Above, Beneath, and Within: Collaborative and Community-Driven Archaeological Remote Sensing Research in Canada
DownloadSpring 2020
This thesis investigates the application of geophysics and remote sensing techniques in community-driven and collaborative archaeology research in Canada. While these techniques have become common among some archaeologists, they have yet to be extensively used within the lens of Indigenous...

Electrical Resistivity Structure of the Altiplano-Puna Magma Body and Volcan Uturuncu from Magnetotelluric Data
DownloadFall 2015
An intense episode of silicic volcanism in the Southern Altiplano over the past ten million years has created a major volcanic province in the Central Andes known as the Altiplano-Puna Volcanic Complex (APVC). Geophysical evidence indicates that magma is still present in a large mid-crustal...

Fall 2024
Métis archaeological sites are heavily understudied, and when they have been studied in the past the focus was often on Métis material culture. This thesis looks at Métis sites themselves through the lens of landscape archaeology, utilizing a variety of different archaeological techniques. I...

Fall 2010
Landslides have occurred throughout the Holocene geologic epoch and they continue to occur in the Peace River Lowlands of Alberta and British Columbia. This study was conducted to provide an understanding of the processes and extents of one such landslide situated on a major slope at the Town of...

Geothermal exploration and tectonic studies in southwestern Canada using the magnetotelluric method
DownloadFall 2023
Subduction zones are an important class of plate boundaries and are the location of several important geological processes. Significant mineral and geothermal energy resources are also formed by plate convergence. The magnetotelluric (MT) method is a useful tool to study subduction zones,...

Laboratory Rock Strength Measurements of Saturated Carbonates: Implications for the Grosmont Formation
DownloadFall 2018
The Devonian Grosmont formation, located in Alberta, contains vast resources totaling approximately 405 billion barrels of crude bitumen-in-place. The highly viscous bitumen is by definition less than 10° API gravity, remaining immobile at Grosmont formation in-situ temperatures. In the oil and...

Magnetic survery forward modelling and paleomagnetic reconstruction of the South China Block in the Ediacaran
DownloadFall 2020
Studying the Earth’s magnetic field and Earth materials response to the magnetic field provides us with a plethora of information of underground features, paleoclimatology, and paleogeographic features. Measuring magnetic intensity is one of the fastest geophysical survey methods used in research...

Magnetotelluric Imaging of Electrically Anisotropic Crust Near Fort McMurray, Alberta: Implications for Engineered Geothermal Systems
DownloadFall 2014
The goal of this thesis is to investigate the character of the basement rocks beneath the oilsands region around Fort McMurray in the context of developing engineered geothermal systems (EGS). Magnetotelluric (MT) data were collected at 94 stations on two profiles near to Fort McMurray and...

Spring 2020
This thesis uses the magnetotelluric (MT) method to image the electrical resistivity structure of the Laguna del Maule Volcanic Field (LdMVF) and the regional subduction zone structure of central Chile (36°S) in the vicinity of the 2010 Maule earthquake. The LdMVF surrounds the eponymous Laguna...
