WILLIAMS, Jr., and JANE G. FERRIGNO U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY PROFESSIONAL PAPER 1386–J–1 The Rocky Mountains of Canada include four distinct ranges from the U.S. border to northern British Columbia: Border, Continental, Hart, and Muskwa Ranges. They cover about 170,000 km2, are about 150 km wide, and have an estimated glacierized area of 38,613 km2. Mount Robson, at 3,954 m, is the highest peak. Glaciers range in size from ice fields, with major outlet glaciers, to glacierets. Small mountain-type glaciers in cirques, niches, and ice aprons are scattered throughout the ranges. Ice-cored moraines and rock glaciers are also common CONTENTS Page Abstract ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- J199 Introduction----------------------------------------------------------------------- 199 FIGURE 1.

  • Petroleum Industry Oral History Project Transcript
    PETROLEUM INDUSTRY ORAL HISTORY PROJECT TRANSCRIPT INTERVIEWEE: Gordon Williams INTERVIEWER: David Finch DATE: August 2001 DF: Today is the 13th day of August in the year 2001 and we are with Mr. Gordon Williams at 120 Varsity Estates Place N.W. in Calgary. My name is David Finch. Would you start by telling us where you were born? GW: I was born in Manitoba, a town called Minnedosa, on May 22nd, 1933. It’s a town of about 2 1/2 thousand people 30 miles north of Brandon, 140 miles west of Winnipeg. DF: What were your parents doing? GW: Dad was a farmer south of town. His parents had moved to the farm in 1914. It was a quarter section farm, just sort of big enough to starve on. DF: Tell us about your education? GW: We actually moved around quite a bit. I started school in a country school north of Minnedosa and then during the war, my dad entered the military, entered the Army, and mother and children moved to a small town north of Minnedosa called Erickson and from there we moved to the home quarter south of Minnedosa and I finished my elementary schooling at the local country school. And then went to Minnedosa Collegiate fro high school, graduated in ‘51, taught school for a year as a 6 week wonder. I had applied for a scholarship to go on, I was going to go into agriculture actually at the University of Manitoba. I couldn’t afford to go in without a scholarship so in the interim I went to Winnipeg for a 6 week teacher training course and had signed a contract to teach for a year at a little school called Providence, which is north of Sandy Lake on the south side of Riding Mountain National Park.

  • Rank Variation, Coalification Pattern and Coal Quality in the Crowsnest Coalfield, British Columbia
    Rank variation, coalification pattern and coal quality in the Crowsnest coalfield, British Columbia DAVID E. PEARSON David E. Pearson & Associates Ltd. Victoria, British Columbia and DAVID A. GRIEVE British Columbia Ministry of Energy, Mines & Petroleum Resources Fernie, British Columbia ABSTRACT A rank-map of Crowsnest coalfield, showing the distribution of the bituminous coal measures and the locations of major structures, has been produced from vitrinite reflectance measurements on over 560 coalsamples. The timing of coalification in relation to these major structures has also been determined. In the west-central portion of the coalfield a complete stratigraphic succession of coal measures which rides on major thrust surfaces is all of high-volatile bituminous rank, but despite the structural discordance no break in rank is discernible across these structures. The thrust faults therefore predate much of the coalification. Three major valleys expose cross sections of the folded coal measures and in each an increase in vitrinite reflectance is demonstrable as individual seams are tracedfrom ridge crest to valley floor. Thus, in these sections, a significant amount of coalification post-dates folding. The proportion of this post-folding coalification is found to increase toward the south of the coalfield. A late gravity-fault, exposed along the east crop of the coalfield, places high-volatile coal-bearing successions in contact with low-volatile coal and demonstrably is a reactivated thrust fault. Coalification at this locality occurred between these two different ages of faulting. The variations in rank and the subtleties of the coalification pattern have, together with systematic changes in the maceral composition of coal seams, had a profound effect on coal quality in the coalfield.
