Paraglacial reworking of lateral moraine slopes, sharp-crested lateral moraines and alluvial fans buttressed by lateral moraines

Ash, Kenneth T. (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2020)

The ongoing retreat of alpine glaciers has exposed large quantities of glacial sediments prone to paraglacial geomorphic processes. Lateral moraines are key features of these glacial landscapes. Studies on the paraglacial ...
The Porter Puddle Complex, petrology and geochemistry of the Marmot Formation, northern Canadian Cordilleran miogeocline

Williams, Benjamin P. (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2013)

The Porter Puddle Complex (PPC) of the Ordovician–Silurian Marmot Formation volcanics (MFV) is located in the northeastern Canadian Cordillera (NTS map sheet 106B/SE). The PPC has previously been interpreted as a rift-related ...
Provenance and diagenesis of the Lower Cetaceous to Middle Jurassic sandstones in the slope well Newburn H-23, Scotian Slope

Sangster, Christopher R. (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2016)

Newburn H-23 is one of seven deep wells drilled on the Scotian Slope. These wells are new and thus in the early stages of research. As such it is important to determine the history of the detrital and diagenetic minerals ...
Pyrite chemistry and S isotope systematics associated with paragenesis of epithermal-style gold mineralization in the Eastern Cobequid Highlands, Nova Scotia, Canada

Gee, Kali Jolane (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2019)

Within the northeastern Cobequid Highlands (CH), Nova Scotia, Canada recent bedrock mapping and bulk rock geochemistry have identified a potential epithermal Au system. The Warwick Mountain area shows the most potential ...
Quantification of the water content in synthetic glasses and natural melt inclusions using confocal Raman spectroscopy

Dalzell, Connor John (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2017)

The importance of water in controlling magmatic ore-forming processes cannot be understated. To accurately constrain the water content in these systems, the application of confocal 532 nm laser Raman spectroscopy was ...
Quantifying matrix complexity with the calculation of fractal dimensions from GC×GC chromatograms : a potential oil fingerprinting technique

Herrera Vega, Gustavo Felipe (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2019)

Gas chromatograms record molecular patterns according to the spatial separation afforded by the analytical method used and the type of mixture being analyzed. In this respect, the molecular complexity recorded in a gas ...
REE and other minerals in the West Moose River Pluton and associated rocks, Cobequid Highlands, Nova Scotia, and their association with fracturing

Wisen, Joshua (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2015)

The West Moose River pluton consists principally of an A-type granite emplaced immediately north of the Cobequid fault into Avalon terrane rocks in the latest Devonian-Early Carboniferous. Continued strike-slip fault ...
The role of downslope versus alongslope sediment transport over the last glacial cycle on the Scotian Rise

Bentley, Jeremy (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2016)

Little work has been done on the Scotian Rise to identify the mode of sediment transportation. Specifically, identifying to what extent the Western Boundary Undercurrent (WBUC) influences the Scotian Rise and how previous ...
Survey of porewater geochemistry within deep marine hydrocarbon seep sediments of the Scotian Slope, Canada

Nikita, Nikita (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2022-05-27)

The ocean floor surface sediments of the Scotian Slope, Nova Scotia are host to a complex network of microbially mediated reactions that knit together the carbon, sulfur, and nitrogen biogeochemical cycles. Limited ...
Textural and spatial relationship between platinum-group elements and alteration assemblages in the Afton porphyry system, Kamloops, British Columbia

Garagan, Mark Joseph (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2014)

The Afton Cu-Au porphyry system is located near of Kamloops, B.C, Canada, and contains significant platinum-group element (PGE) enrichment. The alteration assemblages at Afton are consistent with a typical porphyry systems ...
Unconventional hydrocarbons in abiogenic Archean crystalline rocks : insight into ancient fluid chemistry in the Lupin Gold Deposit, Nunavut, Canada

Meagher, Daniel (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2016)

Archean gold-bearing quartz veins at the Lupin mine occur in amphibolitic iron-formation in a deformed metaturbidite sequence. Stable isotope, fluid inclusion microthermometry, gas chromatography, laser ablation IC-PMS, ...
Variation in style of overpressure in Scotian Shelf wells, Scotian Basin

White, Dillon (Saint Mary's University (Halifax, N.S.), 2014)

Overpressure is a phenomenon where pressures greatly exceed normal hydrostatic pressure and occurs in many wells within the Scotian Basin. Due to this area being actively explored for oil and gas over the last five decades, ...
