Klinaklini Heli-Rafting Planning Your Trip…
KLINAKLINI HELI-RAFTING PLANNING YOUR TRIP…. Thank you for choosing a R.O.A.M. wilderness rafting and hiking trip. We are very excited that you will be joining us for an unforgettable river trip through some of British Columbia’s most spectacular wilderness. In June of 1997, we put together an expedition team of professional guides for the first descent of this incredible mountain waterway. In August of the same year, we operated the first commercial trip with Men’s Journal magazine covering the event. In 1998, complete with supermodels, we operated the first all-woman descent in conjunction with the Donna Karan Corporation of New York and Marie Claire Magazine. Today, this carefully planned state- of-the-art expedition allows participants to travel where it was once unimaginable. If any of your questions remain unanswered, please don’t hesitate to call. We strive to fully prepare you for what to expect on your trip so you can spend your vacation thinking more about smelling the essence of a forest of old growth cedars or a field of Alpine wildflowers than whether or not you brought the right pair of shoes. The Terrain We Cover Rafting the Klinaklini River offers the adventurous traveller a bounty of images and experiences. Your rafting trip begins at the edge of the great interior plateau of British Columbia’s Chilcotin country, at Klinaklini Lake. This lake is a jewel encircled by pristine wilderness and it’s the perfect habitat for moose, grizzly bears, wolves, cougars and eagles. Enveloped by the peaks and canyons of the Coastal Range, you will be able to see Mt. -

Coulthard B.A., Mount Alison University, 2007 Supervisory Committee Dr. Dan J. Smith, (Department of Geography) Supervisor Dr. J. Gardner, (Department of Geography) Departmental Member Dr. T. Lacourse, (Department of Geography) Departmental Member iii Abstract Supervisory Committee Dr. Dan J. Smith, (Department of Geography) Supervisor Dr. J. Gardner, (Department of Geography) Departmental Member Dr. T. Lacourse, (Department of Geography) Departmental Member It has become increasingly clear that climate fluctuations during the Holocene interval were unusually frequent and rapid, and that our current understanding of the temporal and spatial distribution of these oscillations is incomplete. Little paleoenvironmental research has been undertaken on the windward side of the central Coast Mountains of British Columbia, Canada. Very high annual orographic precipitation totals, moderate annual temperatures regulated by the Pacific Ocean, and extreme topographic features result in a complex suite of microclimate conditions in this largely unstudied area. Dendroclimatological investigations conducted on a steep south-facing slope near Confederation and Franklin glaciers suggest that both mountain hemlock (Tsuga mertensiana) and subalpine fir (Abies lasiocarpa) trees at the site are limited by previous year mean and maximum summer temperatures. -

Using glacier extents and digital elevation models (DEMs) derived from aerial photographs and ASTER Accepted 10 November 2011 satellite imagery, we calculate changes in area, elevation, and volume of Tiedemann and Klinaklini glaciers. Available online 20 November 2011 Between 1949 and 2009, Tiedemann and Klinaklini glaciers lost approximately 10% of their area. The total area-averaged thinning of Klinaklini was 40.1±1.5 m water equivalent (w.e.) and total mass loss equaled Keywords: 20.24±1.36 km3 w.e., whereas Tiedemann Glacier thinned by 25.7±1.9 m w.e. and lost 1.69±0.17 km3 southern Coast Mountains glacier change w.e. of ice. We attribute lower observed rates of thinning at Tiedemann Glacier to thick debris cover in the mass balance ablation area. -

CLAGUE* Department of Earth Sciences, Simon Fraser University, 8888 University Drive, Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada V5A 1S6 *Corresponding author (e-mail: [email protected]) Abstract: Mountain rivers, like alpine glaciers, are sensitive indicators of climate change. Some rivers may provide a more complete record of Holocene climate change than the glaciers in their headwaters. We illustrate these points by examining the record preserved in the upper part of the alluvial fill in the Nostetuko River valley in the southern Coast Mountains, British Columbia (Canada). Glacier advances in the upper part of the watershed triggered valley-wide aggradation and complex changes in river planform. Periods when glaciers were restricted in extent coincide with periods of incision of the valley fill and floodplain stability. As many as 10 overbank aggradation units are separated by peat layers containing tree roots and stems in growth position. -
