    Conceptualizing the Hydrogeothermal System at Sloquet Hot Springs on Unceded St'at'imc Territory in Southwestern British Columbia

    Conceptualizing the hydrogeothermal system at Sloquet Hot Springs on unceded St'at'imc territory in southwestern British Columbia by Ashley Van Acken Bachelor of Science, Vancouver Island University, 2017 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE in the School of Earth and Ocean Sciences Ashley Van Acken, 2021 University of Victoria All rights reserved. This thesis may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. ii Supervisory Committee Conceptualizing the hydrogeothermal system at Sloquet Hot Springs on unceded St'at'imc territory in Southwestern British Columbia by Ashley Van Acken Bachelor of Science, Vancouver Island University, 2018 Supervisory Committee Tom Gleeson, Department of Civil Engineering Supervisor Kathryn Gillis, Department of Earth, and Ocean Sciences Departmental Member Dante Canil, Department of Earth, and Ocean Sciences Departmental Member Catherine Hickson, Tuya Terra Geo Corp. Outside Member iii Abstract Geothermal research in the southern Canadian Cordillera has typically focused on hot spring systems and predicting maximum temperatures at depth, estimating fluid circulation depths, and investigating the distribution of hot spring systems and their relation to major geological features that often control thermal fluid flow. Detailed fieldwork to develop local and regional conceptual models of these systems has rarely been conducted and to our best knowledge, never in partnership with a First Nations. The scope of this project was to work collaboratively with the local First Nation to conduct detailed structural, hydrologic and hydrogeologic fieldwork to develop local and regional conceptual models of Sloquet Hot Springs, on unceded St'at'imc territory.
