Paraglacial geomorphology of Quaternary volcanic landscapes in the southern Coast Mountains, British Columbia
An important paradigm in geomorphology is paraglacial sedimentation, a phrase first used almost 40 years ago to describe reworking of glacial sediment by mass wasting and streams during and after continental-scale deglaciation. The concept has been extended to include nonglacial landforms and landscapes conditioned by glaciation. In this paper we apply the paraglacial concept to volcanoes in so...
متن کاملLate Holocene environmental change at treeline in the northern Coast Mountains, British Columbia, Canada
An integrated stratigraphic, paleoecological, and geochronological study of lake and fen sediments just beyond the terminus of Berendon Glacier provides insights into late Holocene climate, vegetation, and glacier change in the northern Coast Mountains of British Columbia. Cores collected from two small lakes in the foreland of Berendon Glacier and pits dug in a nearby fen record Little Ice Age...
متن کاملStratigraphic evidence for multiple Holocene advances of Lillooet Glacier, southern Coast Mountains, British Columbia
Holocene lateral moraines in the Coast Mountains of British Columbia are commonly composed of multiple drift units related to several glacier advances. In this paper, we document lateral moraine stratigraphy at Lillooet Glacier in the southern Coast Mountains. Five tills, separated by laterally extensive paleosols and layers of large woody debris, were found in three cross-sectional exposures t...
متن کاملGeothermal gradients in continental magmatic arcs: Constraints from the eastern Peninsular Ranges batholith, Baja California, México
In continental arcs the extension of geothermal gradients derived from shallow crustal levels to depth predicts widespread melting at pressures that are inconsistent with seismic studies. Numerical models of low-pressure metamorphism in continental arcs suggest that these extrapolations are problematic because magmatic advection is the dominant mechanism of heat transport in these terranes rath...
متن کاملPorphyry Cu-Au Deposits of the Iron Mask Batholith, Southeastern British Columbia
The Iron Mask batholith is lo cated 10 km south west of Kamloops (Fig. 1). It is the source of Cu-Au-Ag pro duced from por phyry de pos its such as Afton, Cres cent, Pothook, Ajax West and Ajax East, as well as struc tur ally con trolled Cu-mag ne tite veins (Iron Mask, Makaoo, Grey Mask). Cur rently, it is the tar get of ex plo ra tion for Cu-Au-Ag-Pd min er al iza tion by DRC Re sources at th...
