Simon Fraser University Library Burnaby, BC, Canada ABSTRACT As a theoretical concept, the ice-free corridor has given researchers a recognizable route for the Late Wisconsinan human colonization of the Americas. This dissertation re- examines that potential role by critically assessing plant and animal remains radiocarbon dated to between 9000 B.P. and 20000 B.P. To meet its theorized role as a north-to- south Late Wisconsinan human migration route the corridor must fulfill two criteria: 1. that eastern Beringia could have supported human populations before Clovis appeared (- 11500 B.P.) south of the ice sheets, and 2. that evidence from the corridor area shows that it was a biogeographic corridor capable of supporting human life. To fulfill these criteria 600 published radiocarbon dates were assessed for their reliability. This original number was reduced to 293 radiocarbon dates. The remaining dates were divided into four temporal periods and plotted spatially. Environmental inferences were determined from these distributions. The results support the first criterion: eastern Beringia could support human populations before Clovis. However, the results did not support the second criterion, and there is no evidence that a biogeographic comdor existed prior to 11500 BP. It was concluded that the ice-free corridor could not have been used as a north-to-south human migration route during the Late Wisconsinan. Therefore, other alternatives must now be considered to account for the arrival of Paleoindian cultures in southern North America.

    2009-2013 Jasper National Park Caribou Progress Report Lalenia Neufeld Mark Bradley Saakje Hazenberg With contributions from: John Wilmshurst Shelley Bird Colleen Arnison Amy Flasko Executive Summary Woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) range throughout North America has retracted northward and many populations across Canada are in decline. The Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada has defined Canadian populations as Endangered (Atlantic- Gaspésie), Threatened (Southern Mountain and Boreal), Special Concern (Northern Mountain), and Not at Risk (Newfoundland) (Thomas and Gray 2002). Woodland caribou in Jasper National Park belong to the Threatened Southern Mountain Population. Phase I of the Jasper Woodland Caribou Recovery Action Plan was implemented in 2005. Its larger goals were to increase awareness of woodland caribou and recommend a suite of actions to mitigate factors contributing to caribou decline. Implementation of recovery actions began in the 2005-2006 fiscal year, shortly after the Plan was signed by Parks Canada. In 2007, as a follow-up to the Action Plan, the Mountain Parks Caribou Coordinating Committee initiated development of a Conservation Strategy for caribou in the mountain national parks. The strategy is intended to contribute towards meeting Parks Canada’s obligations under Canada's National Parks Act and the Species at Risk Act. Key direction for caribou recovery and sustainability, which is aligned with Parks Canada’s mandate of ecological integrity, public education, and visitor experience, is being formulated with the incorporation of the results from the public and Aboriginal consultations recently completed into the management plan. Required knowledge for informed management relies on the caribou monitoring program, the results of which are reported herein.

The definition of wetlands accepted by the Committee is: "Wetlands are areas of seasonally, intermittently or permanently waterlogged soils or inundated land whether natural or otherwise, fresh or saline, eg, waterlogged soils, ponds, billabongs, lakes, swamps, tidal flats, estuaries, rivers and their tributaries". Over the past years, the Committee has been collecting relevant information on Western Australian rivers, swamps and lakes. It became clear that a great deal of information exists (much in unpublished form), and many on-going research projects on various aspects of wetlands are being undertaken. It was, therefore, decided that an inventory of this research, including a listing of departments or institutions involved, major personnel, the nature of the research project and the location, could assist in the co-ordination of the various investigations and would make information more accessible.

    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Loren G. Davis for the degree of Master of Arts inInterdisciplinary Studies in Anthropology Geography and Soil Science, presented on May 18,1995. Title: Volcanism, Climate Change. and Prehistoric CulturalSuccession in Southern Washington and North-Central Idaho. Abstract approved: /; David R. Brauner The cultural influence of volcanic eruptions has beenemphasized in the archaeological literature. However, the largereffects that Mount St. Helens volcanic eruptions had upon prehistoricpopulations in the Pacific Northwest is not understood. This thesis asks questionsof the archaeological and paleoenvironmental record of the PacificNorthwest to assess the degree of influence Late Pleistocene and Holocene volcaniceruptions of Mount St. Helens had upon the cultural record of human existencein southern Washington and north-central Idaho. The record of eruptiveactivity at Mount St. Helens is reviewed and its tephra lobesmapped from reports of pyroclastic identification in the Pacific Northwest and westernCanada, to gain a temporal and spatial understanding of the eruptions.A general systemic model is presented to identify the factorsresponsible for the deposition, removal and alteration of tephra. Thismodel illustrates the complexity of tephrostratigraphic deposition, and increasesthe awareness of its residence within archaeological sites. Several setsof paleoenvironmental data are correlated with archaeological records ofhuman occupation in southern Washington and north-central Idaho,including records of pollen fluctuation,
