The goal of this thesis is to address the need to improve forestry monitoring and satellite validation techniques to better contextualize the effects that human-induced climate change is having on tropical dry forests (TDFs). Climate change is expected to change regional and global precipitation...

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...

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...
