Toxic White Masculinity: Literary and Cinematic Representations of Terrorism and Antagonistic Masculinities in Colonial Algeria and 9/11 United States
DownloadFall 2017
My thesis explores the ways in which the re-enactment of an aggressive white masculinity that is heteronormative, militarist, and aggressive, one that is also race- and class-specific, is the cornerstone of the neo-liberal world order in Western Europe and in the U.S. My project turns to...

Toxicity of thallium to the water flea (Daphnia magna) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss).
DownloadFall 2022
Thallium (Tl) is a trace metal that can be found at elevated concentrations in waters associated with the mining and refinement of coal and base metals. Although the effects of Tl on aquatic biota are poorly studied, the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME) has established a...

Toxicological Characterization of Hydraulic Fracturing Flowback and Produced Water Exposures to Aquatic Organisms
DownloadFall 2021
Hydraulic fracturing is an unconventional oil and gas extraction method used to liberate oil and gas reserves from low permeability geological formations by injecting large quantities of fracturing fluid into the well-bore under high pressures. A by-product of this process is flowback and...

Trace element concentrations in riverine fish: relationships with body size, food web dynamics and trace element concentrations in surface water
DownloadSpring 2020
Freshwater fish are an important resource and form an essential component of freshwater ecosystems. However, stressors such as water pollution are negatively impacting freshwater biodiversity. Trace elements can be environmental pollutants and have the potential to negatively impact the health of...

Trace Element Variability in Clay Sediments as a Function of Environmental Conditions within the Fluvial to Marine Water Transition Zone
DownloadFall 2019
Estuaries are marginal marine environments of considerable complexity, due to their spatial and temporal variations in hydrodynamic energy, water chemistry, and sediment source and composition. This complexity hinders geologists’ ability to accurately reconstruct paleoenvironments and...

Trace elements associated with the coarse and fine aerosol fractions in Sphagnum moss within the Athabasca Bituminous Sands region
DownloadFall 2022
The Athabasca Bituminous Sands industry in Alberta has dramatic impacts on the economy of the province. Nevertheless, with increasing industrial operations, environmental concerns are also raised regarding the contamination of air and water with trace elements (TEs). To better assess the...
