This PDF version of the Landscapes of the Palliser Triangle Guidebook differs in several ways from the original printed version: (a)Errors in the original have been corrected. (b)Many of the figures have been retouched, redrafted, replaced by colour versions or otherwise adjusted for opti- mal viewing on–screen and printing. (c)The text has been rearranged to some degree and all figures and tables have been placed at the end of the document with links to them in the body text. This makes reading the document on-screen somewhat easier, but does make a print–out of this version appear much different from the original. (d)Header links on selected pages allow the reader to rapidly move to the Tables and Figures, Stop descriptions, Table of Contents and a section on the use of the document when viewing on-screen. Contents Stops Tables/Figures Navigation hints USING THIS DOCUMENT Setting up Acrobat Reader: To obtain the best view of this document on various types of computers (including laptops), it is essential first to configure Acrobat Reader. Go to “File/Preferences/General” and make the following settings: Default Page layout: single Default magnification: 100% Max “Fit Visible” Magnification: 125% Check the following boxes: Display Large images Smooth Text and Monochrome Images Display Page to Edge Use Page Cache Allow Background Download of Entire File Navigation 1.Links:Links are clickable areas (usually blue text) that instantly move the reader to another location. Author’s names shown in blue are links to either a page showing their full address or they are “web links” that automatically open a web browser and a blank e-mail mes- sage to the selected author. A problem with some older versions of Netscape is that the e-mail window opens behind the browser page, requiring that it be brought to the front before a message can be written. Normal links are indicated by a pointing-hand cursor. Web Links are indicated by a small “w” in the pointing-hand cursor. The latter will only function if the user has the Adobe Web-link plug-in installed in the Acrobat Reader plug-ins folder. The Web-link plug-in is located in the optional plug-ins directory supplied with Acrobat Reader. Bookmarks are a special type of link. They are shown to the left of the screen. Note that some of the bookmarks are nested (indicated by an arrow next to the text label). Click on the arrow to open the item and reveal bookmarks lower in the hierarchy. Aside from bookmarks, the only other links in this document that are not signified by blue text are the site numbers on the surficial geology map (Fig. 11). 2.Tool bar:The “tool bar” at the top of the page offers a number of options for viewing the document. At present the document is set to open with bookmarks visible. But one could also choose to view without bookmarks (first toolbar icon on left) or using thumbnail views of each page (third icon). All of the options represented by the icons on the tool bar are also available in the “View” and “Tools” pull- down menus. One of the most important tools, represented by the double arrow pointing to the left, is a “go back” button. Use it (or its keyboard equivalent: cntrl -; command -) to jump back to one’s place in the text after choosing a link, e.g., to a figure or table. 3.Column option: When the cursor is over a column of text it becomes a hand with a downward pointing arrow. This option simplifies viewing of two column text. Simply left-click the cursor and the screen will move to the next block of text. If one is at the bottom of the first column, a click will automatically more to the next column and at the bottom of that, a click will move to the upper left column on the next page. There is no need to move the cursor; only to click the mouse. If the “Max Fit Visible” magnification has been set at 125%, the text will appear at that magnification, which is well suited for both lap-top and desk-top computers. Notes Small red boxes on found on some of the pages of this document. These are “digital post-it” notes that may contain special information on features of the page, corrections, or parenthetic information. Double click the note to open and read. Options for using this document There are several ways to use this document. (a) Browse through the document a page-at-a-time using the paging tool at the top of the screen. (b) Find a section or stop number in the bookmarks section or in the Table of Contents and using the link, go directly to that sec- tion” section; (c) use the links shown as header items on the first few pages to jump directly to the contents, tables & figures, or stop descriptions; (d) go directly to the figures and use the links on each to jump to text on the individual stops; Printing This document is designed to print on all models of laser and ink-jet printers. However, some HP printers have problems printing pdf doc- uments accurately If you have trouble printing using an HP printer, try updating the driver or using a different printer. Fig. 11 is bigger than page size. Read the “digital post-it” note on its page for printing instructions.

  • Entomological Opportunities in Grasslands National Park – an Invitation
    Entomological opportunities in Grasslands National Park – an invitation Darcy C. Henderson Parks Canada, Western & Northern Service Center, 145 McDermot Avenue, Winnipeg MB, R3B 0R9 Beginning in summer 2006, two large-scale management experiments will begin in Grasslands National Park, both of which require long-term monitoring of many biological and environmen- tal indicators. The carefully planned experiments are designed to support future park management, and provide data suitable for scientific publica- tion. While the Park selected a few key indicators for staff to monitor, there were a number of other A rare blue form of the red-legged grasshopper, Melanoplus femurrubrum, found in Grasslands National Park. (photo by D.L. Johnson) indicators for which funds and time were simply not available. Not wanting to waste an opportu- nity for public participation and a chance to gain valuable information, Grasslands National Park is inviting professional and amateur entomologists to get involved in monitoring arthropods under several grazing and fire treatments planned for both the West and East Blocks of the Park (see map below; for an overview of the Park go to http: //www.pc.gc.ca/pn-np/sk/grasslands/index_e.asp). In the West Block, a combination of pre- scribed fire with short-duration, high-intensity livestock grazing will be implemented on na- tive mixed prairie and exotic crested wheatgrass vegetation between 2006 and 2007. The Park is primarily interested in the seed production re- sponse, because past experience indicates thrips (Thysanoptera) and possibly other insects damage much native seed in the ungrazed and unburned Upland grasslands dominated by needle and thread parts of the Park.

  • The Dinosaur Park - Bearpaw Formation Transition in the Cypress Hills Region of Southwestern Saskatchewan, Canada Meagan M
    The Dinosaur Park - Bearpaw Formation Transition in the Cypress Hills Region of Southwestern Saskatchewan, Canada Meagan M. Gilbert Department of Geological Sciences, University of Saskatchewan; [email protected] Summary The Upper Cretaceous Dinosaur Park Formation (DPF) is a south- and eastward-thinning fluvial to marginal marine clastic-wedge in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. The DPF is overlain by the Bearpaw Formation (BF), a fully marine clastic succession representing the final major transgression of the epicontinental Western Interior Seaway (WIS) across western North America. In southwestern Saskatchewan, the DPF is comprised of marginal marine coal, carbonaceous shale, and heterolithic siltstone and sandstone grading vertically into marine sandstone and shale of the Bearpaw Formation. Due to Saskatchewan’s proximity to the paleocoastline, 5th order transgressive cycles resulted in the deposition of multiple coal seams (Lethbridge Coal Zone; LCZ) in the upper two-thirds of the DPF in the study area. The estimated total volume of coal is 48109 m3, with a gas potential of 46109 m3 (Frank, 2005). The focus of this study is to characterize the facies and facies associations of the DPF, the newly erected Manâtakâw Member, and the lower BF in the Cypress Hills region of southwestern Saskatchewan utilizing core, outcrop, and geophysical well log data. This study provides a comprehensive sequence stratigraphic overview of the DPF-BF transition in Saskatchewan and the potential for coalbed methane exploration. Introduction The Dinosaur Park and Bearpaw Formations in Alberta, and its equivalents in Montana, have been the focus of several sedimentologic and stratigraphic studies due to exceptional outcrop exposure and extensive subsurface data (e.g., McLean, 1971; Wood, 1985, 1989; Eberth and Hamblin, 1993; Tsujita, 1995; Catuneanu et al., 1997; Hamblin, 1997; Rogers et al., 2016).
