    Th« Varsity Outdoor Ckh Journal VOLUME XIV 1971 The VmvetAihj of 3titttA Cdumka Vancouver, Canada PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE During the past year, I have sometimes "been asked "Just what is the Varsity Outdoor Club?" Believe me, it was not an easy question to answer; Waffling, I would reply, "The V.O.C. is special­ ized groups such as rock climbers, ski-tourers, snowshoers, canoeists, downhill-skiers, and moun­ taineers, each with its own Ideals and codes. It is the broad, nebulous group of hikers and skiers who like to do a "bit of everything11. Above all, it is people who like to have fun, whether in a Crestline during a blizzard, huddled around the fireplace at Whistler, or Salty-Dogging it at a party. This is the common tie that binds us to­ gether as V.O.C.ers." This year, the Club has been engaged in num­ erous controversies. The relative merits of hut- building, trailbuilding and increasing membership were questioned. The liquor rule was debated ad infinitum and generated much feeling. The cul­ mination of the debate in a vote twice in one year shows how key the alcohol question really is. The cabin, as always, was also a major source of controversy. The coherent, logical, and well- informed discussion of these problems is the sure sign of a healthy club. These issues are Impor­ tant and it is fundamental that they be discussed as much and by as wide a cross-section of members as possible. It is only in this way that the changes that do occur will be in the best interest of the V.O.C.

  • Favourability Map of British Columbia Geothermal Resources
    Favourability Map of British Columbia Geothermal Resources by Sarah Kimball A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIRMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF APPLIED SCIENCE in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Mining Engineering) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) September, 2010 © Sarah Kimball, 2010 Abstract British Columbia‟s internal demand for power and demand from export operations is increasing the need for power generation in the province. Moreover, the transition to a low carbon economy stipulates that power supply must be from renewable and low emission sources. Geothermal energy offers significant benefits to British Columbia which hosts Canada‟s best geothermal resources associated with the Pacific Ring of Fire along the Coast Mountain Range. The objective of this work was to visualize and compare the spatial distribution of geothermal resources, transmission infrastructure, and power markets in BC. Using ArcGIS, these factors were combined into a map identifying the most favourable regions for geothermal development in the province. Multi- criteria evaluation of 10 evidence layers was completed in a knowledge-driven model. Publicly available data for temperature gradient, heat flow, volcanic centers, geothermometry, hot springs, geology, faults, and earthquake indicators comprised the resource factor map. Evidence layers in the market and infrastructure factor map included: distance to transmission, regional pricing, and population density. Evidence layers were assigned weights based on a judgment of their importance to geothermal favourability using the Analytical Hierarchy Process. The favourability map builds on the 1992 Geothermal Resources Map of British Columbia by incorporating new data, and applying spatial buffers based on studies from producing geothermal fields from around the world.

Sobel External Examiner Professor Department of Sociology and Anthropology Missouri State University Date Defended/Approved: September 26, 2018 ii Abstract Archaeological studies of territory, tenure, and territoriality seek to understand how past claims and access to land and resources were expressed across landscapes and through time. The foci of such studies include the spatial and temporal patterning of settlements, dwellings, conspicuous burials, monumental constructions, rock art, defensive features, and resources. In line with this research, this dissertation integrates ethnohistoric and archaeological data in three case studies that investigate the roles of house forms, the distribution of local and nonlocal obsidian, and the positioning of defensive networks in communicating territorial and tenurial interests among the ancestral Coast Salish of southwestern British Columbia and northwestern Washington state.
