Carbon dynamics and greenhouse gas emissions in a tropical dry forest and a pre-alpine Bavarian grassland
DownloadFall 2020
The present thesis contains three studies, all of which follow the main trend of quantification and assessment of carbon dynamics and greenhouse gas emissions. The main objectives of the first study “Dynamics of carbon sequestration in tropical dry forests along two successional gradients under...

Cambrian-Ordovician successions and detrital zircon geochronology of North Wales and Nova Scotia
DownloadSpring 2014
The Appalachian-Caledonide Orogen resulted in the collision of Laurentia, Baltica and many peri-Gondwanan terranes, of which two share similar histories. The Harlech Dome and St. Tudwal’s Peninsula, in North Wales, and the Meguma Terrane of southern Nova Scotia, in Atlantic Canada, preserve...

Calibration and Validation of a SWAT model for the quantification of water provision ecosystem service for the Conservation Area of Guanacaste
DownloadFall 2021
Water is considered a cross-cutting resource for all the ecosystem services (ES) types, namely: for the provision of drinking water and food; regulation through flood control; guarantee of a suitable habitat for fauna and flora; and inspiration for many cultures and their intangible heritage...

Spring 2010
Abstract Burrow-associated diagenetic alteration and eventual reservoir quality parameters such as porosity and permeability may be altered due to reorganization of the sediment fabric associated with animal burrowing, or result from heterogeneous cement distribution influenced by the bioturbate...

Building upon ichnological principles: modern biogenic structures, ichnotaxonomic classification, and paleoecological and stratigraphic significance of ichnofossil assemblages
DownloadFall 2009
Biogenic structures can impart important information regarding animal behaviors and depositional conditions at the time of colonization including: sedimentation rate, current velocities, distribution of food resources, oxygenation, salinity, and temperature. This thesis utilizes various...

Building Resilient Communities: Planning for Natural Hazards Risks in Small and Mid-Sized Municipalities in Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2019
Land-use planning is a vital discipline in the discourse on climate change and disaster risk reduction because of its role as a long-term non-structural mitigation measure. Planners can gather and analyze evidence-based data to influence decision-makers on how to minimize vulnerability via a...

Spring 2024
The climate crisis has become one of the most critical and highly discussed issues that humanity is currently facing. As the impacts of climate change are becoming more severe, it is anticipated that internal and external migration will continue to increase drastically (IDMC, 2023. IPCC, 2023,...

Boxed-in: Comparing Algorithms for Box-flight Mass-Balance Greenhouse Gas Flux Measurements from Mineable and In Situ Oil Sands Developments
DownloadSpring 2022
To combat global warming, Canada has committed to reducing greenhouse gases (GHGs) 40-45% below 2005 emission levels by 2025. Monitoring emissions and deriving accurate inventories are essential to reaching these goals. GHGs can be measured at a small scale, often using ground measurements which...

Bioturbation and Resource Quality: A Case Study from the Upper Cretaceous Lysing and Nise Formations, Ellida and Midnatsoll Fields, Norwegian Sea
DownloadSpring 2013
Nine cores (approx. 156 m) within the Upper Cretaceous Lysing and Nise formations (Møre Basin, Norwegian continental shelf) are studied in order to assess the relationship between bioturbate fabric and the resulting permeability distribution. Overall, the Lysing and Nise formations strata...
