A Preliminary Assessment of the Native Fish Stocks of Jasper National Park
A Preliminary Assessment of the Native Fish Stocks of Jasper National Park David W. Mayhood Part 3 of a Fish Management Plan for Jasper National Park Freshwater Research Limited A Preliminary Assessment of the Native Fish Stocks of Jasper National Park David W. Mayhood FWR Freshwater Research Limited Calgary, Alberta Prepared for Canadian Parks Service Jasper National Park Jasper, Alberta Part 3 of a Fish Management Plan for Jasper National Park July 1992 Cover & Title Page. Alexander Bajkov’s drawings of bull trout from Jacques Lake, Jasper National Park (Bajkov 1927:334-335). Top: Bajkov’s Figure 2, captioned “Head of specimen of Salvelinus alpinus malma, [female], 500 mm. in length from Jaques [sic] Lake.” Bottom: Bajkov’s Figure 3, captioned “Head of specimen of Salvelinus alpinus malma, [male], 590 mm. in length, from Jaques [sic] Lake.” Although only sketches, Bajkov’s figures well illustrate the most characteristic features of this most characteristic Jasper native fish. These are: the terminal mouth cleft bisecting the anterior profile at its midpoint, the elongated head with tapered snout, flat skull, long lower jaw, and eyes placed high on the head (Cavender 1980:300-302; compare with Cavender’s Figure 3). The head structure of bull trout is well suited to an ambush-type predatory style, in which the charr rests on the bottom and watches for prey to pass over. ABSTRACT I conducted an extensive survey of published and unpublished documents to identify the native fish stocks of Jasper National Park, describe their original condition, determine if there is anything unusual or especially significant about them, assess their present condition, outline what is known of their biology and life history, and outline what measures should be taken to manage and protect them. -

PINE VALLEY Mount Wabi to Solitude Mountain Northeastern British Columbia
BRITISHCOLUMBIA DEPARTMENT OF MINES AND PETROLEUMRESOURCES HoN. D.L. BROTHERS,Minister K. B. BLAKEY,Deputy Minister ~~ BULLETIN No. 52 GEOLOGY of the PINE VALLEY Mount Wabi to Solitude Mountain Northeastern British Columbia by J. E. HUGHES GEOLOGY OF THE PINE .VALLEY Mount Wabi to Solitude Mountain Northeastern British Columbia SUMMARY 1. The map-area covers the Pine Valley, in the Rocky Mountain Foothills of northeastern British Columbia, from latitude 55 degrees 30 minutes to latitude 55 degrees 45 minutes north. 2. The exposed rocks are Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous in age. The suc- cession (Ladinian to Cenomanian) is between 10,000 and 20,000 feet thick, and mostly of marine deposition. Most stratigraphic units thicken westward. 3. In the Triassic, the Grey Beds contain limestones, dolomites, siltstones, and sandstones; and the overlying PardonetFormation, argillaceous limestones with fossil shell beds of Halobia and Monotis. 4. The Fernie Group of Jurassic age consists of: thin limestone, interbedded shales and siltstones with cherty banding, the Nordegg Beds; followed by the Middle Shales; and in the upper part, interbedded shales, siltstones, and sandstone:;, the Transition Beds, which mark the change to Beaudette deposition. 5. The Beaudette Group of late Jurassic to early Cretaceous age has three formations: the Monteith, thick sandstones mostly, and with quartzites in the 'upper third part; the BeattiePeaks, interbedded shales, siltstones, andsandstones; and the Monach Formation,sandstones, with or without quartzite beds at the top. Facies changes and incomplete outcrops make it advisable to map Beaudette strata as an undivided unit to the west. 6. Coal measures overlying Beaudette strata are described by the term Crassier Group. -
Structural Geology of the Southern Livingstone Range
Meteoric fluid isotopic signatures of thrust-fault-related veins in the Livingstone Range anticlinorium and their significance for syn-deformational regional fluid migration Michael A. Cooley*, Raymond A. Price, John M. Dixon, and T. Kurtis Kyser Department of Geological Sciences and Geological Engineering Queen’s University, Kingston, Kingston, ON, K7L 3N6 [email protected] ABSTRACT δ13C and δ18O isotope values of calcite in veins and host rocks from thrust fault zones indicate that fluids with meteoric isotopic signatures were present along thrust faults and infiltrating the tip-lines of minor thrusts during the formation of fault-propagation folds in the Livingstone Range Anticlinorium of southwest Alberta. Isotope geochemistry of cross-fault veins indicates that formation fluids predominated within the transverse structures, implying that cross faults were not conduits for local downward infiltration of meteoric water. Meteoric fluids must have been flowing eastward along the major thrust faults from a recharge area in the topographically higher hinterland to the west during formation of the thrust and fold belt. The incursion of meteoric waters coincided with hydrocarbon migration as indicated by hydrocarbon residues within thrust- fault-related calcite veins. Introduction The Livingstone Range of the southern Alberta foothills comprises the easternmost surface exposures of Carboniferous rocks in the southern Canadian Cordillera (Fig. 1). The Livingstone Range is an anticlinorium that developed where the Livingstone thrust cuts up-section in its hanging wall from a regional detachment in the upper Palliser Formation, through the overlying Mississippian Rundle Group and younger strata to an upper detachment within the Jurassic Fernie Formation. The anticlinorium comprises two to three adjacent fault- propagation fold anticlines which contain thrust faults that die out upwards into the cores of the folds. -

