The Chief Geologists or equivalent from each provincial and territorial Survey of Mineral Resources Division comprise the Committee. In anticipation of future devolution of mineral resource responsibilities for the northern territories, the Yukon and Northwest Territories governments were given observer status in 1985. The Committee provides a forum for discussion of those geological and mineral resource exploration and development issues that lie within the jurisdiction of the Provinces, and through contacts with private sector mineral oriented organizations maintains an effective and highly useful liaison with most of the components of the mineral industry. The Committee, through its individual members, is a major component of the National Geological Survey’s Committee, through which a formal communication channel has been established with the Geological Survey of Canada. Committee representation on the Geoscience Council of Canada provides an effective window to many other facets of the earth science community in Canada. Active participation in the annual convention of the Prospectors and Developers’ Association is maintained through a Provincial Day, during which activities in the provinces and regions as well as their resource potential are discussed, and through the Provincial Room in which each province and territory advertises to the mining and mineral exploration community activities and potential within its domain. The Committee meets twice a year: in March, just prior to the Prospectors and Developers’ Convention ; and usually in September in conjunction with the Provincial Mines Ministers’ Conference. Various mining, exploration and related mineral industry groups and federal agencies are invited to discuss issues of current interest with the Committee. A topic of high priority has been the maintenance, expansion and enhancement of Canada’s geoscience data base. Mineral exploration and development, land use planning, and geo- technical hazard evaluation, a growing concern as our country becomes more and more urbanized, are all dependent for success of this data base. Under the current economic restraint that affects all levels of the Canadian economy, the need to enhance the effectiveness of all geoscientific investigations, and to preserve and ultimately to make available both the results and data generated by such investigations has become more apparent. Thus, among the topics of concern to the Committee, ones which are regularly discussed with private industry, academic and federal communities are : (1) Computerization of the various types of data files that have been built up, and how these can be made available to potential users. (2) Capture and preservation of geological data, including drill core, produced by various industry activities, and data produced by geochemical and geophysical surveys. (3) Review of government supported geological programs to enhance their usefulness and relevance to private and public sector needs and to avoid, as far as possible, non-productive duplication of work. To further these goals at the individual survey level, Mineral Exploration Liaison Committees have been formed to improve communications between the various provincial

A Socio-Economic Evaluation of Sportsfishing Activity in Southern Alberta Interim Project Report INTROI)UCTION Recreational fishing is one of the most important recreational activities in Alberta. The report on Sports Fishing in Alberta, 1985, states that over 340,000 angling licences were purchased in the province and the total population of anglers exceeded 430,000. Approximately 5.4 million angler days were spent in Alberta and over $130 million was spent on fishing related activities. Clearly, sportsfishing is an important recreational activity and the fishery resource is the source of significant social benefits. A National Angler Survey is conducted every five years. However, the results of this survey are broad and aggregate in nature insofar that they do not address issues about specific sites. It is the purpose of this study to examine in detail the characteristics of anglers, and angling site choices, in the Southern region of Alberta. Fish and Wildlife agencies have collected considerable amounts of bio-physical information on fish habitat, water quality, biology and ecology.

