Modelling the impacts of climate change on blue and green water interchange, crop yields, and virtual water trade under drought and post-drought conditions in Nelson River Basin
DownloadFall 2023
The unfolding climate change crisis poses a growing challenge to water and food security, and yet the reliability of the global breadbaskets and their relation with water resources in the future is poorly understood. The global breadbaskets are defined as key production regions for food grains...

Refining the geochronology and paleoenvironmental significance of key tephra beds in Yukon and Alaska
DownloadFall 2024
Developing precise analytical tools for dating young volcanic deposits (under 3 million years old) is essential for constructing Quaternary chronological frameworks. This dissertation presents an improved method for determining eruption ages of volcanic ash (tephra) deposits in the ice-age...

Sacred Geographies, Nationalism, and Space: Negotiating Colonial Praxis and Nationalist Visions in the Planning of Anuradhapura’s New Town
DownloadFall 2024
Sangapala Arachchige Don, Pradeep Dissanayake
Postcolonial urban landscapes are not only shaped by colonialism but also by nationalism and people’s spatial practices. The scholarship on colonial urban development and postcolonial urbanism is well established and has exposed the contested nature of postcolonial spatial experience. However,...

Deciphering Petrogenetic Histories of Polymict Regolith Breccias from the Moon, Mars, and 4 Vesta
DownloadFall 2024
The geological histories of planetary bodies in our solar system can be understood by unraveling the petrogenetic histories and evolution of regolith breccias derived from their planetary surfaces. This study investigates three meteoritic breccias, Northwest Africa (NWA) 14340, Sariçiçek, and NWA...

The Effects of Tides and Submesoscale Mixed Layer Eddies on Deep Convection in the Labrador Sea: Simulations at Resolutions Consistent with Coupled Climate Models
DownloadFall 2024
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicts that the large-scale overturning circulation will weaken over the 21st century. As with many other oceanic consequences of anthropogenic climate forcing, such as increased warming, acidification, glacial and sea ice melt, marine heatwaves,...

High-resolution Sequence Stratigraphy of the Southwestern Llanos Basin, Colombia: An integrated analysis
DownloadFall 2024
This research aims to enhance the understanding of the Upper Cretaceous sequence in the southwestern area of the Llanos Foreland Basin, Colombia. The core of this study revolves around the analysis of seven cored locations, which cover nearly the entire Cretaceous sequence. In addition to core...

Today is a Different Day: Exploring First Nations Emergency Preparedness in the Province of Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2024
Polard-Yopek, Nathan Alexander
First Nations in Canada bear disproportionate risk posed by environmental hazards. Existing literature indicates that colonization and systemic underinvestment in First Nations have historically led to low levels of preparedness. As climate change is causing the impacts of environmental hazards...
