Archaeological study of Indigenous pasts has been characterized by a focus on objects over people. This study attempts to humanize the past by illuminating human agency in the human-dog relationship through a case study of dog health and diet during the Late Ceramic period (ca. …

Prior studies of groundwater systems have associated increasing salinity and anoxic conditions with increasing radium (Ra) activities in water due to the decreasing effectiveness of Ra removal processes. However, the components of salinity (e.g. Ca vs. Na and SO42- vs. Cl-domina…
The issue of granite petrogenesis plays a key role in our overall understanding of the growth and differentiation of continents, as well as in our ability to unravel the tectonic histories of orogenic belts. Granites are ubiquitous magmatic products found in almost all tectonic …
Dynamics of δ34S and Δ 33S of oceanic sulfate and sedimentary pyrite over geologic time has been used to understand and extract information about the marine sulfur cycle. My Ph.D project uses this approach to study the evolution of the marine sulfur cycle and focuses on: •Provid…
In this study a multiproxy approach (including sedimentary techniques, diatoms, molluscs, foraminifera, sedimentary pigments, isotopes, pollen and plant macrofossils) has been adopted to assess environmental change over the last ~9,000 years at three Danish coastal sites (Kilen,…
The contamination of groundwater by naturally occurring arsenic (As) in South and South East Asia has resulted in the exposure of an estimated 100 million people to hazardously high concentrations of this known carcinogen. Whilst the biogeochemical processes and mechanisms respo…
This study's goal was to identify specific dietary, seasonal, and geographic aspects of sheep and goat herding practices during the earliest period of animal husbandry. The earliest integrated agro-pastoral economies in southwest Asia emerged in the upper Euphrates-Tigris basin.…
The Wadi Watir delta is a tourist area in the arid southeastern part of the Sinai Peninsula, Egypt, where development and growth of the community is constrained by the amount of groundwater that can be withdrawn sustainably. To effectively manage groundwater resources in the Wad…
Afgan el dokuması halı ve kilimleri, yüzlerce yıldır Afgan sanatının ve kültürünün sembolü olarak bilinmektedir. Binlerce yıllık bir geçmişe sahip olan bu ürün üretim, tasarım, kalite, istihdam yaratma potansiyeli ve döviz girdisi sağlama gibi özellikleriyle ekonomide ve özellik…
Low porosity and permeability organic-rich sedimentary rocks categorized as “unconventional reservoirs” comprise significant global hydrocarbon reserves. Characterizing unconventional materials is challenging, as pores are often less than 100 nm equivalent circular diameter. Add…
The ability to recognize molecular processes using novel imaging techniques is crucial for medicine, biology and biochemistry. A widely used technique is magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The signal to noise ratio of the measured data is proportional to the polarization of a giv…
The Nanaimo Group of southwestern British Columbia has been the source of significant scientific interest due to its relationship with the Baja British Columbia (Baja BC) hypothesis -- the idea that the Nanaimo Group, along with much of western British Columbia, was originally l…
