Pliocene climate change on Ellesmere Island, Canada : annual variability determined from stable isotopes of fossil wood
(2006-06-06)
Tree-ring analyses have contributed significantly to investigations of climate change and climate cycles, including the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) and El Niño/Southern Oscillation ...
Re-Os dating of algal laminites : reduction-enrichment of metals in the sedimentary environment and evidence for new geoporphyrins
(2004)
The principal aim of this study is the evaluation of algal laminites as appropriate substrates for the application of the Re-Os chronometer. Devonian Keg River algal laminites produced an isochron date (382.2 ± 6.9 Ma) ...
Sedimentary depositional environment of the Prairie Evaporite Formation, Saskatoon region, Saskatchewan
(1990-08-01)
This thesis attempts to reconstruct the environments in which the potashbearing,
Prairie Evaporite Formation (Middle Devonian) of the Elk Point Basin was
deposited, using preserved primary sedimentary features. Evidence ...
Trace element geochemistry of the Milk River aquifer groundwater, Alberta, Canada
(1998)
Groundwater samples from 27 wells located along a 50 km flow path in the Milk River
aquifer, Alberta, Canada, were analyzed for trace elements including rare earth elements
(REEs). The objectives were to: 1) complete the ...
Groundwater investigation in the vicinity of Morden, Manitoba
(1968)
During the summer of 1967, an investigation of the areal
ground-water conditions in the vicinity of Morden, Manitoba,
was carried out. The study was prompted by concern about
deteriorating and dying vegetation on the Canada ...
Thermo-tectonic history of the Kisseynew Domain near Sandy Narrows, Saskatchewan
(2001)
The Sandy Narrows study area is comprised of mainly 1.86-1.84 Ga Kisseynew Domain marine metaturbidite rocks which represent the uppermost stratigraphic level in the Reindeer Zone. Based on mineralogical changes from west ...
Software framework for geophysical data processing, visualization and code development
(2009-07)
IGeoS is an integrated open-source software framework for geophysical data processing under development at the UofS seismology group. Unlike other systems, this processing monitor supports structured multicomponent seismic ...
In situ measurement of the coefficient of molecular diffusion in fine-grained till
(2007)
Diffusion dominated systems, including naturally occurring aquitards and engineered barrier systems, are important components for long-term waste containment. Diffusive transport can be quantified using the effective ...
Sulphide deposits of the Hanson Lake area
(1955)
This thesis embodies a field and laboratory study of the sulphide deposits of the Hanson Lake area, northern Saskatchewan. The field mapping of the mineralized showings indicated none, or very little, lithologie control ...
Vertebrate palaeoichnology of the lower cretaceous (lower Albian) gates formation of Alberta
(2000-04)
Western Canada has few significant skeletal remains of terrestrial vertebrates from the Lower Cretaceous. The only substantial record of Early Cretaceous terrestrial vertebrates comes from footprints. The Grande Cache ...
