Theses Relevant to Oil and Gas Exploration in Canada
In the past, Len Hills has done an admirable job in preparing complete listings of these Theses. The last list was prepared in 1988 (Bull.of Canadian Petroleum Geology, Vol 37, No 4 Dec 1989, pp. 475-478).
Creating an updated list would be a lengthy project. The attached list is an attempt to make it easier for all Geologists to track down relevant Theses. Initially, the list has been populated with CSPG "Thesis Award Winners" and "Honorable Mentions" of the past ten years. Any Thesis Author, Supervisor or interested party can add to this list by submitting relevant thesis information to Geo-Help.
Theses are listed Geographically (East to West and South to North across Canada), and by Formation.
