Paleomagnetism is the study of ancient geomagnetic field vectors recorded by rocks and sediments. Based on the latitudinal and azimuthal constraints from the paleomagnetic inclinations and declinations, many important discoveries about the horizontal movements of continental blocks, such as the...

This thesis explores the disciplinary and biopolitical tools that are employed by the current neoconservative government of Turkey regarding women’s bodies. Since 2002, with the rise of a new conservative Islamist government, social life has been reshaped and reformed by the conservative...

Paelomagnetic and petromagnetic studies of Chinese Cenozoic sediments: Paleoclimatic, tectonic, and evolutionary implications
DownloadFall 2012
The anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) was investigated in three Chinese Loess Plateau sedimentary sections along a W–E transect. Previously published models assumed that winter monsoons were responsible for the magnetic fabric formation of loess sequences. In our new interpretation, the...

Paleomagnetic studies of volcanic rocks in Siberia and sedimentary rocks in Southern Alberta: From long-term geomagnetic field variations to age determinations
DownloadFall 2013
Paleomagnetism is a fundamental tool to understand the ancient variations of Earth’s magnetic field through time. Important applications to geochronology and paleography come from interpreting the variations of the planetary magnetic vector. This dissertation explores the different applications...

Paleomagnetism and paleogeographic reconstructions of the North China Craton in the Late Carboniferous - Early Permian and the South China Craton in the Late Ediacaran - Early Cambrian
DownloadFall 2022
Abstract The robustness of paleogeographic reconstructions of the North China Craton (NCC) and South China Craton (SCC) in the Ediacaran - Paleozoic is greatly affected by a small number of high-reliability paleomagnetic poles. Reduced reliability of available paleomagnetic data is attributed to...

This thesis provides a study of the Ottoman Empire’s display and citizens at the Great Exhibition of 1851 as represented by British print culture. Using official and satirical sources, it examines mediated images of the “Turk,” identifying and interpreting differences between English and Turkish...

Turkey with pale, soft, exudative (PSE)-like condition is one of the growing concerns in the poultry industry as it affects meat quality due to low ultimate pH at 24 h post mortem (pH24). Hence, there is a need for better utilization of PSE-like meat for the preparation of further processed...
