The Structure and Dynamics of Fish Isotopic and Trophic Niches in Natural Lakes and Constructed Fisheries Offsets in the Alberta Oil Sands
DownloadFall 2022
Habitat offsets, where damages to natural ecosystems caused by socio-economic development projects are compensated for by the construction or restoration of other ecosystems, can contribute to biological conservation when implemented properly. But, large uncertainties remain surrounding our...

Spring 2022
Hydraulically fractured horizontal wells are widely adopted for the development of tight or shale gas reservoirs. The presence of highly heterogeneous, multi-scale, fracture systems often renders any detailed characterization of the fracture properties challenging. The discrete fracture network...

Spring 2022
This work presents new petrography, mineral major and trace element chemistry, whole rock major and trace element chemistry, whole rock Sr-Nd-Hf isotope composition, and phlogopite Rb-Sr isotope geochronology for the Mel kimberlite, Nunavut and Dharma kimberlite, Northwest Territories. This data...

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...

Petrogenesis of the Moose Lake Area of the Acasta Gneiss Complex, Slave Craton, Northwest Territories, Canada
DownloadSpring 2021
The Acasta Gneiss Complex (AGC) is a late Hadean to early Archean terrane in northwestern Canada known to contain the oldest evolved rocks on Earth. However, only a small portion of the AGC has been studied in detail. This study aims to explore one of the poorly explored portions of the AGC, the...

Hydrocarbon Mixture and CO2 Adsorptions in A Nanopore-Bulk Multiscale System in Relation to CO2 Enhanced Shale Gas Recovery
Download2021-07-01
Thanks to the continuous depletion of conventional gas reservoirs, shale gas plays an important role to meet the global natural gas demand. The CO2 'huff-n-puff' process has been proven to be an effective method to enhance shale gas recovery and sequestrate CO2. Unlike conventional reservoirs,...

TMSim_Consol
2021-06-04
Implemented in GoldSim, TMSim_Consol uses an explicit finite difference method to calculate the void ratio at each time step. Excess pore pressure and effective stress in each layer are then derived from void ratio. In addition to the specific gravity (Gs) and geometric properties of the deposit,...

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...

Polar bear (Ursus maritimus) foraging, spatial, and energetics ecology in the changing Arctic
DownloadFall 2020
Climate warming in the Arctic has resulted in rapid and extensive changes to sea ice dynamics and profound ecological impacts, including changes to the timing of life history events, community structure, and food web dynamics. Sea ice-dependent species such as polar bears (Ursus maritimus) are...
