Study of the Chinese loess and Siberian flood basalts: new global scale insights to the paleoclimate and geomagnetic field changes
DownloadSpring 2017
Paleomagnetism, in conjunction with other earth science methods, studies the behavior of the Earth's magnetic field, the drift of tectonic plate, climate and environmental changes. This thesis implements different applications of paleomagnetism to develop a technique to evaluate age for the...

Bubble chambers filled with fluorocarbons are a world-leading technology to search for nuclear recoils produced by spin-dependent WIMP dark matter particles. In this work, a novel bubble chamber using 28 ± 1 ml of the fluorocarbon C5F12 as target material is investigated. This superheated...

The objective of this work was to simulate the PICASSO experiment and to study the detector response to neutron irradiation. The results of the sim- ulation show the rock neutron rate to be 1-2 neutrons/day for the setup used until 2009 and less than 0.1 neutrons/day for the setup used after...

Prion diseases, are associated with the misfolded form of the prion protein (PrPSc). The prion protein (PrP) has a unique means of transferring infectious diseases, based on a misfolded conformation. However, the mechanism of formation of PrPSc remains unclear owing to difficulties in defining...

Subduction related crustal and mantle deformations and their implications for plate dynamics
DownloadFall 2010
Ocean-continent convergence and subsequent continental collision are responsible for continental growth, mountain building, and severe tectonic events including volcanic eruptions and earthquake activity. They are also key driving forces behind the extensive thermal and compositional...

Subsurface Geophysical Characterization of the Crystalline Canadian Shield in Northeastern Alberta: Implications for Geothermal Development
DownloadFall 2013
In northern Alberta, existing heat flow and geothermal gradient studies suggest that using geothermal heat in oil sands processing would require deep drilling of the crystalline Canadian Shield. Using a 2.36 km deep borehole located near Fort McMurray, the goal of this study is to investigate the...
