Middle Cambrian linguliformean brachiopods of the Pika and Sullivan formations, southern Canadian Rocky Mountains, Alberta, Canada
… Pika and Sullivan formations in the southern Canadian Rocky Mountains. These formations consist of coarse-grained grainstone interbedded with lime mudstones and siltstones in a storm-influenced, distal offshore setting. Grainstone and rudstone beds record high-energy events such as storms and …

Geochemistry and Basin Analysis of Laramide Rocky Mountain Basins
The Laramide Rocky Mountains in western U.S.A is an important topographic feature in the continental interior, yet its formation and evolution are poorly constrained. This study uses the oxygen and strontium isotope geochemistry of freshwater bivalve fossils from six Laramide basins in order to …

Modelling Palaeohydrological Controls in Postglacial Mountain Drainage Basins
… factor in the formation of the landscape of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Modelling of basin scale hydrology in glaciated mountain regions, including the associated morphology and sedimentology, has not previously been undertaken. The present study investigates drainage basin hydrology for the …

Variations in Water Storage Capacity of a Mountain Peatland with Complex Stratigraphy
Peatlands in the Rocky Mountains most commonly occur in valley bottoms and are classified as fens. Understanding how fens influence water storage and water release is essential for better predicting water availability as the climate changes. Peatlands located in mountain regions tend to have a …

ECOHYDROLOGICAL MODELING OF BEAVER DAMS
… of the montane peatland of Sibbald Fen in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, I determined that flow state changes of beaver dams are dynamic on a much shorter scale than previously documented. The shifts from one flow state to another happen regularly, have limited synchronicity within dam …

Seismic characterization of geothermal reservoirs by application of the common-reflection-surface stack method and attribute analysis
… sedimentary basin on the eastern edge of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. In the second application, a 3D seismic volume is characterized in the surroundings of a geothermal borehole, located in the central part of the Polish basin. Both sites were investigated with the modified and improved …

Nature Unsettled: the making of the wilderness imaginary and the Canadian settler state
… resource industries to the national economy, Canadians hold their national parks—as spaces of untouched nature—in high regard as a key aspect of national pride and identity. By critically investigating the cultural framing of nature in Canada as contextualized within the structure of settler …

Progressive deformation, fluid flow and water-rock interaction in the Mexican Fold-Thrust Belt, Central Mexico
… MFTB and the fold-thrust belt in the southern Canadian Rocky Mountains, which is characterized by large thrust sheets and relatively few buckle folds. Structural observations on the mesoscopic scale allow distinguishing veins (dominantly calcite) of several generations, emplaced early, during …

Multi-Scale Modelling of Cold Regions Hydrology
… these themes, a new modelling framework, the Canadian Hydrological Model (CHM), is presented. Key design goals for CHM include the ability to: capture spatial heterogeneity in an efficient manner, include multiple process representations, be able to change, remove, and decouple hydrological …
