Feature Identification
(University of Waterloo, 2020-08-04)We present several methods for identifying time periods of interest (features) in a wide range of data sets. The gamma method is a computationally inexpensive, flexible feature identification method which uses a comparison ... -
Feature identification in time series data sets
(Elsevier, 2019-05)We present a computationally inexpensive, flexible feature identification method which uses a comparison of time series to identify a rank-ordered set of features in geophysically-sourced data sets. Many physical phenomena ... -
Fingerprinting and tracing the signature of basement-hosted unconformity-type uranium alteration through thick Quaternary tills: an example from the Thelon Basin, Nunavut
(University of Waterloo, 2016-05-17)The question of whether or not it is possible to trace the signature of alteration haloes surrounding deep-seated unconformity-type U mineralization through thick Quaternary tills is one of great importance for those ... -
Genesis and hydrological function of an African mire: understanding the role of peatlands in providing ecosystem services in semi-arid climates
(University of Waterloo, 2015-01-06)The effects of changes in climate or landscape on wetland ecosystems in drier regions need to be considered within the context of natural processes. Hydrological processes are a key component in the development and maintenance ... -
A Geochemical Study of the Mineralization at the Hopper Property, Yukon: A Case Study of an Atypical Copper Occurrence
(University of Waterloo, 2010-07-19)The Hopper property is located in the Yukon Tanana terrane in the southwestern Yukon. It is characterized by granodiorite-hosted copper and molybdenum mineralization that is related to propylitic alteration and shearing. ... -
Hydrothermal Alteration and Exploration Vectors at the Island Gold Deposit, Michipicoten greenstone belt, Wawa, Ontario
(University of Waterloo, 2019-05-01)The Island Gold deposit is a high-grade orogenic gold deposit located in the Goudreau Lake Deformation Zone (GLDZ), within the Michipicoten greenstone belt. This belt is situated within the larger Wawa-Abitibi terrane which ... -
Learning about Ontario's Paleozoic Geology with Virtual Reality Google Expedition Tours
(2020-02)How well can you interpret or place into context the different geological features or rock types that are exposed along roadways, rivers, coastlines or construction sites? Here in the Department of Earth and Environmental ... -
PETROLOGY, TECTONIC SETTING, AND REGIONAL IMPLICATIONS OF THE OPHIOLITIC LIUYUAN COMPLEX, NW CHINA
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-03)Located along the southern margin of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB), the mafic 290-280 Ma Liuyuan Complex stratigraphy and tectonic setting have been controversial for decades. Here, the results of a detailed field ... -
Unsettling Ground: Studies on Building and Fluid Geology in Arviat, Nunavut
(University of Waterloo, 2019-04-26)Ground in the Canadian Arctic is continuously being shaped by the dramatic seasonal cycles of the environment, extreme weather and deep geological processes of glaciation and retreat. The stability of Northern ground is ...
