  • Structural Control of the Morphometry of Open Rock Basins, Kananaskis Region, Canadian Rocky Mountains
    5" %~ '.5" :7~, 6[mU ELSEVIER Geomorphology 22 (1998) 313-324 Structural control of the morphometry of open rock basins, Kananaskis region, Canadian Rocky Mountains D.J. Sauchyn a,*, D.M. Cruden b, X.Q. Hu c,1 a Department of Geography, University of Regina, Regina, Saskatchewan $4S OA2, Canada b Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta T6G 2G7, Canada c Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta T6G 2E3, Canada Received 12 September 1996; revised 18 July 1997; accepted 14 August 1997 Abstract The morphometry of chutes (couloirs), rock funnels, and open cirques are related to the structure of dissected rock masses in the Kananaslds region of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Data for ten morphometric variables were derived from digital elevation models of 56 open rock basins. The basins were classified structurally according to the relative orientations of bedding planes and the rock slopes. A hypothesis of no differences in morphometry among structural classes is rejected from the results of nonparametric analysis of variance and paired comparisons of rank scores. Basins on dip and overdip slopes have a distinct :size, and those on anaclinal slopes have a distinct width and shape. Variation in morphometry from low compactness and area/relief (chutes) to high compactness and low area/relief (funnels) to high compactness and area/relief (open cirques) corresponds to a change in dominant structure from orthoclinal to dip-overdip to underdip to anaclinal. The dip of bedding planes relative to the slope of rockwalls controls the mode of initial displacement of joint blocks and, thereby, the spatial distribution of the retreat of rockwalls.

  • Highway 40 South of Kananaskis Lakes - Epicentre of the Storm
    Highway 40 South of Kananaskis Lakes - Epicentre of the Storm By: Des Kernahan, P. Eng. Senior Transportation Engineer Associated Engineering and Erin Rooney, P. Biol. Biologist/Regional Manager Summit Environmental Consultants, Inc. Paper prepared for presentation at the Emergency Repair and Construction of Transportation Infrastructure Damaged by Catastrophic Environmental Events session of the 2014 Conference of the Transportation Association of Canada Montreal, Quebec 0 Abstract The 2013 floods brought enormous changes to the natural and man-made landscapes in many parts of southern Alberta. Associated Engineering was hired by Alberta Transportation to coordinate, prioritize and determine site specific strategies for repairing a 55 km stretch of Highway 40 south of Kananaskis Lakes, southwest of Calgary, Alberta. This section of highway traverses the Highwood Pass, the highest paved road in Canada, and is located adjacent to the headwaters of the Highwood River. This was the epicentre of the June 19 to 22, 2013 rainfall event, where over 325 mm fell, and was the origin for the flood damage and devastation that travelled downstream through numerous communities, including High River. A total of 117 distinct sites with flood damage were identified, including debris flows across the highway, washouts, culvert blockages, erosional scours, and hydrological changes that carved new channels where they had never existed prior to June 2013. Each site was triaged into one of four categories, which were defined as follows: Stage 1 – required to provide access for construction operations; Stage 2 – required to open the highway to the public; Stage 3 – work off the road surface required to fully restore the highway cross-section; and Stage 4 – major works requiring substantial engineering design effort.

  • Your Seasonal Perspective of Bragg Creek and Kananaskis
    Viewpoint Sally Quon Your Seasonal Perspective of Bragg Creek and Kananaskis In the wild, sometimes a simple change in perspective is all that’s required to make one appreciate the magnitude and variety of our surroundings. Even for the seasoned hiker on a well-trodden trail, a glance up can often bring to light a wondrous vista previously unseen. Of course you don’t want to look skyward the whole time: closer to the ground, curious critters are found everywhere. Meissa Fitzmorris 7 Randy Pohl Every lake is fed by countless tributaries of varying sizes. Next time you’re hiking around a lake and cross a stream running into it, take a few minutes to explore a Sarah Love little upstream and see what is revealed. A good many of these streams expand into small bodies of water due to natural dams. This small pool that runs into Upper Kananaskis Lake (above) provides the opportunity to enjoy and explore the incredible colour of the lake via a unique viewpoint. Examples of this visual priority interchange of a lake and its tributaries are limitless and accessible by any level of hiker, just by exploring a few steps up or 8 downstream of the beaten path. Jim Campbell This spread, clockwise from bottom left: yes, this is what you think it is; a unique view, (top left) contrasting with a more traditional view, (top right) of the spectacular Upper Kananaskis Lake; Mount Kidd above its pristine reflection; a family day out for some Canadian Geese.

  • Structural Relationships Between the Exshaw Thrust and Heart Mountain
    STRUCTURAL RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THE EXSHAW THRUST AND HEART MOUNTAIN SYNCLINE EXSHAW, ALBERTA STRUCTURAL RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THE EXSHAW THRUST AND HEART MOUNTAIN SYNCLINE EXSHAW, ALBERTA By ERIC MICHAEL LEGRESLEY A Thesis Submitted to the Department of Geology in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Honours Bachelor of Science McMASTER UNIVERSITY April, 1982 HONOURS BACHELOR OF SCIENCE (1982) McMASTER UNIVERSITY (Geology) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Structural Relationships between the Exshaw Thrust and Heart Mountain syncline, Exshaw, Alberta AUTHOR: Eric Michael LeGresley SUPERVISOR: Dr. P. M. Clifford NUMBER OF PAGES: xiv, 127 ii ABSTRACT Displacement transfer between faults and folds has been extensively documented in the Rocky Mountains as an explanation for structural variability along strike producing seemingly similar overall shortenings. A series of sub­ parallel imbricate thrusts and an associated syncline in the Southern Canadian Front ~anges at Heart ~ountain has been mapped at a scale of 1:16,667. Megascopic, mesoscopic and microscopic evidence supports the contention that the fold­ ing observed at Heart Mountain occurred synchronously with thrusting as the result of displacement transfer from the adjacent thrust. Numerical dynamic analyses (NDA) suggest that twin­ ning of calcite grains occurred very early in the deforma­ tional history in response to a regional stress field orientation of 246/03, 340/02, and 159/84 for o 1 , o 2 , and 03 respectively in the Exshaw plate. Megascopic and rneso­ scopic fabrics indicate similar results. Ambiguous NDA results for the Heart Mountain Syncline are explained using neutral surface folding theories rather than flexural slip theories generally proposed for folding within the Front Ranges.
