Spring 2023
This dissertation seeks to examine the evolving politics of planning and governance of climate risks in Bhubaneswar city in India, by analyzing how climate risk governance has evolved and its implications on future adaptation possibilities. Southern cities such as Bhubaneswar have been at the...

Sedimentological, Ichnological, and Architectural Characteristics of Geobodies in a Fluvial to Estuary Setting: the McMurray Formation in the Christina River area, NE Alberta, Canada
DownloadSpring 2023
The Lower Cretaceous McMurray Formation is the primary host of the crude bitumen reserves in the Athabasca Oils Sand Region. The regionally extensive meander belts associated with estuary point bars have been recognized as the primary reservoir facies in the McMurray Formation. It is widely...

Spring 2023
Immigration is a life-changing decision accompanied by new experiences for individuals. Depending on background, this experience can be varied from one to another and can influence the experience of sense of place in the new environment. This thesis contributes to this area of inquiry by applying...

USING PHOTOGRAMMETRY TO ANALYZE THE MORPHOLOGY, TAPHONOMY, AND SEDIMENT DEFORMATION OF BRASILICHNIUM TRACKWAYS ON A SLOPING SAND DUNE FROM THE NAVAJO FORMATION
DownloadFall 2023
The ichnogenus Brasilichnium is widely distributed locally and is found stratigraphically on eolian sediments of the same western erg system of the Early Jurassic period. Exceptionally wellpreserved synapsid trackways of Brasilichnium were discovered by researchers from the National Park Service...

Characterizing the Impacts of Seismic Exploration Lines on the Hydrology and Vadose Zone for a Watershed in West-Central Alberta
DownloadFall 2023
Seismic lines are long linear cut lines through forests created for hydrocarbon exploration and comprise over 50 % of all linear disturbances in the Canadian Boreal Forest. They are known to impact local eco-hydrological conditions and show minimal regeneration back to pre-disturbance conditions....

Fall 2023
Graphite-forming events occurred throughout Earth history and extend up to solar and pre-solar contexts. However, a comprehensive understanding of the timeline of these events has been hindered by a lack of chronological information for graphite. Here we explore the geochronological potential of...

MIL 05035, NWA 10597, NWA 8632, NWA 479 and NWA 4898 are all unbrecciated lunar mare basalt meteorites, interpreted to have individually experienced a single hypervelocity collision event that would have resulted in their ejection from the Moon. A comprehensive study of shock deformation and...

Sulfur Speciation and Curation Considerations for the Carbonaceous Chondrite Tagish Lake and Other Meteorites
DownloadSpring 2023
Carbonaceous chondrites contain significant abundances of sulfur components such as sulfide, sulfate, elemental sulfur (S0), and organosulfur compounds. These are significant because questions remain regarding the role of S in the origin of life. Chondrites and all other meteorites are out of...

Secondary succession is defined as natural regeneration following complete forest clearance from anthropogenic or natural disturbances. Traditional strategies aimed to map and characterize secondary succession using remote sensing are usually based on deterministic approaches, where transitions...

Shifts in organic matter character and microbial community dynamics from glacier headwaters to downstream rivers in the Canadian Rocky Mountains
DownloadSpring 2023
Climate change is causing mountain glacial systems to warm rapidly, leading to increased water fluxes from these catchments and concomitant export of glacially-derived sediment and organic matter (OM). Glacial OM represents an aged, but potentially bioavailable carbon pool that is compositionally...
