  • Snowpack signals in North American tree rings

    Open AccessBethany Coulthard, Bethany L Coulthard et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    Climate change has contributed to recent declines in mountain snowpack and earlier runoff, which in turn have intensified hydrological droughts in western North America. Climate model projections suggest that continued and severe snowpack reductions are expected over the 21st century, with profound consequences for ecosystems and human welfare. Yet the current understanding of trends and variability in mountain snowpack is limited by the relative…

  • Latest Pleistocene and Holocene behaviour of Franklin Glacier, Mt. Waddington area, British Columbia Coast Mountains, Canada

    Open AccessBryan J Mood, Dan J SmithARTICLEThe Holocene2015Citada por: 1Referências: 20

    Franklin Glacier is an 18-km-long valley glacier that originates in a broad icefield below the west face of Mt. Waddington in the central British Columbia Coast Mountains, Canada. Radiocarbon-dated wood samples from the proximal faces of lateral moraines flanking Franklin Glacier show that the glacier expanded at least nine times since 13,000 cal. yr BP. A probable Younger Dryas advance of Franklin Glacier at 12,910–12,690 cal. yr BP followed the…

  • Tree-ring derived Little Ice Age temperature trends from the central British Columbia Coast Mountains, Canada

    Open AccessKara J Pitman, Dan J SmithARTICLEQuaternary Research2012

    Most glaciers in the British Columbia Coast Mountains reached their maximum Holocene extent during the Little Ice Age. Early- and late-Little Ice Age intervals of expansion and retreat fluctuations describe a mass-balance response to changing climates. Although existing dendroclimatic records provide insights into these climatic fluctuations over the last 400 yr, their short durations prohibit evaluation of early-Little Ice Age climate variabilit…

  • Climate and glacier mass balance trends from ad 1780 to present in the Columbia Mountains, British Columbia, Canada

    Open AccessLisa J Wood, Dan J SmithARTICLEThe Holocene2012Citada por: 1Referências: 1

    Climate and glacier mass balance trends from 1780 to present within the Columbia Mountains, British Columbia, Canada, were investigated using tree-ring data. Annually resolved ring width, maximum density and maximum cell wall thickness chronologies were constructed from increment core samples of Engelmann spruce ( Picea engelmannii), mountain hemlock ( Tsuga mertensiana) and subalpine fir ( Abies lasiocarpa) trees collected in Glacier and Revelst…

  • Dendroglaciological reconstruction of late-Holocene glacier activity at White and South Flat glaciers, Boundary Range, northern British Columbia Coast Mountains, Canada

    Open AccessKate Johnson, Dan J SmithARTICLEThe Holocene2012Referências: 7

    Holocene glacier activity in the northern British Columbia Coast Mountains, Canada, is described following investigations in the recently deglaciated forefields of White and South Flat glaciers spilling from the Cambria Icefield. Glacially overridden stumps and detrital wood was radiocarbon and dendrochronologically dated to describe an advance between ad 250 and 650. Expansion and thickening of White Glacier by ad 765 resulted in creation of an …

  • Dendroglaciological investigations of mid- to late-Holocene glacial activity in the Mt. Waddington area, British Columbia Coast Mountains, Canada

    Open AccessBethany Coulthard, Dan J Smith et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2012Citada por: 1Referências: 9

    Dendroglaciological investigations near Mt. Waddington in the central British Columbia Coast Mountains provide an enhanced perspective of Holocene glacial activity. Field investigations at Confederation, Franklin, and Jambeau glaciers led to the discovery of subfossil wood mats encased in glacial deposits and glacially sheared stumps buried beneath till. Radiocarbon-dated wood collected from valley-bottom and lateral moraine sites at Confederatio…

  • Mid-Holocene glacier expansion between 7500 and 4000 cal. yr BP in the British Columbia Coast Mountains, Canada

    Open AccessJill E Harvey, Dan J Smith et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2012Citada por: 1Referências: 12

    The mid-Holocene behaviour of five glaciers in the British Columbia Coast Mountains was reconstructed from radiocarbon ages and stratigraphic analysis. Subfossil wood evidence at Canoe, Fyles, Jacobsen, Tchaikazan and Icemaker glaciers suggests these glaciers were expanding into standing forests prior to 6630, 4900 and 4200 cal. yr BP. Stratigraphically constrained woody detritus at Fyles Glacier records the progradational history of a Gilbert-ty…

