1) Assessing Marine-Derived Nutrient and Contaminant Delivery to Quesnel Lake via Sockeye Salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka)
Bob Carlson (University of Georgia)
Abstract
Under the guidance of Dr. Aaron Fisk and Dr. James Peterson of the University of Georgia,
USA, I am assessing the
delivery of nutrients and contaminants to Quesnel Lake
via sockeye salmon for my undergraduate thesis. With the help of the Quesnel
River Research Centre (QRRC) staff and the Canadian government, I was permitted
to sample in the fall of 2005. The knowledge the QRRC staff possess pertaining
to the catchment area was an intricate part in making my study a success. In
this pilot study, I sampled sockeye (Oncorhynchus nerka), lake trout
(Salvelinus namaycush), rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), mountain whitefish
(Prosopium williamsoni), burbot (Lota Lota), and forage fishes.
3) Metamorphism and Structure of Penfold Creek Area, near Quesnel Lake, British Columbia
C.J.N Fletcher and HJ Greenwood (University of British Columbia)
Abstract
The Quesnel
Lake area lies within the
Omineca Crystalline Belt, and is underlain by the northern extremity of the
Shuswap Metamorphic Complex. Closely spaced and steeply dipping isograds mark
the margins of the metamorphic belt. In the Penfold Creek area only one and
one-half miles separate the biotite and sillimanite isograds. Related to this
sharp increase in metamorphic grade there is a marked change in the fold style.
In the chlorite zone are similar folds, showing a strong axial-plane cleavage, and
tight refolded isoclines dominate in the sillimanite zone. Three periods of
deformation and two periods of prograde metamorphism have been recognized, with
the first metamorphic period being associated with Phase 2 deformation and the
second being post-Phase 2.
