This thesis investigates improvements in methods used for exploration for geothermal resources with the magnetotelluric (MT) method. Geothermal energy is a renewable resource that provides heat and electricity with low carbon emissions. Targets in conventional geothermal exploration are...

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...

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...
