Glaciers of the Canadian Rockies
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.

Controls on the Distribution of Thermal Springs in the Southern Canadian Cordillera1
Color profile: Generic CMYK printer profile Composite Default screen 427 Controls on the distribution of thermal springs in the southern Canadian Cordillera1 Stephen E. Grasby and Ian Hutcheon Abstract: Thermal springs examined in southern British Columbia are restricted to six major Eocene or later brittle fault systems. These faults provide a high-permeability flow path that allows for deep circulation of meteoric water. The depth of circulation, and thus temperature, is largely influenced by fault plane geometry. Calculated circulation depths of up to 4.8 km are consistent with models for hydrothermal ore deposits that invoke the mixing of mineralizing fluids with sulphur-rich meteoric water at depth. Mass-flux calculations indicate that a relatively small spring (5 L/s) can transport large amounts of bacterially reduced sulphur to ore-forming depths over a short geological time scale and can easily account for the sulphur associated with Pb–Zn deposits in the southern Canadian Cordillera. Modern thermal springs may be good analogies for the upper-crustal flow systems in hydrothermal ore deposit models. Résumé : Les sources thermales étudiées au sud de la Colombie-Britannique sont limitées à six systèmes de failles cassantes da- tant de l’Éocène ou plus tard. Ces failles fournissent un chemin d’écoulement à haute perméabilité qui permet aux eaux météoriques de circuler en profondeur. La profondeur de la circulation et donc la température sont grandement in- fluencées par la géométrie du plan de faille. Des profondeurs de circulation calculées jusqu’à 4,8 km concordent avec les modèles de gisements de minerai hydrothermaux qui ont recours au mélange en profondeur de fluides minéralisa- teurs et d’eaux météoriques riches en sulfures. -

Total potential in siru coal resources are a minimum of 7.8 billion tonnes. The coal-bearing Mist Mountain Formation ranges from less than 425 to approximately 700 metres in thickness in the study area. An average of approximately IO per cent of its total thickness is composed of coal seams, which range up to 13 metres in thickness.
