Investigations into the Occurrence and Distribution of Bioturbation in Tidally-Influenced Sedimentary Environments
DownloadSpring 2024
Tidally-influenced sedimentary environments are regions where sediment deposition is strongly influenced by the regular ebb and flow of tides. These natural processes result in distinctive and often heterogeneous patterns of sediment distribution and sedimentary structures, both physical and...

Ichnology and geochemistry: an integrated approach to early marine diagenesis in the Arabian Gulf
DownloadSpring 2024
Neoichnological studies in carbonate-dominated tropical latitudes are sparse. Moreso, the coupling of diagenetic research utilizing ichnology has been largely limited to ancient successions. This thesis combines geochemical analyses with modern ichnological observations to better understand the...

Evidence of euxinia in the Norian of western Canada: Implications to halobiid and monotid paleoecology and the sedimentology of the Pardonet formation
DownloadSpring 2024
The Norian Pardonet formation tops a well-studied Triassic stratigraphy in Western Canada which can be viewed in outcrop along the shores of Williston Lake, B. C. The Pardonet itself, however, has remained rather enigmatic. The formation is composed of dominantly finegrained, organic-rich...

Sedimentary Facies, Lithostratigraphy, and Sequence Stratigraphy of the Lower Cretaceous Dina and Cummings, Alberta, Canada
DownloadSpring 2024
The Lower Cretaceous Aptian to Albian Dina and Cummings lithostratigraphic units comprise a complex assemblage of siliciclastic strata deposited in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) during transgression of the Lower Cretaceous Boreal Sea. The internal stratigraphic complexity of this...

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...

Fall 2024
The Rae craton is one of the largest Archean–Paleoproterozoic age terranes on Earth and preserves >1.6 billion years of the planet’s history. However, significant uncertainty remains regarding how and when the crust of this craton was created and reworked. This thesis investigates the nature and...

Fall 2024
Adequate housing is critical for the wellbeing, safety and dignity of individuals and households, as well as for the equality and inclusiveness of society. The human right to adequate housing was first introduced to international law in the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural...

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...

Refining the geochronology and paleoenvironmental significance of key tephra beds in Yukon and Alaska
DownloadFall 2024
Developing precise analytical tools for dating young volcanic deposits (under 3 million years old) is essential for constructing Quaternary chronological frameworks. This dissertation presents an improved method for determining eruption ages of volcanic ash (tephra) deposits in the ice-age...

Sacred Geographies, Nationalism, and Space: Negotiating Colonial Praxis and Nationalist Visions in the Planning of Anuradhapura’s New Town
DownloadFall 2024
Sangapala Arachchige Don, Pradeep Dissanayake
Postcolonial urban landscapes are not only shaped by colonialism but also by nationalism and people’s spatial practices. The scholarship on colonial urban development and postcolonial urbanism is well established and has exposed the contested nature of postcolonial spatial experience. However,...
