THE CANADIAN HANDBOOK AND TOURIST'S GUIDE. INTRODUCTION. The Nooks and Corners of Canada, and. more especially of the Lower Province, in addition to the interest they awaken as important sources of Commercial and Agricultural wealth, are invested with no ordinary attraction for the Naturalist, the Antiquary, the Historian, and the Tourist in quest of pleasure or of health. We have often wondered why more of the venturesome spirits amongst our transatlantic friends do not tear themselves away, even for a few months, from London fogs, to visit our distant but more favoured clime. How is it that so few, comparatively speaking, come to enjoy the bracing air and bright summer skies of Canada ? With what zest could the enterprising or eccentric among them undertake a ramble, with rod and gun in hand, from Niagara to Labrador, over the Laurentian Chain of Moun- tains, choosing as rallying points, whereat to compare notes, the summit of Cape Eternity in the Saguenay district, and 6 Introduction.

However, there is a lack of field studies on the impact of these structures on flow dynamics and bed topography. The objective of this research is to characterize flow dynamics and sediment transport around paired deflectors used to enhance fish habitat in the Nicolet River (Qc). Bed and bank topography surveys were taken with a total station, and velocity and bed shear stress estimates were obtained from an Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter. Bedload sediment transport was assessed by two methods: tracer rocks (painted particles and PIT tags) and sediment traps. Results show marked differences in bedload sediment transport patterns between the left and the right bank downstream of the deflectors.

  • Summary Report on the St-Lawrence Lowlands South of the St-Lawrence River Province of Quebec, Canada
    RP 204(A) SUMMARY REPORT ON THE ST-LAWRENCE LOWLANDS SOUTH OF THE ST-LAWRENCE RIVER PROVINCE OF QUEBEC, CANADA DEPARTMENT OF MINES GEOLOGICAL SURVEYS BRANCH SUMMARY REPORT ON THE ST. LAWRENCE LOWLANDS SOUTH OF THE ST. LAWRENCE RIVER BY T.H. CLARK QUEBEC 1947 P. R. No. 204 SUMMARY REPORT ON THE ST. LAWRENCE LOWLANDS SOUTH OF THE ST. LAWRENCE RIVER by T .H. Clark INTRODUCTION For several years past the Department of Mines of the Province of Quebec has been investi- gating the stratigraphy and structure of the St. Lawrence Lowlands. The study was undertaken be- cause of the interest shown in this region as a possible producer of oil and gas and because of the need of an up-to-date geological map of the region. Enquiries regarding rock distribution and the existence of, or favourable indications regarding, natural resources could not be readily answered on the basis of earlier reports. No exposure maps of this part of Quebec have ever been made, and hence all previous state- ments as to stratigraphy or structure were with- out adequate cartographical confirmation. Because of this unsatisfactory situation, a programme of exposure mapping, using as bases the topographic M-1614 - 2 - maps published by the Department of National De- fence, was begun. The Laval and Lachine map- areas (1) were completed first, and afterward the St.Johns and Beloeil maps (2). The present, summary report outlines the structure and stratig- raphy of the remainder of the lowland region south of the St.Lawrence. This report is a summary of the informa- tion obtained from field-work carried out during the summers of 1942 to 1946, inclusive.
