Genesis and controls on mineralization at the Hammer Zone silver showing, Mount Mye Trend, hosted by the Anvil Batholith, South-Central Yukon
DownloadFall 2017
When Silver Range resources acquired the Keg property in 2010, one of the prospects included was the Hammer Zone. Ensuing mapping and surface sampling found the Hammer Zone to be a small, bonanza-grade, epithermal silver system contained entirely within the Anvil Batholith. Initial petrographic...

Impact Evaluation of Climate Smart Agriculture Program Investments in Food Security Using Machine Learning Estimators
DownloadSpring 2023
Smallholder farmers in rural regions of developing countries are often vulnerable to climate events. Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) seeks to sustain or improve agricultural yields while mitigating climate change. The CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS)...

Modelling landscape changes and metrics, and determining optimal resource allocation by integrating Geographic Information Systems, government policy, and economics
DownloadFall 2015
The main goal of this thesis is to contribute to the knowledge base of land use and land cover change dynamics in ecologically sensitive, seasonal environments with a dominant agricultural industry. Anthropogenic alteration by land-based industries currently threatens many ecosystems, including...

Spring 2016
This contribution presents the results of a new mapping and geochemical investigation of well-preserved rock units in the Acasta Gneiss Complex (AGC), Canada, and provides additional support for a broadly mafic Hadean Earth, in which the first evolved crust formation took place in a geodynamic...

Price Relationships and Feedstock Supply for a Second-Generation Ethanol Industry in Canada
DownloadFall 2020
There is potential for a second-generation ethanol industry that uses wheat straw as a feedstock to emerge in Western Canada. This thesis presents three analyses that investigate regional and international factors that influence the future success of this industry. The first two analyses...

The application of detrital zircon grains from Pleistocene eskers for reconnaissance bedrock mapping in the Acasta Gneiss Complex
DownloadFall 2019
The Acasta Gneiss Complex (AGC) is a ~2400 km2 Hadean-Mesoarchean terrane that contains the oldest known zircon-bearing rocks on Earth. Despite its importance for early Earth geology, only a small fraction (~50 km2) has been mapped in detail. To determine the lateral extent of ancient rocks and...
