  • Preliminary Calibration of a Numerical Runout Model for Debris Flows in Southwestern British Columbia
    7th International Conference on Debris-Flow Hazards Mitigation Preliminary calibration of a numerical runout model for debris flows in Southwestern British Columbia Sophia Zubryckya,*, Andrew Mitchella, Jordan Aaronb, Scott McDougalla a Department of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences – University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada bDepartment of Engineering Geology – ETH Zürich, Zürich, Switzerland Abstract Debris-flow hazard and risk assessments require reliable estimates of inundation area, velocity and flow depth to evaluate spatial impact and impact intensity. Semi-empirical numerical runout models that simulate bulk flow behavior with simple rheological models are useful in forecasting these parameters, however, they require calibration by back-analyzing past events. This paper presents the back-analysis of six debris flows in southwestern British Columbia using a novel automated calibration approach that systematically optimizes the Dan3D runout model to fit field observations. The calibration method yielded good simulations of runout length, but under-predicted flow depths in some cases, and over-predicted velocities in all cases. The best-fit Voellmy rheology parameters for the studied cases ranged from 46 to 531 m/s2 for the turbulence coefficient and 0.08 to 0.18 for the friction coefficient. There is a potential inverse correlation between friction coefficient and event volume. Calibrated parameters were compared to morphometric parameters for the study sites, which may be useful for guiding parameter selection once a larger dataset is calibrated. Ongoing work is focused on refining the calibration technique, including standardization of input parameters more relevant to debris flows. The long-term goal is to apply the technique to a larger dataset of debris-flow cases and provide practitioners with better guidance on the selection of model input parameters for forecasting purposes.

  • Cheam Range, Lady Peak, North Face
    AAC Publications Cheam Range, Lady Peak, North Face Canada, British Columbia, North Cascades On May 7, Brette Harrington and Marc-André Leclerc climbed the north face of Lady Peak (2,178m) in the Cheam Range, near Chilliwack. This was likely the first ascent of the face, whose steepest section gains about 500m and is comprised of loose but compact volcanic rock. The two spent 13 hours on the climb, which involved thin ice and technical dry tooling on slabs, often with marginal protection (11 long pitces, 5.8 M4 80°). They topped out at sundown and scrambled to the summit before descending easy slopes to the west. In January 2016, the same pair made the probable first ski descent of the northeast couloir on Lady Peak. – Dougald MacDonald, with information from Marc-André Leclerc The following first-person account of this ascent, by Marc-André Leclerc, unfortunately was received too late for publication in the print edition of AAJ 2018: On May 7, Brette Harrington and I climbed a line, right of center, on the imposing north face of Lady Peak in the Cheam Range, the same range of mountains where I essentially began my true mountaineering apprenticeship, with an ascent of Welch Peak, at 11 years old. The area is well known for very loose rock, and the more technical routes are often done in winter or spring as frozen mixed routes. The north face of Lady Peak is the steepest in the range and could be considered the last major face in the range to be climbed, as the unclimbed north face of the Still, while appealing, is quite small in comparison.

This year was a good one for the V.O.C. We have seen our membership grow to a recent high of over 250. For many, the club has opened up a whole new world of adventure and challenge. For others, the club has continued to be a central part of their lives adding new memories and aspirations. The success of our club has always been in the strength of our active members. This year, again, active members gave their time unselfishly to such things as leading trips, cabin committee meetings and social functions, not to mention many others. It is these people I would like to thank most for making my job, as President, that much more enjoyable. For those of you who have participated in club activities for the first time, I urge you to take an active part in helping to run the club. I am sure you will find that the rewards far exceed the time and effort involved. As a club whose major interests lie in the outdoors, I feel we as a membership have helped people become more aware of what is beyond the campus of U.B.C. British Columbia offers a wealth of wilderness which is accessible to everyone. It is important that as a club we continue to pass on our knowledge about outdoor activities and wilderness areas.

  • Lawyers in the History of British Columbia Mountaineering
    LET THE SKY FALL: LAWYERS IN THE HISTORY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA MOUNTAINEERING PART II – THE MOUNTAINEERS By David Crerar, Anders Ourom and Harry Crerar* Part I of this article “The Mountains” appeared in (2017) 75 Advocate 75. It detailed the topography of British Columbia that owes so much to the legal his- tory of this province. art II of this article focuses on the mountaineers: judges and lawyers who have at least given mountaineering, climbing, scrambling or backcountry skiing a try. We will avoid the ques- tion as to “what is a mountaineer?” To paraphrase a famous Premark by a judge with regard to obscenity, we know one when we see one. Of course, many may dabble, but few (so to speak) are called to a lifetime avocation in the mountains. JURIST MOUNTAINEERS Sir Matthew Baillie Begbie The assizes and circuits of Chief Justice Sir Matthew Baillie Begbie (1819 Mauritius–1894 Victoria) put him among the greatest adventurers in British Columbia history. His first assize, in March 1859, took him from New West- minster to the gold fields of Yale and beyond, up the Fraser Canyon. Trav- elling on foot, Begbie’s four-man party went from Yale to Spuzzum, crossed the Fraser at Chapman’s Bar to the east bank, and followed the Hudson’s * The authors wish to thank the following for their assistance with this article: Daien Ide and Janet Turner (North Vancouver Museum and Archives), Bernice Chong and Jacquie Reagh (the Law Society of British Columbia Archives), Carla Jack (Provincial Toponymist, B.C.
