Fall 2010
Urbanization is viewed as a major threat to global biodiversity because of its role in the loss and fragmentation of low-lying, productive habitats associated with coastal plains and river valleys. My study examines the effects of urbanization on the movements and distribution of songbirds in...

Spring 2011
This dissertation aims to propose a new and practical method to obtain equivalent fracture network permeability (EFNP), which represents and replaces all the existing fractures located in each grid block for the reservoir simulation of naturally fractured reservoirs. To achieve this, first the...

Porosity and permeability in the Graminia Formation, Upper Devonian Winterburn Group in the Germain Field, northeastern Alberta
DownloadFall 2014
The Upper Devonian Graminia Formation (Winterburn Group) found in the Germain Field of northeastern Alberta includes the Blueridge Member (Frasnian) and the Upper Graminia Member (Famennian). A green silty-shale paleosol overlies the formation in this area. The bitumen-bearing dolostones of this...

Fall 2012
Quantification of transport properties at pore scale is important for efficient oil extraction, improving fuel cell performance etc. An experimental methodology is developed for calculating permeability and porosity in microfluidic devices that contain structured and unstructured porous media....

Reservoir and geomechanical coupled simulation of CO2 sequestration and enhanced coalbed methane recovery
DownloadFall 2009
Coalbeds are an extremely complicated porous medium with characteristics of heterogeneity, dual porosity and stress sensitivity. In the past decades great achievements have been made to the simulation models of pressure depletion coalbed methane (CBM) recovery process and CO2 sequestration and...

Fall 2016
The Underground Coal Gasification (UCG) is still not in a worldwide operation despite inheriting an old idea which is nearly one and a half century old. Aside from effects by other fuel sources on development of the UCG and from a technical perspective, this delay is due to the complex nature of...

Studies on Radioactive Background Mitigation for the PICO-500 Dark Matter Search Experiment
DownloadFall 2024
The PICO-500 dark matter search experiment features the next-generation bubble chamber detector designed by the PICO collaboration. The sensitivity and live-time of ultra-low background detectors, such as PICO-500, are crucially dependent on the radio-pure materials used in the construction. The...

Spring 2022
In predicting oil and gas recovery, researchers develop models primarily focusing on macro- or milli-scale flows by applying Navier-Stokes types solutions and no-slip boundary conditions. They compare or cross-check their models to known experimental results available in the literature for larger...
