    CASCADES BUTTERFLY PROJECT NORTH CASCADES NATIONAL PARK RESOURCE BRIEF - 2011 Cascades Butterfly Project Climate change is expected to affect mountain ecosystems in many ways. Scientists predict that warmer summers may result in earlier snowmelt, more frequent forest fires, and changes in distributions of plants and animals.

All rights reserved. i West Coast Environmental Law Design Basis for the Living Dike Concept EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Background West Coast Environmental Law (WCEL) is leading an initiative to explore the implementation of a coastal flood protection system that also protects and enhances existing and future coastal and aquatic ecosystems. The purpose of this document is to summarize available experience and provide an initial technical basis to define how this objective might be realized. This “Living Dike” concept is intended as a best practice measure to meet this balanced objective in response to rising sea levels in a changing climate. It is well known that coastal wetlands and marshes provide considerable protection against storm surge and related wave effects when hurricanes or severe storms come ashore. Studies have also shown that salt marshes in front of coastal sea dikes can reduce the nearshore wave heights by as much as 40 percent. This reduction of the sea state in front of a dike reduces the required crest elevation and volumes of material in the dike, potentially lowering the total cost of a suitable dike by approximately 30 percent. In most cases, existing investigations and studies consider the relative merits of wetlands and marshes for a more or less static sea level, which may include an allowance for future sea level rise.

  • Helmy Beckey, 1925 – 2019 Helmut Fritz Beckey, Known As Helmy, Was Born in Seattle and Died in Munich, Germany, at Age 93
    AAC Publications Helmy Beckey, 1925 – 2019 Helmut Fritz Beckey, known as Helmy, was born in Seattle and died in Munich, Germany, at age 93. In his youth, he established first ascents and new routes throughout the Cascades and elsewhere. Helmy learned the basics of climbing as a member of the Mountaineers, where his aptitude was recognized early. In 1940, he and his brother Fred, who was two years older, made two extensive excursions into the Picket Range. The teenagers climbed the west ridge of Mt. Thompson and made the first ascents of Forbidden Peak, Phantom Peak, Whatcom Peak, Mt. Challenger, Crooked Thumb, Luna Peak, Mt. Fury’s East Peak, McMillan Spire’s West Spire, and Inspiration Peak. In 1941, along with the numerous first ascents and new routes in the North Cascades he did with Fred, Helmy joined Lloyd Anderson, Lyman Boyer, and Tom Campbell in the Bugaboos of British Columbia, where they completed the first ascent of the South Tower of Howser Spire. In the summer of 1942, Helmy and Fred embarked on a six-week expedition into the Coast Mountains of British Columbia. Here, the teenage brothers famously climbed the remote and challenging Mt. Waddington. It was only the second ascent of the peak, which had repelled a multitude of summit attempts. Fred Beckey wrote in the 1943 AAJ about the descent: “Helmy was hit on the knee by one of a flurry of rocks that sped down the mountain side. All hope of reaching camp that night was gone because of a heavily bleeding cut. This was Helmy’s 17th birthday present, donated by Mt.

  • Skagit - Ferc Project #553
    SKAGIT - FERC PROJECT #553 EROSION CONTROL PROGRAM 2005 COMPLETION REPORT North Cascades National Park and Seattle City Light March, 2006 1 INTRODUCTION As stipulated in the 1991 Erosion Control Settlement Agreement (SA) between the National Park Service (NPS) and Seattle City Light (SCL), erosion control activities in Ross Lake National Recreation Area (NRA) continued for a twelfth year (including pre-license work). NPS crews, funded by SCL, conducted work at several sites in 2005 (Figure 1). Activity this year focused on contingency cribbing site E70A-6B, twenty yards south of E70A-6 on Ross Lake. In addition, site D-11, Thunder Point Campground on Diablo Lake was undertaken and completed. Detailed accounting of expenditures is provided in other reports and is not duplicated here. The purpose of this report is to update the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) on progress under the terms of the new operating license for the Skagit Project. PROGRESS REPORTS BY PROJECT SITE D-11, Diablo Lake: Thunder Point Campground Approximately 250 ft of shoreline fronting the campground had become severely eroded. NPS erosion control crews in coordination with Seattle City Light barge, tug and boat crew imported 23 dump truck loads of building rock and one hundred yards of gravel. As per settlement agreement erosion control design, dry lay rock wall was installed to a height of 5’ along the 250’ of shoreline. Upon completion of dry wall, armor rock placed along the toe for the entire span. On the southwest end of the site, an additional 60’ of eroded shoreline was protected by half burying stumps in the drawdown and locking in drift logs in between the buried stumps and the shoreline creating a wave energy break.

Umhoefer Departmentof Geology,Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff Robert B. Miller Departmentof Geology, San JoseState University, San Jose,California Abstract. A major thrust systemof mid-Cretaceousage Introduction is presentalong much of the Coast Belt of northwestern. The Coast Belt in the northwestern Cordillera of North North America. Thrusting was concurrent,and spatially America containsthe roots of the largest Mesozoic mag- coincided,with emplacementof a great volume of arc intrusives and minor local strike-slip faulting. In the maticarc in North America, which is cut by a mid-Creta- southernCoast Belt (52ø to 47øN), thrusting was followed ceous,synmagmatic thrust system over muchof its length by major dextral-slipfaulting, which resultedin significant (Figure 1) [Rubin et al., 1990]. This thrust systemis translationalshuffling of the thrust system. In this paper, especiallywell definedin SE Alaska [Brew et al., 1989; Rubin et al., 1990; Gehrels et al., 1992; Haeussler, 1992; we restorethe displacementson major dextral-slipfaults of the southernCoast Belt and then analyze the mid-Creta- McClelland et al., 1992; Rubin and Saleeby,1992] and the southern Coast Belt of SW British Columbia and NW ceousthrust system.
