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....

Behaviour of Ore-Forming Elements in the Sub-Continental Lithospheric Mantle Below the Slave Craton
DownloadFall 2020
The transport and depositional controls of ore-forming elements such as Ag, Au, Bi, Cu, Mo, Pb, Pt, and Zn has been extensively studied in crustal environments, but the behaviour of these elements within Earth’s mantle require further study. This thesis presents new petrographic and geochemical...

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...

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 the Geothermal Resource at Clarke Lake Field Northeast British Columbia
DownloadFall 2020
Clarke Lake is a depleted gas fi eld developed in carbonate platform deposits of the Slave Point Formation (Middle Devonian) in northeastern British Columbia, Canada. It displays anomalously high reservoir temperature and strong water drive, making it a candidate for repurposing as a source of...

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...

Development and application of the Re-Os isotope system to sediment-hosted Zn-Pb ores and sedimentary pore waters
DownloadFall 2018
The rhenium-osmium (Re-Os) isotopic system is used to determine the age of, and trace the origins of, minerals and fluids found within the Earth's crust. This thesis focuses on application of Re-Os geochronology and isotope systematics to sulphide minerals from carbonate-hosted Zn-Pb ore...

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...
