Origin, fate, and transport of dissolved organic gases in bedrock aquitards; Saskatchewan, Canada
(2016-12-19)
Dissolved gases including methane (CH4), ethane (C2H6), and propane (C3H8) are natural components of groundwater. Knowledge of the origin, distribution, and fate of these gases is crucial for assessing the impacts of oil ...
HIGH-RESOLUTION STABLE ISOTOPE ANALYSIS OF BIOGENIC CARBONATES AS PROXY EVIDENCE FOR HOLOCENE ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE: EXAMPLES FROM AUTHIGENIC LAKE CARBONATE AND BIVALVE ISOTOPE PROFILES
(2017-01-04)
Biogenic carbonates are valuable archives of paleoenvironmental information because they record chemical signatures of ambient environmental conditions during their formation. Therefore, long-term records of biogenic ...
THE APPLICATION OF PUSH-PULL TESTING TO DEFINE BIOGEOCHEMICAL CONTROLS ON SELENIUM AND NITRATE ATTENUATION IN SATURATED COAL WASTE ROCK
(2017-01-04)
Surface mining of steelmaking coal in the Elk Valley, British Columbia, Canada, has resulted in the release of constituents of interest, such as selenium (Se) and nitrate (NO3-). Oxidation of sulfide minerals in the ...
NITRATE IN COAL WASTE ROCK DUMPS, ELK VALLEY, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA
(2016-07-20)
Explosives used for blasting during mining operations contain nitrogen (N) compounds. The release of N from blasting residuals can result in elevated nitrate (NO3ˉ) concentrations in freshly blasted waste rock, which can ...
Ichnology, Sedimentology and Paleoenvironmental Reconstruction of the Lower Cambrian Addy Quartzite, northeastern Washington State, U.S.A.
(2012-02-23)
The Addy Quartzite is a tide-dominated shallow-marine unit of heterolithic nature found in northeast Washington State. The Addy is Early Cambrian in age and reflects sedimentation during a global transgression along the ...
Depositional dynamics of a giant carbonate platform-the Famennian Palliser Formation of Western Canada
(2003-01-17)
Carbonate platforms dominated by great thicknesses of ostensibly uniform, thick bedded, poorly fossiliferous and burrow-mottled, subtidal limestones are found throughout the Phanerozoic, yet are poorly understood. Deposited ...
The characteristics and origin of the Hoidas Lake REE Deposit
(2010-01)
The Hoidas Lake Rare Earth Element (REE) Deposit is one of several REE showings which are spatially associated with a regional-scale fault system that cuts through the Rae Province in northern Saskatchewan. The showings ...
Flora of the Ravenscrag Formation of the Big Muddy Valley, Willow Bunch Lake map area (72H), Saskatchewan
(2009)
Paleocene aged beds of the Ravenscrag Formation exposed in the Big Muddy Valley of Southern Saskatchewan produce numerous plant fossils. Studies into these fossils last occurred in the 1930s. Studies into the contemporaneous ...
Numerical simulation of brine migration in the vicinity of a potash mine
(1998-01-01)
The development and results of a 3-D site-specific groundwater flow and transport study of the Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan Incorporated Cory Division Potash Mine (PCS Cory Mine) and surrounding area are presented. ...
Sedimentology of the Swift Formation (Jurassic) in the Little Rocky Mountains of Montana
(1990)
The marine strata of the Swift Formation (Upper Callovian-Oxfordian) are widely distributed and well exposed in the Little Rocky Mountains of north-central Montana. The contact between the Swift and the underlying marine ...
