The early history of the group is explained in one of the papers pre­ sented and the composition of the High Altitude Revegetation Committee is printed after the Table of Contents. The Committee started as an ad hoc group and has grown along with its sponsored activities such as the Workshops and the annual sunnner Field Tours. One of us has been Chairman since 1974, and prevailed on the Committee to hold an election during the March, 1982 workshop. As a result, Larry F. Brown (who had been Vice-Chairman) was elected to the Chairmanship and Wendell Hassell was elected to be Vice-Chairman. Most of the committee member­ ship continues, as an invaluable source of advice and strength, and the thanks of all who are interested in High Altitude Revegetabion are gratefully offered to these persons and to their parent agencies and companies, whose names are recognized on the title pages. The editors also realize, and wish to point out, that the Workshop could not have been as successful as it was (with 243 participants) without the valuable contributions of three groups: the participants who attend~d contributed their resources and knowledge in the discussions; the chairmen and panelists who likewise guided the thoughts and questions of the group; and the speakers who contributed their skills and time in the preparation and delivery of their papers. One paper, by Richard Hallman, was not given orally but the value of the text and photographs made it a worthy addition to the sequence. On short notice, William Mitchell volunteered a progress report from Alaska which we transcribed and have printed here at the end of the first afternoon session. Our efforts to record and transcribe the panel discussion were foiled by technical_problems, for which we tender apologies. We acknowledge the help and organizational abilities of Dean Bressler and the staff of the CSU Office of Conferences and Institutes. Our thanks also extend to Randall and Blake, Inc. for their generous sponsorship of the social hour. A special feature of the Banquet this year was the thought-provoking tape/slide show on the eruption of Mt. St. Helens. The magnitude of this disturbance and the scope of natural succession and revegetation efforts is humbling to those of us involved in this field. Robin L.

  • Sedimentologic and Petrographic Evidence Of
    SEDIMENTOLOGIC AND PETROGRAPHIC EVIDENCE OF FLOW CONFINEMENT IN A PASSIVE CONTINENTAL MARGIN SLOPE CHANNEL COMPLEX, ISAAC FORMATION, WINDERMERE SUPERGROUP, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA Tyler Billington Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the M.Sc. degree in Earth Sciences Ottawa-Carleton Geoscience Centre Faculty of Science University of Ottawa © Tyler Billington, Ottawa, Canada, 2019 University of Ottawa Abstract At the Castle Creek study area in east-central British Columbia a well-exposed section about 450 m wide and 30 m thick in the (Neoproterozoic) Isaac Formation was analyzed to document vertical and lateral changes in a succession of distinctively heterolithic strata. Strata are interpreted to have been deposited on a deep-marine levee that was sandwiched between its genetically related channel on one side and an erosional escarpment sculpted by an older (underlying) channel on the other. Flows that overspilled the channel (incident flow) eventually encountered the escarpment, which then set up a return flow oriented more or less opposite to the incident (from the channel) flow. This created an area of complex flow that became manifested in the sedimentary record as a highly tabular succession of intricately interstratified sand and mud overlain by an anomalously thick, plane-parallel interlaminated sand-mud unit capped finally by a claystone. ii Résumé Dans la zone d’étude de Castle Creek, situé au centre-est de la Colombie-Britannique, se trouve une section exposée de 30 m d’épaisseur et de 450 m de large dans la formation Isaac (Neoprotérozoique).

Calgary, AB T3E 5S4 August 2001 PREFACE This report was prepared under the terms of Parks Canada contract #KKP 2064. The views expressed are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the policies of Parks Canada. This document may be cited as: Tremblay, M. 2001. Wildlife Corridors in the Lake Louise Area, Alberta: A Multi-Scale, Multi-Species Management Strategy. Prepared for Parks Canada. 168pp. i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY BACKGROUND Habitat fragmentation is a central issue in the Lake Louise area due to the presence of a naturally fragmented landscape coupled with high levels of human activity, a situation that is believed to be constraining the movements of wildlife in the area. Human influences in the Lake Louise area include four nodes of visitor activity (the Hamlet of Lake Louise, the Upper Lake area, the Lake Louise ski area, and the Moraine Lake area), two major transportation corridors (the Trans-Canada Highway and the Canadian Pacific Railway), several high volume secondary roads, a dense network of popular hiking trails, and dispersed human activity such as off-trail hiking and snowshoeing. Although a variety of studies have been carried out to further our understanding of wildlife habitat use and movements within BNP, there has been no attempt to synthesize information from multiple sources into a single consideration of wildlife corridors specifically for the Lake Louise area.

  • Sedimentology and Stratigraphy of a Matrix
    SEDIMENTOLOGY AND STRATIGRAPHY OF A MATRIX-POOR TO MATRIX-RICH DEPOSITIONAL CONTINUUM IN PROXIMAL BASIN FLOOR STRATA, UPPER KAZA GROUP, WINDERMERE SUPERGROUP, B.C., CANADA. Nataša Popović Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the M.Sc. degree in Earth Sciences Ottawa-Carleton Geoscience Centre Faculty of Science University of Ottawa ©Nataša Popović, Ottawa, Canada, 2016 Abstract Matrix-rich strata (20-70% mud matrix) have been increasingly recognized in deep- marine systems. These beds are thought to be deposited from mud-rich flows in a distal basin-floor setting; however they remain poorly understood, partly because details of lateral lithological changes are poorly known. In this study, matrix-rich strata are common in proximal basin-floor strata of the Neoproterozoic Windermere Supergroup. The objective of this thesis is to provide detailed description and interpretation of the lithological and mineralogical make-up and lateral facies trends of matrix-rich strata in in a unit 40 m thick and 800 m wide. Here, stratigraphic and petrographic analyses identified five facies: classic turbidites; sandstones; clayey sandstones; sandy claystones and fine-grained banded couplets, which laterally are arranged systematically from matrix-poor sandstones to thin-bedded turbidites. This lateral change is interpreted to represent a depositional continuum along the margins of an efflux jet that formed immediately downflow of an avulsion node. ii Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to whole-heartedly thank my supervisor, Dr. Bill Arnott, for the opportunity to work on such an amazing project and for all of his countless hours of support, guidance and mentoring.
