FOUR MARL DEPOSITS WITHIN THE SKEENA RIVER DRAINAGE (1031/16W, 103P/lW, 93M/SE)

Mineral Deposits of the Upper Kitsault River Area, British Columbia (103P/W)

Application of Microsatellite DNA Variation to Estimation of Stock Composition and Escapement of Skeena River Sockeye Salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka)

Microsatellite loci can be used to estimate spawning escapements of individual Pacific salmon populations returning to remote spawning locations throughout large river systems by analysis of appropriately weighted samples from test fisheries near the river mouth. Variation at six microsatellite loci (Omy??, Ots3, Ots3, Ots3, Ots3, and Ots3) was surveyed from approximately 1,700 sockeye salmon (...

Depositional Setting of Silver-Rich Quartz-Sulphate-Carbonate Deposits of the Upper Kitsault River Area, Northwest British Columbia

The Upper Kitsault River area lies approximately 23 to 30 km north of Alice Arm, in the Skeena Mining Division, British Columbia. Mineral occurrences are of three principal types: copper and gold-rich quartz-chlorite stockwork deposits, silver-rich quartz-sulphate-carbonate deposits; and molybdenum-rich quartz stockwork deposits (Alldrick et al., 1987). The first two types are hosted by lower J...

Marl Prairie Vegetation Response to 20 Century Hydrologic Change

We conducted geochronologic and pollen analyses from sediment cores collected in solution holes within marl prairies of Big Cypress National Preserve to reconstruct vegetation patterns of the last few centuries and evaluate the stability and longevity of marl prairies within the greater Everglades ecosystem. Based on radiocarbon dating and pollen biostratigraphy, these cores contain sediments d...

Paleoecology of Early to Middle Miocene Deposits (Guri Member) and Sedimentary Environment, SE Zagros Zone, Roydar, Iran

This research focusses on the facies distribution, paleoenvironment and paleoecology of the foraminifera of the Guri Member in the northern Bandar Abbas Hinterland located in the Roydar area of southern Iran. The Guri Member is 570 meters thick and composed of limestone, argillaceous limestone and marl. The distribution of the foraminifera in the study area indicates the existence of three bioz...
