Climate and air quality impacts of boreal wildfires — new analytical approaches for the investigation of light absorption and atmospheric reactivity of wildfire particulate matter
DownloadSpring 2022
Wildfire smoke emissions contain substantial amounts of light-absorbing aerosols that can affect the radiation and cloud processes, resulting in climate impacts on regional and even global scales. The radiative impact of these light-absorbing aerosols is largely contributed by brown carbon (BrC),...

Complementary Workflows for Analyzing Multiphase Flowback and Post-flowback Production Data In Unconventional Reservoirs
DownloadFall 2017
The application of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing techniques has resulted in the economic production of previously inaccessible hydrocarbon trapped in very-low permeability reservoirs such as Shale gas/oil, tight gas and tight oil. Although the economic production of these...

Environmentalism, Anti-environmentalism and Deep Stories about Wind Energy Development in Rural Alberta
DownloadFall 2018
The energy transition mandated by the Government of Alberta has put wind energy at the center of discussions about transforming the electrical grid, with goals of reducing emissions and taking action on climate change. Based on in-depth interviews with 36 landowners and key informants (government...

Fluvial inorganic carbon cycling across divergently evolving permafrost landscapes (Yukon and Northwest Territories, Canada)
DownloadFall 2019
Across the circumpolar north, rapid warming and intensifying hydrologic cycles are accelerating permafrost thaw and strengthening land-freshwater linkages. Among the most significant implications of this change is the mobilization of large amounts of previously sequestered organic and inorganic...

Investigation of Failure Modes of Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composite Flywheel Rotors for Energy Storage Systems
DownloadFall 2022
High-velocity and long-lifetime operating conditions of modern high-speed energy storage flywheel rotors may create the necessary conditions for failure modes not included in current quasi-static failure analyses. The central hypothesis for this thesis research is that (i) viscoelastic effects...

Spring 2022
In this dissertation, I examine the major texts of nineteenth-century African American abolitionist Martin Delany to show how he transforms literary genres to develop his arguments for emigration and the uplift of African Americans in the United States. By doing so, I argue first that Delany is...

Scenario-Based Assessment and Projection of Water Use for the Canadian Oil and Gas Sector and Several Low-carbon Technologies Available to the Oil Sands
DownloadSpring 2023
The Canadian oil and gas sector is a significant contributor to Canada’s economy, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and water use. Society is increasingly focused on GHG emissions, and it is broadly recognized that GHG reductions in the oil and gas sector have an important role in Canada’s meeting...

Fall 2023
This thesis is composed of three studies. First study (Gold Mining and Disparities in Indigenous Infant Health in the Brazilian Amazon): Regulations in mining industries can mitigate environmental pollution and health risks. The health of indigenous communities may be disproportionately harmed by...

Temporary Foreign Work, Precarious Migrant Labor and Advocacy in Canada: A Critical Exploratory Case Study
DownloadFall 2020
Over the past forty-seven years, thousands of temporary foreign migrant workers have been arriving in Canada annually, to labor in sectors of precarious work including farming, caregiving and the service sector given the demand from employers seeking cheaper sources of labor or for work that...
