Geology of British Columbia by Sydney Cannings,Richard Cannings,JoAnne Nelson Pdf

This book tells the story of the province’s geology and the history of its living creatures. The first edition of Geology of British Columbia,, with its accessible but rigorous science, struck a chord with readers. Since it was first published, theories about plate tectonics and the geological history of British Columbia have evolved, and this new edition reflects the current thinking. This book also features updated content throughout, seven new maps, and a number of new photographs. A brand new appendix lists and describes key geological sites in British Columbia, adding a field-guide component to this informative book that will engage readers and compel them to go see these rocks for themselves.

Physical Geology by Steven Earle Pdf

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.

Geology of the Midway-Cassiar Area, Northern British Columbia (1040, 104P) by John Allan Bradford,JoAnne Lee Nelson,British Columbia. Geological Survey Branch,British Columbia. Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources Pdf

The Midway-Cassiar project area covers approximately 3,000 sq km in the Cassiar Mountains of northern British Columbia, between the Dease River and the Yukon border near Rancheria. This study began in 1986 as one of several regional mapping projects to produce detailed geological maps of the area. This report describes the history of exploration and mining in the area and previous geological work; general geology; structural geology and metamorphism; and economic geology.

Bedrock Geology of the Germansen Landing - Manson Creek Area, British Columbia (94N/9, 10, 15; 94C/2) by Filippo Ferri,British Columbia. Geological Survey Branch,David M. Melville,British Columbia. Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources Pdf

Mapping in the Manson Creek-Germansen Landing area was undertaken to provide a detailed geological database for a belt of rocks long known to host lode gold and base metal occurrences. The project produced 1:50,000-scale geological maps for all or part of map sheets 93N/9, 93N/10, 93N/15, and 94C/2; revised the mineral inventory database; placed known mineral occurrences within a geological framework; and augmented existing coverage or initiated new surveys in areas lacking previous coverage. The report describes the geographic setting and framework and exploration history; lithologic units; structure; metamorphism; economic geology; and geological synthesis.
