Establishing networks of protected areas and maintaining connectivity between them is the most recommended prescription for minimizing the impacts of these influences. Conservation planning must occur at the scale at which climate and evolutionary changes occur. The Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative (Y2Y) is one of the world's oldest and most advanced efforts to establish a large-scale network of protected areas and maintain connectivity between them. Working with a network of more than 125 partners, Y2Y promotes the establishment of new protected areas and their management for biodiversity conservation. Programs also support the mitigation of highway and railway impacts on wildlife, provide education and resources for minimizing conflicts between communities and wildlife, restore and remove industrial access roads, protect private lands through purchase or easement, and, when necessary, oppose inappropriate development. -
Dacite Block and Ash Avalanche Hazards in Mountainous Terrain: 2360 Yr

The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date IB * zooi DE-6 (2/88) Abstract The Mount Meager volcanic complex hosts deposits from the youngest known explosive volcanic eruption in Canada (2360 yr. BP). These deposits reflect the consequences of erupting dacite magmas into a region of extreme topographic relief. Regions of this kind represent one of the most hazardous and, potentially, high risk natural environments on the planet. Mapping of the Pebble Creek Formation deposits has elucidated a unique distribution of hazardous events of varying intensity, timing, and frequency associated with the 2360 yr. -
Garibaldi Provincial Park 2010 Olympic Venue
1 Garibaldi Provincial Park 2010 Olympic Venue Garibaldi Provincial Park, located in the traditional territory of the Squamish people, forms much of the backdrop to Whistler/ Blackcomb, site of the downhill events of the 2010 Winter Games. Sitting in the heart of the Coast Mountains, the park takes its name from the towering 2,678 metre peak, Mount Garibaldi. Garibaldi Park is known for its pristine beauty and spectacular natural features. Just 70 km north of Vancouver, the park offers over 90 km of established hiking trails, and is a favourite year-round destination for outdoor enthusiasts. Interesting Garibaldi Park Facts • The southern portion of Garibaldi Park is home to the Garibaldi Volcano, part of the Garibaldi Volcanic Belt and made up of Mount Garibaldi, Atwell Peak, and Dalton Dome. This stratavolcano, so named because of its conelike layers of hardened lava, rock and volcanic ash, last erupted 10,000 to 13,000 years ago under glacial ice. It is this event that is responsible for forming some of the fascinating geological features in the park, such as Opal Cone, the Table and Black Tusk. • The “Barrier” is a natural rock formation created by the volcanic explosion of Mount Price thousands of years ago; the lava created a natural dam for the melt streams from nearby glaciers. As a result Garibaldi Lake formed. The lake reaches depths of up to 300 metres in places and is rich in silt (or ‘rock flour’), which gives the lake its characteristic milky blue colour. www.bcparks.ca 2 Garibaldi Provincial Park 2010 Olympic Venue History In 1860, while surveying Howe Sound on board the Royal Navy ship H.M.S. -

Garibaldi Lake (Saturday, August 6, 2016)
BMN HIKE REPORT Garibaldi Lake (Saturday, August 6, 2016) by Terry Puls View at the outlet of Garibaldi Lake, looking back toward Castle Towers Mountain and Mt. Carr. Terry Puls photo. Even an early 6:00 am start did not deter a group of BMN hikers from our August hike to Garibaldi Provincial Park to visit Taylor Meadows and Garibaldi Lake. Eleven of us met at our meeting location in Coquitlam under clear skies, though the air had a chill to it that would prove to provide the group with comfortable temperatures for the hike. Shortly after 6:00 we headed off by car to the trailhead where we would meet four others. Upon arriving at the Rubble Creek trailhead, we were greeted by two park rangers who warned us that the area was extremely busy and that there was a bear in the area. We never saw any signs of the bear; however, the crowds were certainly present. Even with our early start the parking lots were near capacity. After a quick introduction we headed off on our journey. The trail is in great shape and at a favourable grade, so we were able to make it to the 6 km junction fairly quickly, while enjoying the sights of some fairly impressive Douglas-fir trees along the way. Once at the 6 km junction, we regathered the group and, after a short break, headed for Taylor Meadows. Upon entering the Taylor Meadows area, some of our party caught a glimpse of a grouse alongside the trail. Once at the meadows, the views start to open up and we enjoyed the view of the Black Tusk and some of the other peaks in the area. -

The Origin of Adakites in the Garibaldi Volcanic Complex, Southwestern British Columbia, Canada
The Origin of Adakites in the Garibaldi Volcanic Complex, southwestern British Columbia, Canada A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Master of Science In Geology University of Regina By Julie Anne Fillmore Regina, Saskatchewan November 2014 Copyright 2014: J.A. Fillmore UNIVERSITY OF REGINA FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES AND RESEARCH SUPERVISORY AND EXAMINING COMMITTEE Julie Anne Fillmore, candidate for the degree of Master of Science in Geology, has presented a thesis titled, The Origin of Adakites in the Garibaldi Volcanic Complex, Southwestern British Columbia, Canada, in an oral examination held on August 22, 2014. The following committee members have found the thesis acceptable in form and content, and that the candidate demonstrated satisfactory knowledge of the subject material. External Examiner: Dr. Martin Beech, Campion College Supervisor: Dr. Ian M. Coulson, Department of Geology Committee Member: Dr. Tsilavo Raharimahefa, Department of Geology Chair of Defense: Dr. Josef Buttigieg, Department of Biology ii Abstract The Garibaldi Volcanic Complex (GVC) is located in southwestern British Columbia, Canada. It comprises two volcanic fields: the Garibaldi Lake Volcanic Field (GLVF) in the north and the Mount Garibaldi Volcanic Field (MGVF) in the south. Petrographical and geochemical studies on volcanic rocks collected from the GVC have determined that they exhibit adakitic characteristics; these intermediate rocks range from basaltic andesite to dacite represented mainly by lava flows, domes and minor pyroclastic material. All the lavas exhibit evidence of magma mixing, which include sieve textured crystals, dehydration reaction textures, differently sized phenocryst populations, xenocrysts and xenoliths. -
