The new volume was concerned with publishing geological and technical reports and recording exploration activity in the Province. The first edition, Geology, Exploration and Mining in British Columbia, 1969, was 466 pages, by 1970 it was 561 pages. Exploration activity continued to bloom but our staff did not expand. Inthe mid-1970's re- organizations within the Ministry shifted priorities and put severe pressureon publications production section. Staff turnover was rapid, the section did not grow to match new workload, backlogs began and built rapidly. Weare making a concentrated effort to attempt to eliminate the backlogs and get back on schedule. This volume represents such an attempt. It contains contributions that span four years. The publication, Geology in British Columbia, is supposed to be released annually; we apologize thatproduction difficulties have forcedus to combine several issues in order to catch up. Also because of production difficulties, the volume is small, since little material was submitted after 1977. Ministry geologists switched their efforts and published more preliminary maps, reports in Geological Fieldwork and the Paper series,and in external publications. vii SOUTHEAST BRITISH COLUMBIA (NTS DIVISION 82) 1977"GEOLOGY OF THE SKOMAC MINE AND BOUNDARY FALLS AREA (82El2) By B.

Early Eocene climates were globally warm, with ice-free conditions at both poles. Early 16 Eocene polar landmasses supported extensive forest ecosystems of a primarily temperate biota, 17 but also with abundant thermophilic elements such as crocodilians, and mesothermic taxodioid 18 conifers and angiosperms. The globally warm early Eocene was punctuated by geologically brief 19 hyperthermals such as the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), culminating in the 20 Early Eocene Climatic Optimum (EECO), during which the range of thermophilic plants such as 21 palms extended into the Arctic. Climate models have struggled to reproduce early Eocene Arctic 22 warm winters and high precipitation, with models invoking a variety of mechanisms, from 23 atmospheric CO2 levels that are unsupported by proxy evidence, to the role of an enhanced 24 hydrological cycle to reproduce winters that experienced no direct solar energy input yet remained 25 wet and above freezing.

Department of r.pnlnpiVal Sri PTirp.S The University of British Columbia 2075 Wesbrook Place Vancouver, Canada V6T 1W5 Date February 17, 1981 ABSTRACT The Kamloops Group is a widespread assemblage of Eocene volcanic and sedimentary rocks in south-central British Columbia. Detailed mapping of the type area near Kamloops has resulted in its subdivision into two formations and thirteen formal and informal members. The Tranquille Formation, 0-450 metres thick, consists of lacustrine sediments which grade upward into pillowed flows, hyaloclastite breccia and aquagene tuff. The overlying Dewdrop Flats Formation, with nine members, consists of up to 1000 metres of basalt to andesite phreatic breccia, flow breccia and flat-lying flows.

  • Thermal Decomposition of Metatorbernite – a Controlled Rate Thermal Analysis Study

Box 158, Hungary 3Department of Environmental Engineering and Chemical Technology, University of Veszprém, 8201 Veszprém, P.O. Box 158, Hungary The mineral metatorbernite, Cu[(UO2)2(PO4)]2·8H2O, has been studied using a combination of energy dispersive X-ray analysis, X-ray diffraction, dynamic and controlled rate thermal analysis techniques. X-ray diffraction shows that the starting material in the thermal decomposition is metatorbernite and the product of the thermal treatment is copper uranyl phosphate. Three steps are ob- served for the dehydration of metatorbernite. These occur at 138ºC with the loss of 1.5 moles of water, 155°C with the loss of 4.5 moles of water, 291°C with the loss of an additional 2 moles of water. These mass losses result in the formation of four phases namely meta(II)torbernite, meta(III)torbernite, meta(IV)torbernite and anhydrous hydrogen uranium copper pyrophosphate. The use of a combination of dynamic and controlled rate thermal analysis techniques enabled a definitive study of the thermal decompo- sition of metatorbernite. While the temperature ranges and the mass losses vary from author to author due to the different experi- mental conditions, the results of the CRTA analysis should be considered as standard data due to the quasi-equilibrium nature of the thermal decomposition process.

  • A Solid Solution Series Between Xenotime (Ytp04) and Chernovite (Ytaso0
    MINERALOGICAL MAGAZINE, JUNE I973, VOL. 39, 1'I'. I45--5I A solid solution series between xenotime (YtP04) and chernovite (YtAsO0 STEFAN GRAESER Department of Mineralogy, Natural History Museum, Basel, and Mineralogical Institute, University of Basel, Switzerland HANS SCHWANDER Mineralogical Institute, University of Basel HANS A. STALDER Natural History Museum, Bern, Switzerland "SUMMARY. The mineral chernovite, described as a new mineral from the Urals by Russian minera- logists in I967 (Goldin et aL, 1967), has been found at three different localities in mineral fissures in the Binnatal, Switzerland, and a little to the south, in Italy. The mineral occurs in greenish-yellow bipyramidal crystals up to about t mm. A detailed single-crystal study of several specimens showed that the lattice constants vary considerably on either side of those published for the original cherno- vite. The refractive indices, too, display some variation. Microprobe analyses of this material, and of xenotime specimens from the same region, revealed that there exists at least partial solution between chernovite and xenotime. The three chernovite samples have molar percentages of 63"z, 73'2, and 82.o % YtAsO4 (the Urals chernovite has about 95"2 %). These studies prove the existence of an fisomorphous series between xenotime and chernovite, at least in the As-rich portion. D U RI N G the summer of I966 the mineral collector Fritz Stettler of Berne found some mineral specimens in the southern part of Binnatal that were unknown to him; he sent them to the Natural History Museum in Berne for identification. One of us (H. A. St.) studied the minerals by Debye-Scherrer diagrams and optical methods.

    BRITISH COLUMBIA MINISTRY OF WATER, LAND AND AIR PROTECTION - 2002 Environmental Indicator: Fish in British Columbia Primary Indicator: Conservation status of Steelhead Trout stocks rated as healthy, of conservation concern, and of extreme conservation concern. Selection of the Indicator: The conservation status of Steelhead Trout stocks is a state or condition indicator. It provides a direct measure of the condition of British Columbia’s Steelhead stocks. Steelhead Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) are highly valued by recreational anglers and play a locally important role in First Nations ceremonial, social and food fisheries. Because Steelhead Trout use both freshwater and marine ecosystems at different periods in their life cycle, it is difficult to separate effects of freshwater and marine habitat quality and freshwater and marine harvest mortality. Recent delcines, however, in southern stocks have been attributed to environmental change, rather than over-fishing because many of these stocks are not significantly harvested by sport or commercial fisheries. With respect to conseration risk, if a stock is over fished, it is designated as being of ‘conservation concern’. The term ‘extreme conservation concern’ is applied to stock if there is a probablity that the stock could be extirpated. Data and Sources: Table 1.
