Canada THE SEDIMENT ACCUMULATION RECORD AT GLACIER-FED KINASKAN LAKE: IMPLICATIONS FOR CHANGES IN HOLOCENE HYDROLOGY AND CLIMATE IN THE UPPER ISKUT RIVER WATERSHED, BRITISH COLUMBIA Ms. Monique M. Stewart Masters of Science, Graduate Department of Geography University of Toronto, 2008 ABSTRACT Acoustic sub-bottom profiles, ~5 m vibra-cores and lake hydrology are used to reconstruct the sediment accumulation history in Kinaskan Lake of the Upper Iskut River watershed in north­ western British Columbia. The lake is dominated by turbidity currents in proximal regions, producing well-laminated sediments that accumulate at -4.4 mm/year. Overflows and interflows distribute silt and clay sediments to distal lake areas and accumulation decreases to ~2 mm/year, forming well-defined couplets that are interpreted as varves. Sediment accumulation chronologies cover approximately the last 2000 years (Neoglacial interval) and demonstrate distinct patterns of above-average (or increasing) sediment accumulation thought to be associated with wetter and/or warmer conditions. This high resolution accumulation chronology is compared with lower resolution and longer duration environment histories from nearby lakes. u ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to acknowledge the support and assistance of numerous people and organizations, including a generous grant from NSERC, without which this project would not have been possible. My thesis defense committee was composed of Dr. Joseph Desloges, Dr. Sarah Finkelstein and Dr. Bill Gough. Dr. Joseph Desloges, my thesis supervisor and instructor, provided direction and guidance in the field (note: this was my first camping experience), in the laboratory and throughout the writing process. I will forever be indebted to Dr. Desloges for offering me this incredible experience. Dr. Finkelstein, my supervisor as a teaching assistance for undergraduate field course GGR 390 and second defense committee member, graciously shared her paleoclimatology laboratory with me, while providing endless motivation. The third committee member, Dr. Gough, an expert in climatology, provided a unique perspective on my research and helped me to finalize this manuscript. Field assistance came from Melanie Grubb (University of Northern British Columbia) and from Margaret Klocker, Park Operator and was appreciated. Assistance in the laboratory results came from several sources. Mircea Pilaf helped open sediment samples. Toni Largo's analysis of 2004 Ekman cores from Kinaskan Lake, provided interesting comparison to the 2006 Ekman results, and both Toni Largo and Nicole Chow offered guidance in GIS applications. In several instances samples needed to be processed in external laboratories. The Geography Department at Queen's University and the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Toronto, offered laser particle size analysis. The samples sent to Queen's University were processed under the supervision of Dr. Robert Gilbert. At the University of Toronto, Sam Roshdi trained me on using the laser particle sizer so that I could conduct my own tests. For radiocarbon dates, samples of organic matter were sent to Dr. W.E. Kieser and Dr. R.P. Beukens at the Isotrace Laboratory of the Department of Physics at the University of Toronto. Geological provenance of sediment was determined using the XRF results generated by the laboratory of Dr. Mike Gorton, Department of Geology at the in University of Toronto. Finally, Gerald Romme and Marcel Fortin provided GIS assistance from their offices in the Map Library at the University of Toronto. Last, but not least, I would like to extend a warm "thank you" to my family; Clayton, Gabriele, Geneve and Ian, for always encouraging me to pursue my dreams, to my overseas partner, Cesar, for his patience, understanding and love, and to all of my wonderful friends.

Recently H. S. Bostock, of the Geological Survey of Canada, studied the physiography of the northern Cordilleran region; his report and maps are published CI I c Fig. 1. Rglief map of British Columbia. in Memoir 247 of the Geological Survey, Department of Mines and Resources, Ottawa. The divisions shown on the accompanying sketch, Figure 2, and the nomenclature used in the text are those proposed by Bostock. Most of the Province of British Columbia lies within the region of mountains and plateaus, the Cordillera of Western Canada, that forms the western border of the North American Continent. The extreme northeastern comer of the Province, lying east of the Cordillera, is part of the Great Plains region. The Rocky Mountain Area extends along the eastern boundary of the Province for a distance of 400 miles, and continues northwestward for an additional 500 miles entirely within the Province. The high, rugged Rocky Mountains, averaging about 50 miles in width, are flanked on the west by a remarkably long and straight valley, known as the Rocky Mountain Trench, and occupied from south to north by the Kootenay, Columbia, Canoe, Fraser, Parsnip, Finlay, Fox, and Kechika Rivers. Of these, the first four flow into the Pacific Ocean and the second four join the Mackenzie River to flow ultimately into the Arctic Ocean.

  • Holocene Tephras in Lake Cores from Northern British Columbia, Canada
    935 Holocene tephras in lake cores from northern British Columbia, Canada Thomas R. Lakeman, John J. Clague, Brian Menounos, Gerald D. Osborn, Britta J.L. Jensen, and Duane G. Froese Abstract: Sediment cores recovered from alpine and subalpine lakes up to 250 km apart in northern British Columbia con- tain five previously unrecognized tephras. Two black phonolitic tephras, each 5–10 mm thick, occur within 2–4 cm of each other in basal sediments from seven lakes in the Finlay River – Dease Lake area. The upper and lower Finlay tephras are slightly older than 10 220 – 10 560 cal year B.P. and likely originate from two closely spaced eruptions of one or two large volcanoes in the northern Cordilleran volcanic province. The Finlay tephras occur at the transition between deglacial sediments and organic-rich postglacial mud in the lake cores and, therefore, closely delimit the termination of the Fraser Glaciation in northern British Columbia. Sediments in Bob Quinn Lake, which lies on the east edge of the northern Coast Mountains, contain two black tephras that differ in age and composition from the Finlay tephras. The lower Bob Quinn tephra is 3–4 mm thick, basaltic in composition, and is derived from an eruption in the Iskut River volcanic field about 9400 cal years ago. The upper Bob Quinn tephra is 12 mm thick, trachytic in composition, and probably 7000–8000 cal years old. A fifth tephra occurs as a cryptotephra near the top of two cores from the Finlay River area and is correlated to the east lobe of the White River tephra (ca.

Declining metal prices resulted in the closure of the last producing mine in 1957, but in recent years extensive geophysical and geochemical surveys have been made by several major exploration com­ panies and new prospects have been discovered.
