This thesis applies microanalytical tools to the geochemical investigation of different mineral components in the volcanic rock kimberlite. This work significantly advances the application of one of these tools, deep UV (193 nm) laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry...

Resolving important fundamental questions about the petrogenesis of cratonic lithosphere is difficult in ancient cratons that have long and complex histories. Several properties of cratons are poorly constrained and our understanding of their petrogenesis largely remains ambiguous. In the Archean...

Land-use pressures in Alberta's agricultural landscapes have intensified in recent years. With the province's broad historical agricultural base and ongoing urban expansion, there have been growing concerns about the loss of prime agricultural land. These concerns and conflicts have been...

The focus of this thesis is the use of micrometeorological techniques to quantify the flux of trace gases from surface area sources to the atmosphere. In particular, it is an investigation into the feasibility of using such techniques, specifically the eddy covariance and inverse dispersion...

The subject of this thesis is the micrometeorological estimation of the rate of transfer (flux'') of gases from surface area sources to the atmosphere. More specifically, it is an investigation of a particular implementation of theinverse dispersion'' method (ID), whereby rather than measuring...

Functional morphology is an important tool for paleoecology. However, functional interpretations which are based on tenuous logic without a proper test or which rely on circular reasoning can be problematic. Biomechanical tests can help to provide structured and absolute assessments of...

Process ichnology is a relatively new ichnological tool whereby trace fossils are interpreted as the product of changing infaunal stresses including: salinity fluctuation, reduced oxygenation, high sedimentation rates, reduced nutrient availability, and elevated hydraulic energy. In this...

The glacial geology and geomorphology of central Banks Island record the extent and dynamics of the northwest Laurentide Ice Sheet (LIS) during Late Wisconsinan glaciation. Additional stratigraphic exposures document Mid Quaternary environmental changes. Detailed mapping and a new chronology...
