Subsurface Geology and Mid-Continent Rift Intrusions of Chippewa County, WI
(2015-04)
The Precambrian geology of Chippewa County, WI is incredibly diverse but exposure is limited to
weathered outcrops along streams. The purpose of this study was to better understand the subsurface geology, ~600 meters of ...
Potential for Komatiite-Hosted Nickel-Copper Mineralization in the Eastern Part of the Shebandowan Greenstone Belt, Ontario, Canada
(2018-01-02)
Our research focuses on geochemical and textural evidence of interactions between Archean komatiites and silicic sedimentary rocks near Thunder Bay, Ontario, and exploring the potential for Nickel-Copper-Platinum Group ...
Geology the Eisenbrey Zn-Cu-Pb Deposit, Rusk County, WI
(2017-03-20)
The primary objective of this project is to complete a geochemical and petrographic study of the poorly understood Zn-Pb-Cu mineralization of the
Eisenbrey deposit hosted in Precambrian volcanic assemblages (DeMatties, ...
Geophysical Investigation of Bedrock Depth at the WRR Superfund Site in Eau Claire, WI
(2014-04)
Near-surface geophysical methods can provide valuable information for understanding the stratigraphy of sites with groundwater contamination. In this study, geophysical data were acquired to delineate the soil-bedrock ...
2.7 Billion Year Old Mt. St. Helens of Northern Minnesota : Petrography and Geochemistry of the Neoarchean Gafvert Lake Sequence
(2014-04)
The Gafvert Lake sequence comprises part of the Vermilion District in the Wawa-Abitibi Terrane in northeastern Minnesota and is located in Minnesota's newest state park, Lake Vermilion State Park. The Neoachean Gafvert ...
Mapping the Precambrian Bedrock Geology of Rusk County, Wisconsin
(2017-03-09)
The primary objective of this project is to create a new regional geologic map of Rusk County, Wisconsin, highlighting the characteristics of the Precambrian bedrock hosting the past-producing Flambeau Cu-Au mine and various ...
Evolution of the Manantiales Basin : Miocene Orogenic Patterns in the South-Central Andes
(2018-02-22)
This study of the Manantiales Basin is in conjunction with a larger study of multiple basins in the south-central Andes. The basin has been interpreted as a Miocene foreland basin devoloped in response to Miocene deformation ...
A LabVIEW Program for Controlling Pressure and Temperature in Rapid-Quench Cold-Seal Experimental Apparatus
(2014-04)
The purpose of this study was to conduct experiments pertaining to rapid-quench cold-seal pressure vessels. They are ideal for conducting experiments at conditions relevant to the Earth's upper crust. Rapid quenches are ...
Komatiite-Hosted Nickel-Copper Mineralization Potential in the Eastern Shebandowan Greenstone Belt, Ontario, Canada
(2018-05)
Our research focuses on geochemical and textural evidence of interactions between Archean komatiites and silicic sedimentary rocks near Thunder Bay, Ontario, and exploring the potential for Nickel-Copper-Platinum Group ...
Three-Dimensional Modeling and Reconstruction of the Crandon Volcanogenic Massive Sulfide Deposit, Northeastern Wisconsin
(2018-05)
The goal of this research project is to determine the petrogenesis of the stratigraphy hosting the Crandon Cu-Zn volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposit. Research material (core, documents, etc.), conducted by Exxon ...
