Fall 2011
Drilling-induced fractures in borehole cores have distinct morphologies (e.g., petal, petal-centreline, saddle, and disk) and are produced under pure tensional stress, although most in-situ stresses are compressive. 3D numerical models show that tensile stress concentrations occur near the bottom...

Three-dimensional Outcrop Modelling of Fluvial and Estuarine Outcrops in the Lower Cretaceous McMurray Formation, Northeast Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2018
While it is widely accepted that both cross-bedded sand and Inclined Heterolithic Stratification (IHS) are the two main geobodies that compose Aptian-aged middle McMurray Formation strata, the stratigraphic relationship between the two units and their physiographic depositional positions in a...

THREE-DIMENSIONAL OUTCROP MODELLING, SEDIMENTOLOGY, AND ICHNOLOGY OF THE FALHER D MEMBER, NORTHEAST BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA
DownloadFall 2022
The Lower Cretaceous Falher Member is an important hydrocarbon reservoir in the Deep Basin of Alberta and British Columbia. Owing to its economic importance, it has been the subject of many studies. However, there remains contention on the depositional interpretation of individual Falher Member...

Three-Dimensional Skeletal and Dental Relations in Orthodontic Patients with Class I and Class II Division 1 Malocclusions
DownloadFall 2018
Introduction: The fundamental purpose of this thesis was to develop a novel three-dimensional (3D) cephalometric analysis that utilizes a 3D Cartesian coordinate system to classify orthodontic patients into different malocclusion groups, per skeletal and dental relationships they share. A review...

Three-dimensional slope stability effects in the failure at the Mount Polley Tailings Storage Facility
DownloadFall 2020
On 4 August 2014, a breach occurred in the perimeter embankment at the Mount Polley Tailings Storage Facility in British Columbia, Canada, causing a spill of mining waste into the environment. The Government of British Columbia retained an Independent Review Panel (2015) to determine the cause of...

Fall 2016
The temperature distribution controls many processes occurring at subduction zones, such as slab dehydration and metamorphism, mantle wedge melting and the formation of arc volcanoes, and the rupture width of megathrust earthquakes. The thermal structure of the subducting oceanic plate (slab) is...