Evaluation and Interpretation of Convolutional-Recurrent Networks For

Evaluation and interpretation of convolutional-recurrent networks for regional hydrological modelling Sam Anderson1, Valentina Radic1 1Department of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, V6T 1Z4, Canada 5 Correspondence to: Sam Anderson ([email protected]) Abstract. Deep learning has emerged as a useful tool across geoscience disciplines; however, there remain outstanding questions regarding the suitability of unexplored model architectures and how to interpret model learning for regional scale hydrological modelling. Here we use a convolutional-recurrent network, a deep learning approach for learning both spatial 10 and temporal patterns, to predict streamflow at 226 stream gauges across the region of southwestern Canada. The model is forced by gridded climate reanalysis data and trained to predict observed daily streamflow between 1979 and 2015. To interpret the model learning of both spatial and temporal patterns, we introduce two experiments with evaluation metrics to track the model’s response to perturbations in the input data. The model performs well in simulating the daily streamflow over the testing period, with a median Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE) of 0.68 and 35% of stations having NSE > 0.8. When 15 predicting streamflow, the model is most sensitive to perturbations in the input data prescribed near and within the basins being predicted, demonstrating that the model is automatically learning to focus on physically realistic areas. When uniformly perturbing input temperature timeseries to obtain relatively warmer and colder input data, the modelled freshet timing and intensity changes in accordance with the transition timing from below- to above-freezing temperatures. -
Cadomin and Jasper Areas Willem Langenberg and John Waldron
Field Guide to Selected Geological Sections of the Cadomin and Jasper Areas Willem Langenberg and John Waldron Edmonton Geological Society Field Trip Guide September 22-23, 2007 Introduction The Rocky Mountains can be divided into Foothills, Front Ranges, and Main Ranges as shown in the cartoon below (Fig. 1). Outcrops in the foothills are dominated by softer weathering Mesozoic rocks of the foreland basin: mainly sandstone and shale but also including conglomerates and coal. Most of the clastic rocks represent material eroded from earlier-formed parts of the orogen to the west, which was subsequently cannibalized as the thrustbelt advanced westward in late Mesozoic to early Cenozoic time. Locally in the foothills, the more resistant late Paleozoic carbonate rocks come to the surface in elongated ridges. Saturday's traverse will begin in the foothills of the Cadomin area and proceed southwest into the Front Ranges. In the Front Ranges carbonates dominate the landscape. These represent the late Paleozoic continental margin of the Laurentian continent, now sliced into multiple imbricated thrust sheets. Mesozoic clastics are confined to narrow valleys. On Sunday morning we will take the Yellowhead Highway further into the Front Ranges and eventually into the Main Ranges of the Rockies. In the Main Ranges, lower parts of the stratigraphy are preserved, including widespread outcrops of older, Early Paleozoic carbonates, clastics, and the underlying Proterozoic succession of the Windermere Supergroup. The structural style is different, too. Although thrust sheets are present, they are generally much larger in scale, and their dips are gentler. In addition, the rocks were more ductile when deformed, so that cleavage and folds are much more widely developed in the mudrocks.