Smol’kin 2 1 Geological Institute—Subdivision of the Federal Research Centre “Kola Science Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences”, 14 Fersman Street, 184209 Apatity, Russia 2 Vernadsky State Geological Museum of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 11/11 Mokhovaya Street, 125009 Moscow, Russia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +7-(902)133-39-95 Abstract: In 1990, the Sopcheozero Cr deposit was discovered in the Monchegorsk Paleoprotero- zoic layered mafic-ultramafic layered intrusion (Monchepluton). This stratiform early-magmatic deposit occurs in the middle part of the Dunite Block, which is a member of the Monchepluton layered series. The Cr2O3 average-weighted content in ordinary and rich ores of the deposit is 16.65 and 38.76 wt.%, respectively, at gradually changing concentrations within the rich, ordinary and poor ore types and ore body in general. The ores of the Sopcheozero deposit, having a ratio of Cr2O3/FeOtotal = 0.9–1.7, can serve as raw materials for the refractory and chemical industries. The ore Cr-spinel (magnochromite and magnoalumochromite) is associated with highly magnesian olivine (96–98 Fo) rich in Ni (0.4–1.1 wt.%). It confirms a low S content in the melt and complies with the low oxygen fugacity. The coexisting Cr-spinel-olivine pairs crystallized at temperatures ◦ from 1258 to 1163 C, with accessory Cr-spinel crystallizing at relatively low, while ore Cr-spinel at higher temperatures. The host rock and ore distinguish with widespread plastic deformations of ◦ Citation: Mokrushin, A.V.; Smol’kin, olivine at the postcrystallization phase under conditions of high temperature (above 400 C) and V.F.

  • Geology 222 Laboratory Project Layered Mafic Intrusions
    Geology 222 Laboratory Project Layered Mafic Intrusions Layered mafic intrusions present an unusual record of a natural crystallization experiment. In an ideal case, a magma chamber is filled with a mafic liquid of relatively low viscosity. Crystals of sufficient density that grow from this liquid settle to the bottom of the magma chamber as they grow. Layers of crystals are formed yielding a “magmatic sedimentary rock”. The first-formed crystals are on the bottom of the magma chamber and later-formed crystals are stratigraphically above earlier-formed crystals. If one looks at the compositions of the crystals in the layers, changes that occur during the solidification of the magma can be discovered. Actual layered mafic intrusions are rarely as simple as the idealized model. Plagioclase commonly sinks, rather than floats as its density suggests it would do. Crystal settling can be rhythmic rather than continuous. Density currents can develop and lead to cross-bedding. Some (intercumulus) liquid can be trapped as a pore fluid among the settled crystals and may possibly be squeezed out as the crystal layers are compressed. Additional batches of magma can be added to the magma chamber over time, changing the composition of the evolving liquid. The lab assignment is to look carefully at rocks from one layered mafic intrusions for which we have thin sections (Bushveld, Kiglapait, and Stillwater). You should describe fully three thin sections from the intrusion of your choice. Chose thin sections that are not similar to one another. Identify the minerals. Give a mode. Include in your report photomicrographs or sketches of textures that you see.

Email: [email protected] The Bushveld Complex in South Africa is the largest layered intrusion on Earth. Its upper part is known for huge resources of iron, tita- nium, vanadium and phosphorus. Associated with the layered character of the rocks, these resources are enriched at certain levels of the intrusion, which makes it important to understand the formation processes of those layers. In this paper we give an introduction and overview of recent debates and challenges. Key Words: layered intrusion, Bushveld, resources.

Cunjak, Ph.D., Dept. of Biology Examining Board: Tommi Linnansaari, Ph.D., Dept. of Biology, Chair Katy Haralampides, Ph.D., Dept. of Civil Engineering This thesis is accepted by the Dean of Graduate Studies THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW BRUNSWICK September, 2014 ©Peter W. Emerson, 2014 ABSTRACT Boulder clusters were placed at three sites with small, homogeneous substrate in the Little Main Restigouche River in northern New Brunswick, Canada, in late summer 2005 to improve the rearing habitat for pre-smolt Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). Population estimates were conducted at enhancement, control and reference sites between 2005-2007 prior to enhancement and for two years following enhancement to compare response of salmon parr. Age-2 parr density increased at enhancement sites following enhancement. During December 2005, a 25-year flood event and subsequent ice up and freshet in spring disturbed the study sites. A method was designed to interpret and rank boulder cluster stability degradation, and the data were compared with electrofishing estimates of abundance of salmon ages 0+, 1+ and 2+. Age 2+ parr abundance and biomass and age 1+ parr abundance were significantly higher at clusters ranked stable than at clusters ranked degraded. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I thank my supervisor, Dr.