  • Extending the Place Glacier mass-balance record to AD 1585, using tree rings and wood density

    Open AccessLisa J Wood, Dan J Smith et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2011

    Recognizing that climate influences both annual tree-ring growth and glacier mass balance, changes in the mass balance of Place Glacier, British Columbia, were documented from increment core records. Annually resolved ring-width (RW), maximum (MXD), and mean density (MD) chronologies were developed from Engelmann spruce and Douglas-fir trees sampled at sites within the surrounding region. A snowpack record dating to AD 1730 was reconstructed usin…

  • Extreme Sea Surge Responses to Climate Variability in Coastal British Columbia, Canada

    Dilumie S Abeysirigunawardena, Dilumie Abeysirigunawardena et al.ARTICLEAnnals of the Association of…2011Referências: 23

    This article presents a statistical investigation of the spatial and temporal changes of extreme sea surges in response to climate variability in coastal British Columbia. The study was based on an investigation of in situ hourly tide gauge data spanning the interval from 1950 to 2007 at eleven tide gauges in the region. The characteristics of the recorded extreme sea surges were parametrically modeled by the generalized extreme value distributio…

  • Geomorphology of snow avalanche impact landforms in the southern Canadian Cordillera

    Open AccessALEXIS L JOHNSON, Dan J SmithARTICLECanadian Geographies /…2010Referências: 24

    Snow avalanche impact landforms (SAILs) are typically elliptical‐shaped depressions bounded by an arcuate ridge located at the base of avalanche paths. The geomorphology of these features is controlled by the topography of the avalanche path, the availability of unconsolidated debris in the impact area and the ability of the avalanche impacts to displace the available debris in the direction of avalanche flow. Ground‐based snow avalanches move de…

  • Tree-Ring Dates for the Maximum Little Ice Age Advance of Kaskawulsh Glacier, St. Elias Mountains, Canada

    Open AccessAlberto V Reyes, Brian H Luckman et al.ARTICLEARCTIC2009

    A dendroglaciological study at Kaskawulsh Glacier provides the first calendar dating of a Little Ice Age glacier advance in the northeast St. Elias Mountains of Yukon Territory. Ring series from white spruce trees, Picea glauca (Moench) Voss, that had been sheared, tilted, and killed by deposition of till at the glacier’s terminal moraine were cross-dated with a millennium-length ring-width chronology developed at a site near the south end of Klu…

  • Little Ice Age’ proxy glacier mass balance records reconstructed from tree rings in the Mt Waddington area, British Columbia Coast Mountains, Canada

    Open AccessSonya J Larocque, Dan J SmithARTICLEThe Holocene2005Referências: 2

    The intention of this research was to explore whether dendroclimatological relationships could be used to reconstruct long-term proxy records of ‘Little Ice Age’ glacier mass balance changes in the southern Coast Mountains of British Columbia. Tree-ring width chronologies from the Mt Waddington area were used in concert with historical glacier records to construct models spanning the past 450 years. The approach was to build models that were base…

  • Dendroglaciological Evidence For A Neoglacial Advance Of the Saskatchewan Glacier, Banff National Park, Canadian Rocky Mountains

    Chris Wood, Dan J Smith et al.ARTICLETree-Ring Research2004

    Seventeen glacially sheared stumps in growth position and abundant detrital wood fragments were exposed by stream avulsion at the terminus of the Saskatchewan Glacier in 1999. The stumps lay buried beneath the glacier and over 5 m of glacial sediment until historical recession and stream incision exposed the 225- to 262-year-old stand of subalpine fir, Englemann spruce and whitebark pine trees. Crossdating and construction of two radiocarbon-cont…

  • Progress in Canadian Geomorphology and Hydrology 1996–2000

    Open AccessHOUSTON C SAUNDERSON, Dan J Smith et al.ARTICLECanadian Geographies /…2000Referências: 225

    Since 1996, a broad range of publications has been produced by Canadian geomorphologists and hydrolo‐gists. These publications have been distributed in journals with national and international circulations. Although there remains a major focus on the study of observable processes in fluvial, aeolian, coastal and slope environments there is also a strong, historical component to explanations oflandforms, landform assemblages and sedimentary sequen…
