Practical and Applied Reflectance Spectroscopy: Automated Drill Core Logging and Mineral Mapping
DownloadFall 2012
This thesis investigates three ways that automated reflectance spectroscopy can be used for applied purposes: the automated logging of drill core into ore-bearing and barren zones, the analysis of minerals to provide evidence of hydrothermal alteration, and the creation of mineral maps to show...

Fall 2010
Land ice is losing mass to the world’s oceans at an accelerated rate. The world’s glaciers contain much less ice than the ice sheets but contribute equally to eustatic sea level rise and are expected to continue to do so over the coming centuries if global temperatures continue to rise. It is...

Microbial Community Dynamics in the Hydraulic Fracturing Water Cycle from Two Newly Fractured Shale Gas Wells in the Duvernay Formation, Alberta
DownloadFall 2017
The microbial ecology of the hydraulic fracturing water cycle may influence the efficiency of shale gas production and strategies for water reuse and treatment. In this study, microbial community dynamics were tracked by sequencing of 16S rRNA genes coupled with enumeration of live/dead cells in...

Diagnostic Features of the Rocks and Minerals Peripheral to the Highland Valley Copper District, British Columbia, Canada: Implications for the genesis of porphyry Cu systems and their footprints
DownloadSpring 2019
The Highland Valley Copper (HVC) porphyry Cu (±Mo) district is Canada’s largest and longest operating mine. Globally, exploration expenditure has been increasing, yet very few new resources have been discovered, despite the anticipated Cu demand for the future. Hosted in the Triassic Guichon...

Age, origin and composition of the Attawapiskat lithospheric mantle and its diamonds (western Superior craton, Canada)
DownloadFall 2013
This study reports results from peridotitic and eclogitic xenoliths and di- amond samples from the Attawapiskat area to understand the processes of craton formation and modification in the Superior lithospheric mantle. These diamondiferous kimberlites also provide an opportunity to study the...

Fall 2018
Banded iron formations (BIF) are a key chemical sedimentary record for examining the evolution of the early oceans, atmosphere, and biosphere. While the classic model suggests that BIF were deposited by either anoxygenic photoferrotrophs or oxygen producing cyanobacteria, recent studies have...

Dendrochronology and treeline dynamics within arctic and alpine localities in western and central Canada
DownloadFall 2012
The transition from forest to tundra, commonly called treeline, is expected to advance, particularly in northern latitudes. Treeline in two subarctic locales: the western Mackenzie Mountains, Northwest Territories, and the western Hudson Bay Lowlands southeast of Churchill, Manitoba were studied,...
