FERRIGNO U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY PROFESSIONAL PAPER 1386–J–1 The Rocky Mountains of Canada include four distinct ranges from the U.S. border to northern British Columbia: Border, Continental, Hart, and Muskwa Ranges. They cover about 170,000 km2, are about 150 km wide, and have an estimated glacierized area of 38,613 km2. Mount Robson, at 3,954 m, is the highest peak. Glaciers range in size from ice fields, with major outlet glaciers, to glacierets. Small mountain-type glaciers in cirques, niches, and ice aprons are scattered throughout the ranges.

Calgary, AB T3E 5S4 August 2001 PREFACE This report was prepared under the terms of Parks Canada contract #KKP 2064. The views expressed are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the policies of Parks Canada. This document may be cited as: Tremblay, M. 2001. Wildlife Corridors in the Lake Louise Area, Alberta: A Multi-Scale, Multi-Species Management Strategy. Prepared for Parks Canada. 168pp. i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY BACKGROUND Habitat fragmentation is a central issue in the Lake Louise area due to the presence of a naturally fragmented landscape coupled with high levels of human activity, a situation that is believed to be constraining the movements of wildlife in the area. Human influences in the Lake Louise area include four nodes of visitor activity (the Hamlet of Lake Louise, the Upper Lake area, the Lake Louise ski area, and the Moraine Lake area), two major transportation corridors (the Trans-Canada Highway and the Canadian Pacific Railway), several high volume secondary roads, a dense network of popular hiking trails, and dispersed human activity such as off-trail hiking and snowshoeing. Although a variety of studies have been carried out to further our understanding of wildlife habitat use and movements within BNP, there has been no attempt to synthesize information from multiple sources into a single consideration of wildlife corridors specifically for the Lake Louise area.

  • Hydrogeologic and Hydrochemical Framework of Indian Wells Valley, California: Evidence for Interbasin Flow in the Southern Sierra Nevada
    HYDROGEOLOGIC AND HYDROCHEMICAL FRAMEWORK OF INDIAN WELLS VALLEY, CALIFORNIA: EVIDENCE FOR INTERBASIN FLOW IN THE SOUTHERN SIERRA NEVADA by David V. Williams ABSTRACT The Indian Wells Valley is a desert basin of southeastern California located in the transition zone of the Sierra Nevada, Great Basin, and Mojave Desert. Previous conceptual models of the groundwater system suggest that the surrounding granitic rocks are unable to transmit or store significant amounts of water and have described Indian Wells Valley as a closed hydrologic basin with limited recharge and discharge. In contrast, a comprehensive analysis of hydrologic, hydrochemical, isotopic, and structural data of the Indian Wells Valley performed in this thesis indicate a more complex model. The revised paradigm of Indian Wells Valley is one of an open basin, wherein much of the groundwater recharge is derived from outside the topographic divide by way of a unique combination of interconnected faults and fractures serving as conduits for interbasin flow. Hydrogeologic analysis suggests the aquifer flux in one portion of the valley is more than five times precipitation-based estimates using the Maxey-Eakin method. This high volumetric flux is due to a steep hydraulic gradient, which was dismissed in previous studies as an alluvial fault acting as a flow barrier. However, this study found no geophysical or hydrologic evidence to support the presence of a flow barrier, corroborating the high calculated flux. Groundwater chemistry indicates seven major hydrochemcial facies distributed within the valley and the surrounding areas. For the most part, water types are consistent with chemical evolution common to this portion of the Great Basin, but data indicate a large volume of groundwater within the basin that is not derived from within the confines of the topographic watershed.

(403) 162 .. 1500 Prepared for: PARKS CANADA by Canadian Wildlife Service Edmonton MARCH 1985 ABSTRACT This compilation lists 315 annotated references to reports on the wildlife of Banff and Jasper National Parks. The references are listed by author alphabetically and the citation includes an annotation and list of keywords. The index identifies the reports that have each keyword. We recommend a more complete document be prepared when manpower and funding permit. i TABLE OF CONTENTS Page ABSTRACT i INTRODUCTION 1 FORMAT OF THE REPORT 1 ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY 3 INDEX 86 ii INTRODUCTION During the course of the ecological (biophysical) wildlife inventories of these two national parks, many references to wildlife reports were reviewed in various libraries and archives. Some references were used in the final report of the inventory, (Holroyd, G.L. and K. J. Van Tighem. 1983. Ecological [Biophysical] Land Classification of Banff and Jasper National Parks. Volume III: The Wildlife Inventory produced for Parks Canada by Canadian Wildlife Service, Edmonton. 691 pp.), and some were not. The references presented here, therefore, duplicate some from the Volume III report and include all those references that were reviewed and annotated but not used in the report. However, there are other references in the report which are not presented here. We recommend that these references be annotated and combined with this report to form a complete wildlife bibliography which can be compiled and distributed both electronically in an existing library catalogue and on paper.
