Analytical and Experimental Study of Gas Flow Regime in the Matrix and Fractures of Shale Gas Reservoirs
DownloadFall 2016
One of the most significant differences between conventional and unconventional gas resources is the ultra-low matrix permeability of unconventional gas reservoirs such as shale, coal and tight gas. Matrix permeability of shales is an elusive but important parameter in characterizing shale gas...

U-Pb geochronology and REE geochemistry of the pulsed Cretaceous magmatism in High Arctic Canada: implications for lithospheric evolution and magma genesis
DownloadFall 2016
Cretaceous magmatism in the Sverdrup Basin of Arctic Canada consists of alkalic and tholeiitic phases that are widely considered to be part of the circum-Arctic High Arctic large igneous province (HALIP). The emplacement of large igneous provinces is commonly attributed to mantle plumes. However,...

Freshwater microbialites from Laguna Bacalar, Quintana Roo, Mexico: effects controlling their growth
DownloadFall 2014
Microbialites are among the oldest direct evidence of life on Earth. They reached their greatest abundance and diversity during the Proterozoic and decline thereafter. The decline has been attributed to grazing and/or burrowing by metazoan, to changes in ocean chemistry leading to a drop in...

Metamorphic devolatilization, mineral reaction, and fluid alteration in the Mica Creek area (British Columbia, Canada) inferred from whole-rock and mineral nitrogen isotope signatures
DownloadSpring 2019
The Neoproterozoic Horsethief Creek Group metasedimentary rocks in the Mica Creek area (British Columbia, Canada) are an important supracrustal sequence in the Canadian Cordillera. They contain a continuous range of metamorphic grades from slate, progressively to schists in the biotite, garnet,...

Fall 2015
Specialist predators with a limited diet may be less adaptable to environmental change than generalists, which consume a diversity of prey. As the climate changes, ecological homogenization is occurring, where generalist species outcompete specialists, reducing ecosystem complexity. In Arctic...

Analysis of Water Flowback and Gas Production Data for Fracture Characterization in the Horn River Basin
DownloadSpring 2019
Shale gas is one of the most promising energy resources due to its wide distribution, abundant reserves, and low pollutant emissions to the environment. Although shale gas plays usually have very low permeability and porosity, the use of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing technologies...

Geochronology, Isotope Geochemistry, and Molybdenum Distribution in the Central African Copperbelt: Examples from Chibuluma West, Kamoa, and Kipushi
DownloadSpring 2019
The Chibuluma West, Kamoa, and Kipushi stratiform deposits of the Central African Copperbelt have been evaluated using a series of geochemical techniques to better constrain the timing and origin of these deposits, with relevance to the origin of the Copperbelt as a whole. Petrographic, isotopic...

Geochemistry, Geochronology, and Fluid Inclusion Study of the Newton Epithermal Gold, and Morrison Porphyry Copper Deposits, British Columbia
DownloadFall 2015
Petrologic, geochemical, geochronological, and fluid inclusion studies were conducted on the Newton epithermal and Morrison porphyry deposits in central British Columbia, as a part of a large collaborative research project to combine geological, ZTEM, magnetotelluric, and magnetic studies, in...

Stratigraphy, petrography and geochemistry of the Bad Heart Formation, Northwestern Alberta
DownloadSpring 2011
Bad Heart Formation oolitic ironstone is the largest resources of iron in western Canada. During this study, 45 new sections from outcrop, trench and drill holes were mapped, and 325 samples were collected for petrographic and geochemical analysis. The objective of the first paper is to refine...

Fall 2009
Recent discoveries of kimberlites in North America have revealed that different processes are involved in the generation of kimberlite magma. A multi-disciplinary approach combining mineralogical, petrological, geochemical, and geochronological methods is used to classify the kimberlites,...
