Fall 2015
The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate the performance of an alternative eddy viscosity scheme proposed by Wilson (2012) for use in single column models of the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL). More popular schemes parameterize eddy viscosity as a function of turbulent kinetic energy, since...

Spring 2023
The covariance of increasing spinel Cr# and olivine Mg# (“the olivine-spinel mantle array” or “OSMA”) has been used as a sensitive indicator for the melting history of mantle peridotites. The basis for this model has been largely empirical thus far. In this study, the most recent THERMOCALC-based...

The 1.9 Ga Winnipegosis Komatiite: Implications for Earth Accretion, Mantle Dynamics, and Komatiite Formation
DownloadSpring 2018
Komatiites are high temperature, high MgO lavas that have the potential to provide geochemical and thermal insights into the evolution of the Earth's mantle. However, komatiite studies are frequently hampered by the altered nature of all komatiites and the presence of large gaps in the komatiite...

Fall 2017
Almost every year, First Nations are evacuated in Canada due to wildfire proximity and smoke. The remote locations, unique sociocultural characteristics, and limited emergency management resources and infrastructure of many First Nations can present challenges for residents and evacuation...

The Age and Origin of Lithospheric Mantle Beneath Central Victoria Island and Parry Peninsula, Northern Canada
DownloadSpring 2016
New mineral major and trace element chemistry, bulk rock major element chemistry plus bulk rock and olivine PGE-Re-Os isotope data are presented for kimberlite-borne mantle xenoliths from Central Victoria Island, Nunavut and Parry Peninsula, Northwest Territories. The data, along with new and...

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...

Spring 2016
The composition of primary kimberlitic melts has been the subject of much debate because of the heterogeneous nature of kimberlites, their ubiquitous modification by mantle and crustal contamination, their high susceptibility to alteration during and after emplacement, and the fact that the melts...

The Biology of Sclerobionts and their Hosts: Comparing Biomechanical Experiments on Brachiopod Hosts to Sclerobiont Distribution Maps
DownloadFall 2014
Sclerobionts and their host organisms provide a great deal of information for palaeoecological and palaeoenvironmental studies. However, any interpretation of sclerobiont – host relationships depends on an understanding of the host’s orientation. In the past, distinction of host life and...
