DownloadFall 2015
In this thesis, I use the Geographic Information System (GIS) technique of least cost path analysis to recreate the maritime movement events of Paleoamerican peoples traveling through five different North American Northwest Coast landscapes during the late Pleistocene and early Holocene. I make...

On the origin of virtual wetlands by means of computer aided selection or the preservation of favoured places in the struggle for functional wetlands
DownloadSpring 2010
To aid in reclamation planning for the Genesee Coal Mine in Alberta, I qualified the pre-mined state of wetlands and measured land use and land cover (LULC) change between 1982 and 2007. A generalized linear model (GLM) was developed to explain the presence of wetlands on the pre-mined...

The geography of being born too small and spatiotemporal relationships with the outdoor environment
DownloadFall 2018
Background: The geography of where pregnant mothers live is important in furthering our understanding of babies born too small. Many causes are suspected to restrict growth or incur premature delivery, and include prenatal exposures from natural, social, and built habitats. More research is...

The Spatiotemporal Occurrence and Recovery of Shiga Toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) in Well-sourced Drinking Water from Southern Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2018
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are important enteric pathogens that cause significant morbidity and mortality worldwide, as well as in Canada. Drinking water is a key exposure pathway for STEC infection and the occurrence of these pathogens in drinking water sources represents an...
