Wildlife Information for Commercial Backcountry Recreation Opportunities in the North Central Monashee Mountains
WILDLIFE INFORMATION FOR COMMERCIAL BACKCOUNTRY RECREATION OPPORTUNITIES IN THE NORTH CENTRAL MONASHEE MOUNTAINS 1.0 INTRODUCTION Amongst the wide variety of wildlife residing in the North Central Monashee Mountains are rare, threatened or endangered species as well as species of special management emphasis. Color code status has been assigned to species to indicate their vulnerability. Red listed: Includes any indigenous species or subspecies (taxa) considered to be Extirpated, Endangered, or Threatened in British Columbia. Blue listed: Includes any indigenous species or subspecies (taxa) considered to be Vulnerable in British Columbia. Special Management: Includes species which are not red or blue listed but are particularly sensitive to a variety of disturbances and require additional management emphasis. Backcountry recreation has the potential to impact wildlife and wildlife habitat, depending on the location, time of year, intensity, frequency and type of backcountry recreation activity. However, with thorough planning, impacts to wildlife from commercial backcountry recreation can be mitigated. 2.0 COMMERCIAL BACKCOUNTRY RECREATION GUIDELINES During 2000, the Ministry of Environment recognized the need for province-wide commercial backcountry recreation guidelines to address wildlife concerns and allow ministry staff to be provincially consistent in their evaluation of backcountry recreation proposals. The draft provincial guidelines are currently under review, and interim guidelines entitled Expanded Kootenay Region Interim Wildlife Guidelines for Commercial Backcountry Recreation in British Columbia (http://www.elp.gov.bc.ca/wld/comrec/crecintro.html) have been established. The guidelines will assist commercial backcountry operators and government agency staff in protecting wildlife and wildlife habitat while sustaining ecotourism and adventure travel in British Columbia.

O’Harra Collection, Glass Lantern Slides and Glass Plate Negatives page 1 Title C.C. O’Harra Collection: Glass Lantern Slides and Glass Plate Negatives Extent 1509 items: 1227 glass lantern slides, 282 glass plate negatives; 1358 unique images Scope and Content The C.C. O’Harra Collection consists of papers, publications, photographs, maps, and files of South Dakota School of Mines president and professor Cleophus Cisney O’Harra. The Devereaux Library’s glass lantern, sometimes referred to as magic lantern, collection consists of over 1200—3 ¼“ x 4” numbered slides and vary in subject matter from geology to meteorology to campus history and include photographs, drawings and maps of international, regional and historical interest. The glass plate negatives consist of 282 plates. The plates are of two size formats—4” x 5” and 5” x 7”, and have an unprotected photo emulsion on the back side. The purpose of the items was primarily instructional. They were produced either from a stationary camera, as shown in the photo or “on site” from a more portable unit. Glass plates were the first step in the reproduction process and, as is evidenced by the notations in the margins of many of the originals, were later submitted to a commercial photo processor to be made into glass slides Provenance The glass lantern slides and glass plate negatives have been a part of the university‘s holdings for several decades.

UNIVERSITY of CALGARY Estimating Extreme Snow
UNIVERSITY OF CALGARY Estimating Extreme Snow Avalanche Runout for the Columbia Mountains and Fernie Area of British Columbia, Canada by: Katherine S. Johnston A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING CALGARY, ALBERTA AUGUST, 2011 ©Katherine S. Johnston 2011 ABSTRACT Extreme snow avalanche runout is typically estimated using a combination of historical and vegetation records as well as statistical and dynamic models. The two classes of statistical models (α – β and runout ratio) are based on estimating runout distance past the β-point, which is generally defined as the point where the avalanche slope incline first decreases to 10°. The parameters for these models vary from mountain range to mountain range. In Canada, α – β and runout ratio parameters have been published for the Rocky and Purcell Mountains and for the British Columbia Coastal mountains. Despite active development, no suitable tall avalanche path model parameters have been published for the Columbia Mountains or for the Lizard Range area around Fernie, BC. Using a dataset of 70 avalanche paths, statistical model parameters have been derived for these regions. In addition, the correlation between extreme and average snowfall values and avalanche runout is explored. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Thank you to Bruce Jamieson for giving me the opportunity to work on this project, and for coordinating the financial support for this project. His thoughtful advice, numerous reviews, and inspirational leadership have helped make this a fantastic experience. My thanks to Alan Jones for providing numerous hours of guidance, mentoring, and thoughtful discussion throughout this project, and for facilitating data acquisition from outside sources.
