The Suquash Coalfield, Vancouver Island

This report is part of an ongoing project, begun in IYX7, drain the district. Most of the coalfield is covered by till which limits exposures to the showline, rivers and roadcuts. Climate is fairly mild and wet, and snowfall is common to update knwledge of the coal basins of Vancouver Island. Limited information exists pertaining to coelmeasures of the Squash crudfield or snh-basin (the terms c...

LITHOPROBE-southern Vancouver Island: Cenozoic subduction complex imaged by deep seismic reflections:• Discussion

Clowes et al. presented an informative article on the results of seismic reflection experiments conducted along four lines for LITHOPROBE on southern Vancouver Island. The various reflections indicated in the profiles, which are distributed as deep as the Mohorovicic discontinuity, formed the basis for proposing various scenarios for the tectonic development of the crust. Two of these hypothese...

LITHOPROBE-southern Vancouver Island: Cenozoic subduction complex imaged by deep seismic reflections•

The LITHOPROBE seismic reflection project on Vancouver Island was designed to study the large-scale structure of several accreted terranes exposed on the island and to determine the geometry and structural characteristics of the subducting Juan de Fuca plate. In this paper, we interpret two LITHOPROBE profiles from southernmost Vancouver Island that were shot across three important terrane-boun...
