  • Holocene Tephras in Lake Cores from Northern British Columbia, Canada
    935 Holocene tephras in lake cores from northern British Columbia, Canada Thomas R. Lakeman, John J. Clague, Brian Menounos, Gerald D. Osborn, Britta J.L. Jensen, and Duane G. Froese Abstract: Sediment cores recovered from alpine and subalpine lakes up to 250 km apart in northern British Columbia con- tain five previously unrecognized tephras. Two black phonolitic tephras, each 5–10 mm thick, occur within 2–4 cm of each other in basal sediments from seven lakes in the Finlay River – Dease Lake area. The upper and lower Finlay tephras are slightly older than 10 220 – 10 560 cal year B.P. and likely originate from two closely spaced eruptions of one or two large volcanoes in the northern Cordilleran volcanic province. The Finlay tephras occur at the transition between deglacial sediments and organic-rich postglacial mud in the lake cores and, therefore, closely delimit the termination of the Fraser Glaciation in northern British Columbia. Sediments in Bob Quinn Lake, which lies on the east edge of the northern Coast Mountains, contain two black tephras that differ in age and composition from the Finlay tephras. The lower Bob Quinn tephra is 3–4 mm thick, basaltic in composition, and is derived from an eruption in the Iskut River volcanic field about 9400 cal years ago. The upper Bob Quinn tephra is 12 mm thick, trachytic in composition, and probably 7000–8000 cal years old. A fifth tephra occurs as a cryptotephra near the top of two cores from the Finlay River area and is correlated to the east lobe of the White River tephra (ca.

Additionally, pilots and others who must deal with weather phenomena in aviation operations also will benefit from the information contained in this AC. Pilots can review the photographs and section summaries to learn about and recognize common indicators of wind motion in the atmosphere. The photographs show physical processes and provide visual clues. The summaries cover the technical and "wonder" aspects of why certain things occur what caused it?

University of Pittsburgh, 2008 Mount Edziza Volcanic Complex (MEVC) lies within the Northern Cordilleran Volcanic Province (NCVP), in northwest British Columbia, Canada. The eruption products have been emplaced in a variety of subaerial, sub-ice and subaqueous environments from about 8Ma to less than 2000 y.b.p. (Souther, 1992). Ice Peak Formation (IPF) trachyte lava flows of approximately 1Ma age (Souther, 1992) are exposed at Ornostay Bluff (OB) and Koosick Bluff (KB). These flows comprise basal flow breccias overlain by massive conchoidally-fractured lava with large, poorly-developed columns, and local flow banding. Edziza Formation (EF) approximately 1Ma (Souther, 1992) phonolite is exposed at Triangle Dome (TD). TD can broadly be divided into an upper and lower zone. The upper zone comprises poorly-developed columns in addition to prominent jointing. In the lower zone the columns are planar and 75cm- 3m-wide in the interior of the complex grading into fan-like and curved subhorizontal columns <75cm-wide in the outer margins of the lower zone.

  • Understanding Mountain Soils
    2015 In every mountain region, soils constitute the foundation for agriculture, supporting essential ecosystem functions and food security. Mountain soils benefit not only the 900 million people living in the world’s mountainous areas but also billions more living downstream. Soil is a fragile resource that needs time to regenerate. Mountain soils are particularly susceptible to climate change, deforestation, unsustainable farming practices and resource extraction methods that affect their fertility and trigger land degradation, desertification and disasters such as floods and landslides. Mountain peoples often have a deep-rooted connection to the soils they live on; it is a part of their heritage. Over the centuries, they have developed solutions and techniques, indigenous practices, knowledge and sustain- able soil management approaches which have proved to be a key to resilience. This publication, produced by the Mountain Partnership as a contribution to the International Year of Soils 2015, presents the main features of mountain soil systems, their environmental, economic and social values, the threats they are facing and the cultural traditions concerning them. Case studies provided by Mountain Partnership members and partners around the world showcase challenges and opportunities as well as lessons learned in soil management. This publication presents a series of lessons learned and recommendations to inform moun- Understanding Mountain soils tain communities, policy-makers, development experts and academics who support sustainable
