Spring 2020
Gahcho Kué is a diamond mine in the Northwest Territories of Canada that opened in 2016. This is the first study into the morphology, N systematics, and stable isotope (C and N) composition of the Gahcho Kué diamonds, and the mineral chemistry of the associated inclusions. The resulting data are...

Spring 2019
This thesis contributes to the development of chronological and geological frameworks for the archaeological record of the mineable oil sands regions in northeastern Alberta, Canada. This area contains a rich pre-European contact archaeological record that has largely been documented through...

Fall 2009
This study investigates the interactions between carbon dioxide, climate, and glaciers of the Canadian Rockies under a relatively conservative IPCC emission scenario for the 21st century through the use of the PSU/NCAR MM5 mesoscale model (MM) nested within the Princeton GFDL global...

High-Resolution Geochemical Analysis of Controls on Organic Matter Accumulation in the Middle-Upper Devonian Horn River Group
DownloadFall 2020
Organic carbon-rich mudstones, or ‘black shales’, record highly anomalous perturbations of local or earth systems at critical times in earth history. Paleoenvironmental parameters, including primary productivity, redox conditions, and sedimentation rate, have been widely recognized as the...

Fall 2020
Anthropogenic climate warming is degrading the cryosphere. Retreating alpine glaciers and thawing permafrost pose the risk of releasing previously sequestered legacy contaminants to downstream environments, with potential negative consequences for downstream aquatic ecosystems. In this thesis I...

Fall 2016
The Alaska Highway through Southwestern Yukon is located in the discontinuous permafrost zone with many areas of the highway corridor associated with degrading permafrost. Given the strategic value of the corridor, it is critical to have a clear understanding of permafrost characteristics and...

Fall 2014
This research investigates radially spreading intrusion created from a forced plume, when fluid continuously injected vertically from a nozzle entrains uniformly stratified ambient as it falls back upon itself. The flow evolution is determined as it depends upon the ambient buoyancy frequency,...

Monitoring year-to-year variability in dry mixed-grass prairie yield using multi-sensor remote sensing
DownloadFall 2012
The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and harvested biomass were compared to assess rangeland productivity (above-ground green biomass or “yield”) in southern Albertan dry mixed-grass prairie. Seasonal trends during the 2009 and 2010 growing seasons were investigated using harvested...

The application of detrital zircon grains from Pleistocene eskers for reconnaissance bedrock mapping in the Acasta Gneiss Complex
DownloadFall 2019
The Acasta Gneiss Complex (AGC) is a ~2400 km2 Hadean-Mesoarchean terrane that contains the oldest known zircon-bearing rocks on Earth. Despite its importance for early Earth geology, only a small fraction (~50 km2) has been mapped in detail. To determine the lateral extent of ancient rocks and...
