Conservation Magazine • FaLL/Winter 2010 3 From the Editor A balanced approach. hat was the direction given to the writer for The Grizzly Truth: Uncovering the Facts. After endless conversations with scientists, conservationists and stakeholders about the designation of the grizzly bear as Threatened, we had mountains of data, varying opinions and emotions to distill, so we could present tyou with an honest and accurate look at the situation surrounding Alberta’s most-talked-about species. In this issue we examine the status of the grizzly bear without dwelling on the overwhelming statistics. Our hope is to invoke discussions, inspire further reading and even greater – motivate change. The truth is that the Threatened designation doesn’t change anything for this majestic giant until we address land use and access challenges. Alberta’s total population as of April 1, 2010 was estimated to be 3,724,832, with an estimated population growth of between 4.7 to 7.6 million by 2050. Alberta’s wild species and spaces are getting crowded out as demands for more communities, roads, seismic lines, malls and urban sprawl ensue. To put it into perspective, a grizzly bear requires up to 4,500 square kilometres of habitat, which is equivalent to a little less than half of the size of Jasper National Park, or 6.7 times the size of the City of Edmonton. Alberta is 661,185 square kilometres. Albertans have some hard choices to make. Are you willing to alter your behaviour to aid in the recovery of the grizzly bear? We’d love to find out. Take the Grizzly Truth survey at www.ab-conservation.com. Survey results are live, so it’s the perfect opportunity to show the world who we are. Take a look at this photo of my nephews, Thomas and Lucas, and when you take the survey think of your own children or grandchildren…our future generations. And while this focus on the grizzly bear is timely, there are other species that we need to be concerned about too. Woodland caribou, bull trout and northern leopard frog are all facing similar access and development issues. Hearing a moose call or witnessing its warm breath hang in the crisp autumn air, watching ducks fly in V formation during the spring and fall migration, or catching that extraordinary glimpse of a grizzly bear...these are wonders to respect, conserve and treasure. — Editor-in-Chief, Lisa Monsees Population data courtesy of the Government of Alberta Finance and Enterprise.

  • The Dinosaur Park - Bearpaw Formation Transition in the Cypress Hills Region of Southwestern Saskatchewan, Canada Meagan M
    The Dinosaur Park - Bearpaw Formation Transition in the Cypress Hills Region of Southwestern Saskatchewan, Canada Meagan M. Gilbert Department of Geological Sciences, University of Saskatchewan; [email protected] Summary The Upper Cretaceous Dinosaur Park Formation (DPF) is a south- and eastward-thinning fluvial to marginal marine clastic-wedge in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. The DPF is overlain by the Bearpaw Formation (BF), a fully marine clastic succession representing the final major transgression of the epicontinental Western Interior Seaway (WIS) across western North America. In southwestern Saskatchewan, the DPF is comprised of marginal marine coal, carbonaceous shale, and heterolithic siltstone and sandstone grading vertically into marine sandstone and shale of the Bearpaw Formation. Due to Saskatchewan’s proximity to the paleocoastline, 5th order transgressive cycles resulted in the deposition of multiple coal seams (Lethbridge Coal Zone; LCZ) in the upper two-thirds of the DPF in the study area. The estimated total volume of coal is 48109 m3, with a gas potential of 46109 m3 (Frank, 2005). The focus of this study is to characterize the facies and facies associations of the DPF, the newly erected Manâtakâw Member, and the lower BF in the Cypress Hills region of southwestern Saskatchewan utilizing core, outcrop, and geophysical well log data. This study provides a comprehensive sequence stratigraphic overview of the DPF-BF transition in Saskatchewan and the potential for coalbed methane exploration. Introduction The Dinosaur Park and Bearpaw Formations in Alberta, and its equivalents in Montana, have been the focus of several sedimentologic and stratigraphic studies due to exceptional outcrop exposure and extensive subsurface data (e.g., McLean, 1971; Wood, 1985, 1989; Eberth and Hamblin, 1993; Tsujita, 1995; Catuneanu et al., 1997; Hamblin, 1997; Rogers et al., 2016).
