Haida Gwaii
Author: Daryl W. Fedje
Publisher: UBC Press
ISBN: 0774841559
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 450
Book Description
The most isolated archipelago on the west coast of the Americas, inhabited for at least 10,500 years, Haida Gwaii has fascinated scientists, social scientists, historians, and inquisitive travellers for decades. This book brings together the results of extensive and varied field research by both federal agencies and independent researchers, and carefully integrates them with earlier archaeological, ethnohistorical, and paleoenvironmental work in the region. It imparts significant new information about the natural history of Haida Gwaii, also known as the Queen Charlotte Islands, and the adjacent areas of Hecate Strait. Chapters analyze new data on ice retreat, shoreline and sea level change, faunal communities, and culture history, providing a more comprehensive picture of the history of the islands from the late glacial through the prehistoric period, to the time of European contact, known to the Haida as the "time of the Iron People."

Book Description
The Upper Triassic sections outcropping on the Queen Charlotte Islands contain outstanding successions of conodont and radiolarian microfossils. This report focuses on the successions about the Carnian-Norian boundary at several key localities. This boundary may coincide with an interval of significant change in global fauna and flora, particularly in terrestrial habitats. The purpose of the study reported is to demonstrate faunal change that may potentially be used in global correlation and definition of the Carnian-Norian boundary, and thus contribute towards the resolution of historical events that date from that time. The report summarizes the radiolarian change within the boundary interval identified primarily by conodonts but supplemented by some molluscan data.

Book Description
This is a discount Black and white version. Some images may be unclear, please see BCCampus website for the digital version.This book was born out of a 2014 meeting of earth science educators representing most of the universities and colleges in British Columbia, and nurtured by a widely shared frustration that many students are not thriving in courses because textbooks have become too expensive for them to buy. But the real inspiration comes from a fascination for the spectacular geology of western Canada and the many decades that the author spent exploring this region along with colleagues, students, family, and friends. My goal has been to provide an accessible and comprehensive guide to the important topics of geology, richly illustrated with examples from western Canada. Although this text is intended to complement a typical first-year course in physical geology, its contents could be applied to numerous other related courses.

Ancient Landscapes of Western North America
Author: Ronald C. Blakey
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319596365
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
Allow yourself to be taken back into deep geologic time when strange creatures roamed the Earth and Western North America looked completely unlike the modern landscape. Volcanic islands stretched from Mexico to Alaska, most of the Pacific Rim didn’t exist yet, at least not as widespread dry land; terranes drifted from across the Pacific to dock on Western Americas’ shores creating mountains and more volcanic activity. Landscapes were transposed north or south by thousands of kilometers along huge fault systems. Follow these events through paleogeographic maps that look like satellite views of ancient Earth. Accompanying text takes the reader into the science behind these maps and the geologic history that they portray. The maps and text unfold the complex geologic history of the region as never seen before. Winner of the 2021 John D. Haun Landmark Publication Award, AAPG-Rocky Mountain Section
