Age, geochemistry, and fluid characteristics of the MAX porphyry Mo deposit, southeast British Columbia
DownloadFall 2009
Lawley, Christopher John Michael
MAX is a porphyry Mo deposit located near Trout Lake village in southeastern British Columbia. Mo mineralization is hosted by variably-altered calc-alkaline granodiorite dikes. Quartz veins have been subdivided into a paragenetic sequence based on vein style and crosscutting relationships....

Characterization of Reservoir Quality Using Ichnological, Sedimentological, and Geochemical Methods
DownloadFall 2013
A detailed analysis of subsurface reservoirs from offshore Norway and Alberta, Canada is undertaken in this thesis to better categorize the influence trace fossils have on reservoir quality. Specifically, the data collected focuses on understanding burrow fabrics in two- and three-dimensions (2D...

Characterization of late-diagenetic calcites of the Devonian Southesk-Cairn Carbonate Complex (Alberta Basin): constraints from petrography, stable and radiogenic isotopes, fluid inclusion and organic matter maturity data
DownloadSpring 2010
The Alberta Basin has been the subject of various diagenetic studies but the precise understanding of the processes behind deep burial cementation remains unclear. This study investigates late-diagenetic calcites from the Devonian Southesk-Cairn Carbonate Complex with the purpose of constraining...

Spring 2021
This thesis presents two studies employing computational approaches to tephra source attribution and tephra volume estimation. Glass major oxide data was used to train 11 classification algorithms. Each classifier probabilistically attributed tephra chemistries to one of ten volcanic sources from...

Controls on organic-rich mudstone deposition: The Devonian Duvernay Formation, Alberta, Canada
DownloadSpring 2016
The Upper Devonian Duvernay Formation of Western Canada is a prolific source rock that in recent years has become an exploration target for shale gas and liquids. Development of the Duvernay Formation has demonstrated the importance of robust models for rock properties such as porosity,...

Diagenetic Controls on Hydrothermal Fluid Flow in the Osiris, Isis, and Isis East Carlin-Type Gold Showings, Nadaleen Trend, Yukon
DownloadFall 2015
Following ATAC Resources Ltd.’s 2010 discovery of the gold prospects in the Nadaleen Trend (Central Yukon), company geologists and consultants determined that Precambrian carbonate rocks within the trend contain large endowments of gold located in the hinges of anticlines and fault zones. ...

Ediacaran iron formations and carbonates from Uruguay: palaeoceanographic, palaeoclimatic and palaeobiologic implications
DownloadFall 2010
The Ediacaran in Uruguay preserves a unique record of deposits generated during the assembly of the palaeocontinent Gondwana and concurrent with major changes in the atmosphere and oceans, and the rise of animal life. Recent studies have suggested that the deep oceans remained anoxic and highly...

Effects of salinity on the leaching of ionic species from the Duvernay Formation, a Canadian hydraulic fracturing play
DownloadSpring 2021
Hydraulic fracturing combined with horizontal drilling has revolutionized the oil and gas industry in North America. The majority of Canada’s hydraulic fracturing operations are in Alberta and British Columbia, with the Montney and Duvernay formations ranked highest in five hydraulically...

Environmental Controls on Alternating Aragonite-calcite Laminations in Notch-speleothems from Cayman Brac, Cayman Islands, British West Indies
DownloadFall 2017
Speleothems that grow in semi-exposed surface environments, such as wave-cut notches, are not well understood despite their widespread distribution. The +6.4 m-high wave-cut notch on Cayman Brac, that formed ~ 125 ka ago, is decorated with stalactites, stalagmites, and columns that grew between...
