  • Garibaldi Provincial Park 2010 Olympic Venue
    1 Garibaldi Provincial Park 2010 Olympic Venue Garibaldi Provincial Park, located in the traditional territory of the Squamish people, forms much of the backdrop to Whistler/ Blackcomb, site of the downhill events of the 2010 Winter Games. Sitting in the heart of the Coast Mountains, the park takes its name from the towering 2,678 metre peak, Mount Garibaldi. Garibaldi Park is known for its pristine beauty and spectacular natural features. Just 70 km north of Vancouver, the park offers over 90 km of established hiking trails, and is a favourite year-round destination for outdoor enthusiasts. Interesting Garibaldi Park Facts • The southern portion of Garibaldi Park is home to the Garibaldi Volcano, part of the Garibaldi Volcanic Belt and made up of Mount Garibaldi, Atwell Peak, and Dalton Dome. This stratavolcano, so named because of its conelike layers of hardened lava, rock and volcanic ash, last erupted 10,000 to 13,000 years ago under glacial ice. It is this event that is responsible for forming some of the fascinating geological features in the park, such as Opal Cone, the Table and Black Tusk. • The “Barrier” is a natural rock formation created by the volcanic explosion of Mount Price thousands of years ago; the lava created a natural dam for the melt streams from nearby glaciers. As a result Garibaldi Lake formed. The lake reaches depths of up to 300 metres in places and is rich in silt (or ‘rock flour’), which gives the lake its characteristic milky blue colour. www.bcparks.ca 2 Garibaldi Provincial Park 2010 Olympic Venue History In 1860, while surveying Howe Sound on board the Royal Navy ship H.M.S.

    The Origin of Adakites in the Garibaldi Volcanic Complex, southwestern British Columbia, Canada A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Master of Science In Geology University of Regina By Julie Anne Fillmore Regina, Saskatchewan November 2014 Copyright 2014: J.A. Fillmore UNIVERSITY OF REGINA FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES AND RESEARCH SUPERVISORY AND EXAMINING COMMITTEE Julie Anne Fillmore, candidate for the degree of Master of Science in Geology, has presented a thesis titled, The Origin of Adakites in the Garibaldi Volcanic Complex, Southwestern British Columbia, Canada, in an oral examination held on August 22, 2014. The following committee members have found the thesis acceptable in form and content, and that the candidate demonstrated satisfactory knowledge of the subject material. External Examiner: Dr. Martin Beech, Campion College Supervisor: Dr. Ian M. Coulson, Department of Geology Committee Member: Dr. Tsilavo Raharimahefa, Department of Geology Chair of Defense: Dr. Josef Buttigieg, Department of Biology ii Abstract The Garibaldi Volcanic Complex (GVC) is located in southwestern British Columbia, Canada. It comprises two volcanic fields: the Garibaldi Lake Volcanic Field (GLVF) in the north and the Mount Garibaldi Volcanic Field (MGVF) in the south. Petrographical and geochemical studies on volcanic rocks collected from the GVC have determined that they exhibit adakitic characteristics; these intermediate rocks range from basaltic andesite to dacite represented mainly by lava flows, domes and minor pyroclastic material. All the lavas exhibit evidence of magma mixing, which include sieve textured crystals, dehydration reaction textures, differently sized phenocryst populations, xenocrysts and xenoliths.

  • Glacier Fluctuations During the Past Millennium in Garibaldi Provincial Park, Southern Coast Mountains, British Columbia
    1215 Glacier fluctuations during the past millennium in Garibaldi Provincial Park, southern Coast Mountains, British Columbia Johannes Koch, John J. Clague, and Gerald D. Osborn Abstract: The Little Ice Age glacier history in Garibaldi Provincial Park (southern Coast Mountains, British Columbia) was reconstructed using geomorphic mapping, radiocarbon ages on fossil wood in glacier forefields, dendrochronology, and lichenometry. The Little Ice Age began in the 11th century. Glaciers reached their first maximum of the past mil- lennium in the 12th century. They were only slightly more extensive than today in the 13th century, but advanced at least twice in the 14th and 15th centuries to near their maximum Little Ice Age positions. Glaciers probably fluctuated around these advanced positions from the 15th century to the beginning of the 18th century. They achieved their great- est extent between A.D. 1690 and 1720. Moraines were deposited at positions beyond present-day ice limits throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries. Glacier fluctuations appear to be synchronous throughout Garibaldi Park. This chronology agrees well with similar records from other mountain ranges and with reconstructed Northern Hemisphere temperature series, indicating global forcing of glacier fluctuations in the past millennium. It also corresponds with sunspot minima, indicating that solar irradiance plays an important role in late Holocene climate change. Résumé : L’historique du Petit Âge Glaciaire dans le Parc provincial Garibaldi (sud de la chaîne Côtière, Colombie- Britannique) a été reconstruit en utilisant de la cartographie géomorphologique, des âges radiocarbone sur du bois fossile dans les avant-fronts, de la dendrochronologie et de la lichénométrie.

The purpose of the risk analysis is to quantify the risk resulting from Cheekeye River debris flows under existing conditions, and to illustrate the degree of risk reduction that would be provided by a large debris barrier (roughly 1.4 Mm3 volume upstream of the Highway 99 crossing). This report analyses and evaluates risk for three principal aspects. The first is debris flow risk to Highway 99 users at the Cheekeye River bridge crossing. Risk is determined for the length of highway that could be affected by debris flow impact.

RUST B.Sc, The University of Toronto, 1996 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES GEOLOGICAL SCIENCE DIVISION DEPARTMENT OF EARTH AND OCEAN SCIENCES We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA August, 1998 © Alison C.

I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the head of my department or by his or her representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada DE-6 (2/88) 11 Abstract This thesis explores the utility of ground-penetrating radar (GPR) in mapping and characterizing young pyroclastic deposits. In particular, laboratory measurements examine the relationship between porosity and dielectric constant of volcanic rocks. Simulations and field studies demonstrate how GPR data can be used to both image, and quantify, relative porosity variations in pyroclastic deposits. The laboratory results (Chapter 2) indicate a strong and definite relationship between total porosity and dielectric constant of dry, felsic to intermediate volcanic rocks. The trend formed by these data is remarkably tight and coherent, especially considering the samples derive from five deposits and two volcanoes.

  • Tk< Varsity Outdoor Club Journal
    Tk< Varsity Outdoor Club Journal VULUMC AAV lyOil ISSN 0524-5613 Tfo Umveuihj of fy&Uk Columbia Vancouver, Canada PRESIDENT STUDLY'S MESSAGE This year I've come across many names of old members of the past sixty years whose exploits in the mountains and elsewhere are well known. This is indicative of the vast history of the club, a history reflected in all aspects of club life, from the traditional trips to the Salty Dog Rag. This is the twenty-fifth year that the club has chosen to put down a part of that history in print and this issue should serve as a reminder to all members of the wealth of experiences inherent in the club. The journal however, as a permanent record of the club, is worthy of far more attention than it receives. This may be due partly to the character­ istic low profile that it has had with respect to both design and circulation. I hope therefore that the efforts and results of this year's journal committee set a standard to be repeated every year and not just every twenty- f i ve. This year, with almost three hundred members in the club, there has been a growth in popularity in the regular events as well as several exciting new projects. The rock school was a great success, with just under a hundred participants and much snow and ice expertise was passed on in three glacier schools. The highlights of the year though, were two slightly more tangible out­ lets of expertise and enthusiasm.
