Department of Cim / moo^i^y The University of British Columbia 2075 Wesbrook Place Vancouver, Canada V6T 1W5 E-6 BP 75-51 1 E ABSTRACT The Chilliwack River flows through the Cascade Mountains until reaching a narrow gorge near Vedder Crossing where it flows onto the Fraser Lowlands and eventually meets the Fraser River. Below Vedder Crossing, the river is actively building an alluvial fan by depos• iting its sediment load of gravel and sand. This deposi• tion has resulted in frequent channel shifts over the fan surface with the most recent migration occurring around 1894 when the river shifted down Vedder Creek. Over the last century the Vedder River has been undergoing very complex changes in response to changes in the incidence of severe floods, changes in sediment supply and interference from river training.

Smith (Department of Geography) Supervisor Dr. David Atkinson (Department of Geography) Departmental Member Dr. Tobi Gardner (Victoria Capital Regional District) Outside Member ii Abstract Supervisory Committee Dr. Dan J. Smith (Department of Geography) Supervisor Dr. David Atkinson (Department of Geography) Departmental Member Dr. Tobi Gardner (Victoria Capital Regional District) Outside Member The hydrology of southwestern British Columbia is influenced by the region’s mountainous topography and climate oscillations generated from the Pacific Ocean. While much of the region is characterized as a temperate rainforest, recent summers are defined by record-breaking droughts that focus attention on the threat to regional water supply security likely to accompany future climate changes. The limited length and distribution of hydrological records in southwestern British Columbia provide poor context for resource managers tasked with developing policy and water management strategies. The purpose of the dissertation was to describe long-term variability in several key hydroclimatic variables and hydroecological interactions that may be used in updated water resource policy and management strategies.
  • Cheam Range, Lady Peak, North Face

    Cheam Range, Lady Peak, North Face

    AAC Publications Cheam Range, Lady Peak, North Face Canada, British Columbia, North Cascades On May 7, Brette Harrington and Marc-André Leclerc climbed the north face of Lady Peak (2,178m) in the Cheam Range, near Chilliwack. This was likely the first ascent of the face, whose steepest section gains about 500m and is comprised of loose but compact volcanic rock. The two spent 13 hours on the climb, which involved thin ice and technical dry tooling on slabs, often with marginal protection (11 long pitces, 5.8 M4 80°). They topped out at sundown and scrambled to the summit before descending easy slopes to the west. In January 2016, the same pair made the probable first ski descent of the northeast couloir on Lady Peak. – Dougald MacDonald, with information from Marc-André Leclerc The following first-person account of this ascent, by Marc-André Leclerc, unfortunately was received too late for publication in the print edition of AAJ 2018: On May 7, Brette Harrington and I climbed a line, right of center, on the imposing north face of Lady Peak in the Cheam Range, the same range of mountains where I essentially began my true mountaineering apprenticeship, with an ascent of Welch Peak, at 11 years old. The area is well known for very loose rock, and the more technical routes are often done in winter or spring as frozen mixed routes. The north face of Lady Peak is the steepest in the range and could be considered the last major face in the range to be climbed, as the unclimbed north face of the Still, while appealing, is quite small in comparison.

Signed Pauline Dieras Date: 05/03/2013 i Abstract Oxbow lakes are of high ecological importance due to the number and the diversity of habitats they provide. They are created after the abandonment of meanders and subsequent sediment infilling leads to their progressive terrestrialisation, taking from a few months up to several centuries. Nonetheless, little is known about oxbow lake terrestrialisation processes, sediment composition, or why such a disparity exists in lakes’ longevity. To understand the controls on oxbow lakes alluviation, field observations, remotely sensed data and GIS analyses were combined. Sediment transfers in oxbow lakes were documented by topographic and sampling surveys of sites in France and Wales.

REPORT CONCURRENCE General Manager City Manager The General Manager concurs with the The City Manager concurs with the recommendation of this report. recommendation of this report. SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE Major flooding of West Sumas Prairie and the Washington State cities of Everson, Sumas and the unincorporated areas of Whatcom, occurred in November 1990 when the overflow from the Nooksack River flooded into the Sumas River basin. The Nooksack River Overflow Flood Mitigation Plan (“Study”) is one of the next steps to address the international and transboundary issue from the United States (“US”) into Canada. The work was recently completed with funding from the National Disaster Mitigation Program; the Province supported the work in a technical advising role. This report provides a high-level summary of the findings and recommends next steps. BACKGROUND Major flooding of West Sumas Prairie and the Washington State cities of Everson, Sumas and the unincorporated areas of Whatcom, occurred in November 1990 when the overflow from the Nooksack River flooded into the Sumas River basin. A Nooksack River International Task Force (NRITF) was established in response to the flooding. The Task Force comprises members from both Canada and the US.
