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...

Fall 2024
The Hudson Bay and James Bay are critically understudied regions of the Arctic undergoing many changes due to climate change and Arctic Amplification. Cree and Inuit communities surrounding the bay have reported drastic changes in the marine environment since the late 1990s. This thesis explores...

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...

Fall 2024
Overcrowding causes transit riders’ dissatisfaction and may lead to ridership loss while taking a toll on agencies’ resources and forcing them to deal with service disruptions. While the COVID-19 pandemic led to a significant reduction in demand for transit trips, social distancing requirements...

Mineral Carbonation Potential and Transition Metal Migration in Kimberlite and Ultramafic Rocks: An Integrated Study of Acid Leaching, Enhanced Rock Weathering, and Microbial CO2 Sequestration
DownloadFall 2024
Carbonation of mafic and ultramafic rocks and mineral wastes provides a permanent way to sequester excess atmospheric CO2. Recent research has shown that this method also offers the potential for enhanced recovery of critical metals from mine tailings. This thesis presents a comprehensive study...

SEDIMENTOLOGICAL AND ICHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF THE LATE CARBONIFEROUS–MIDDLE PERMIAN SUCCESSION IN THE SUBSURFACE OF CENTRAL SAUDI ARABIA
DownloadFall 2023
The Late Carboniferous–Middle Permian Unayzah Group is a widespread sand-rich stratigraphic unit with equivalent deposits across the subsurface of the Arabian Peninsula. Historically, sediment deposition for this interval in the subsurface of Saudi Arabia has been ascribed to continental settings...

Structural Analysis and Kinematic Restoration along the Nova Scotia Passive Margin, Atlantic Canada
DownloadFall 2023
The Nova Scotia passive continental margin is characterized by longitudinal variation in crustal structure from the volcanic U.S. Atlantic Margin in the southwest to a non-volcanic Newfoundland Margin in the northeast. The objectives of this study include characterizing the tectonic structure of...

Spring 2023
The covariance of increasing spinel Cr# and olivine Mg# (“the olivine-spinel mantle array” or “OSMA”) has been used as a sensitive indicator for the melting history of mantle peridotites. The basis for this model has been largely empirical thus far. In this study, the most recent THERMOCALC-based...
