E-mail: [email protected] Table of Contents EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report presents the results of the Public Safety Canada funded project to inventory current and predict future trends in avalanche threats and mitigation programs in Canada. The project also updated the Natural Resources Canada website and map of fatal avalanche incidents. Avalanches have been responsible for at least 702 fatalities in Canada since the earliest recorded incident in 1782. Sixty-one percent of these fatalities occurred in British Columbia, with 13% in Alberta, 11% in Quebec and 10% in Newfoundland and Labrador. The remainder occurred in Ontario, Nova Scotia and the Yukon, Northwest and Nunavut Territories. Fifty-three percent of the fatalities were people engaged in recreational activities, while 18% were people in or near buildings, 16% were travelling or working on transportation corridors and 8% were working in resource industries.

    Glaciers of North America— GLACIERS OF CANADA GLACIERS OF THE CANADIAN ROCKIES By C. SIMON L. OMMANNEY SATELLITE IMAGE ATLAS OF GLACIERS OF THE WORLD Edited by RICHARD S. 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.

INTRODUCTION Page i INTRODUCTION When designing an HVACR system, it is of paramount importance to use the correct outdoor climate data (outdoor design conditions) for the locality in which the building receiving the new system is located. This data is used when calculating the building component heating load and component cooling load, which in turn are used to determine the required cubic feet per minute (CFM) for each room, design the appropriate duct work, and select the optimal equipment for the application.

  • One Hundred Years Ago (With Extracts from the Alpine Journal)
    CA RUSSELL One Hundred Years Ago (with extracts from the Alpine Journal) (Plates 52- 56) rom Randa to the Weisshorn hut in 7 hr. Next day, left at 6.30. FBreakfast place 11.30. Up to here snow powdery and deep. Passage of the rocky arc~te in SS min. Rocks dry. Final arete nearly all ice. Last 2 hrs. continuous cutting. Summit 14.50. Weather superb and absolutely calm. The first winter ascent of the Weisshorn, by way of the E ridge, was one of a number of successful expedition~ completed in the settled conditions experienced in many parts of the Alps during the opening weeks of 1902. After reaching the summit on 10 January LF Ryan, accompanied by Alois Pollinger and Josef and Raphael Lochmatter, enjoyed a beautiful sunset during the descent to the Weisshorn hut. On the following day Ryan and his guides returned to Randa where rockets were fired in their honour. Other peaks climbed for the first time in winter included Ochs or Klein Fiescherhorn in the Bernese Alps on 20 January, by Gustav Hasler with Christian Jossi, and the Punta dell' Argentera, the highest mountain in the Maritime Alps, on 23 January by Victor de Cessole with JB and Jean Plent and Dominique Martin. Two months later, on 20 March, Ettore Allegra accompanied by Pierre Dayne and Antonio Welf climbed the Zumsteinspitze in the Monte Rosa group, the fIrst recorded winter ascent of this peak. In such favourable conditions the development of ski mountaineering continued apace and several notable tours were undertaken. In the Bernese Alps DrJ David and Paul Koenig, without guides, made the first ski ascents I of two high peaks: the Gross Fiescherhorn on 22 January and the Jungfrau two days later.
