Mining generates not only vast amounts of waste rock and tailings but is also responsible for far-reaching contamination of soil, groundwater, and surface water, which often requires remediation. This thesis focused on the biogeochemistry of two types of remediation technologies applied at the...

The Upper Devonian Duvernay Formation is an important hydrocarbon source rock in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin and has been a significant unconventional oil, gas liquids, and gas reservoir since 2011. Heterogeneity in this and other shale reservoirs is important in predicting rock...

Carbonate-hosted ore deposits, such as Mississippi Valley-type (MVT), and Irish-type deposits, are a major class of Pb-Zn ores. Due to the mineralogy of these deposits, numerical constraints on the timing of mineralization are few. This thesis investigates pyrite Re-Os geochronology for dating...

Artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) operations are part of the economic stream in most Sub-Saharan African countries. The potential economic, social, and environmental impacts of ASM are extensively recognizable and documented. In view of this, most governments and donor agencies are designing...

Sulfur isotopes of some Archean rocks show unique mass independent fractionation (S-MIF) signatures, which are generally considered to have been produced by UV radiolysis on volcanic SO2 in the oxygen-free Archean atmosphere. Based on the distinct S-MIF signals of different sulfur sources (i.e.,...
