The chemical compositions of uraninites from five major deposit types (tabular, unconformity, vein, metasomatic, and igneous), measured by electron microprobe and LA-ICP-MS, underline the extreme…
The response in elemental concentrations and Pb isotopes in various surface media from the Cigar West unconformity-type uranium deposit located at a depth of 450 m…
Large earthquakes in stable intraplate regions are rare; they account for only about 5% of the global seismic moment release. However, large intraplate earthquakes do…
We have begun to investigate mid-crustal ductile flow (infrastructure), and its effect on upper crustal (superstructure) deformation style, through centrifuge modelling. Analogue centrifuge models are…
There has been a significant amount of research investigating the relationship between sample disturbance and laboratory test results in soft soils. As a result of…
The Mount Polley mine tailings embankment breach on August 4th, 2014, in British Columbia, Canada, is the second largest mine waste spill on record. The…
Recent curriculum revisions to the geological engineering program at Queen’s University at Kingston in Canada have led to a more streamlined program incorporating modern engineering…
The reduction of CO2 emissions from human activities is urgently required to avoid the most harmful effects of climate change. Engineered strategies that can capture…
Earth’s shallow subsurface, or “critical zone,” is of fundamental importance for supporting terrestrial life and maintaining water quality. An important part of the critical zone…
The fractionation of stable isotopes during chemical reactions has long been recognized as a tool to trace a variety of geologic processes (e.g., evaporation, mineral…
