  • 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.

  • Self-Guiding Geology Tour of Stanley Park
    Page 1 of 30 Self-guiding geology tour of Stanley Park Points of geological interest along the sea-wall between Ferguson Point & Prospect Point, Stanley Park, a distance of approximately 2km. (Terms in bold are defined in the glossary) David L. Cook P.Eng; FGAC. Introduction:- Geomorphologically Stanley Park is a type of hill called a cuesta (Figure 1), one of many in the Fraser Valley which would have formed islands when the sea level was higher e.g. 7000 years ago. The surfaces of the cuestas in the Fraser valley slope up to the north 10° to 15° but approximately 40 Mya (which is the convention for “million years ago” not to be confused with Ma which is the convention for “million years”) were part of a flat, eroded peneplain now raised on its north side because of uplift of the Coast Range due to plate tectonics (Eisbacher 1977) (Figure 2). Cuestas form because they have some feature which resists erosion such as a bastion of resistant rock (e.g. volcanic rock in the case of Stanley Park, Sentinel Hill, Little Mountain at Queen Elizabeth Park, Silverdale Hill and Grant Hill or a bed of conglomerate such as Burnaby Mountain). Figure 1: Stanley Park showing its cuesta form with Burnaby Mountain, also a cuesta, in the background. Page 2 of 30 Figure 2: About 40 million years ago the Coast Mountains began to rise from a flat plain (peneplain). The peneplain is now elevated, although somewhat eroded, to about 900 metres above sea level. The average annual rate of uplift over the 40 million years has therefore been approximately 0.02 mm.

  • The Origin of Adakites in the Garibaldi Volcanic Complex, Southwestern British Columbia, Canada
    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.
