Abstract:
Kinbasket and Revelstoke Reservoirs are part of the Columbia River system in eastern British Columbia, Canada. Hydroelectricity from these large reservoirs represents about 30% of the province's generation capacity. Of interest to water use planning is the effect of reservoir operation on pelagic productivity. We address one small part of this question, namely, the supply of nutrients carried by inflows that plunge below the photic zone during the summer. Using an idealized water balance for the photic zone, three cases are considered: (1) a shallow outlet, (2) a deep outlet, and (3) no outflo

Abstract:
In northeastern British Columbia, a number of significant gas fields have been discovered in dolomitized Slave Point carbonates located along the edge of the mid‐Devonian barrier‐reef system. Reflection seismic techniques have been used extensively in exploring for these fields. A common exploration practice has been to detect the reef edge on seismic data and then to drill on isochron thins and structural highs close to this edge. The remaining reserves, however, are proving more difficult to find, and this exploration technique does not always guarantee that the Slave Point formation is dolo

Abstract:
Plankton nutrient limitation and deficiency were assessed in six coastal and four interior lakes and reservoirs in British Columbia. Ultimate nutrient limitation was defined as occurring over longer time scales (months to years) and represented the potential attainable biomass or yield. Proximate nutrient deficiency reflected plankton physiological status and, therefore, represented potential limitations of instantaneous growth rates. All lakes and reservoirs were considered to be ultimately P-limited according to total N to total P ratios (TN:TP). However, both P and N deficiencies were found

Total stratigraphic thickness of the Queen Charlotte Group is up to 1700 m. Sandstone and conglomerate dominate the succession and offer some petroleum reservoir potential. The Haida Formation (Albian) is a fining upwards, transgressive succession, which rests unconformably on older rocks. It consists of a basal planar and trough cross-stratified, pebbly sandstone to granule conglomerate unit up to 190 m thi

Abstract:
The Lower Triassic Montney Formation in northeastern British Columbia (NEBC) includes a thick succession (up to 260 m) of turbidite and deltaic strata that are important reservoir rocks. The succession was deposited from the distal shelf to foreshore. Discovery of gas reservoir rocks from turbidite and deltaic intervals has led to production in the Kahntah, Ring-Border and Chinchaga Fields. The Montney Formation in NEBC comprises seven lithofacies consisting of aeolian-sourced very fine-grained sandstones, siltstones and rare mudstone intervals. The lithofacies are represented by three

Watershed land use has a pervasive influence on a variety of properties within aquatic ecosystems including productivity and community composition. Long-term data, which are rare or absent for many lakes are crucial for taking or making management decisions. Paleolimnological approaches can provide long-term data. In this study, emphasis was placed on exploring how the traditional proxies can be applied in alternative ways as well as to evaluate novel tools to reconstruct water quality with contrasting watershed land uses.

Abstract:
<em>Abstract.</em>—The Upper and Lower Arrow lakes have undergone major anthropogenic changes. Dams were built below (Grand Coulee 1942), at the outlet (Keenleyside 1967), and above (Mica 1973 and Revelstoke 1983) the Arrow Lakes, and <em>Mysis relicta </em>were introduced in 1968. The reservoirs created behind the upstream dams act as nutrient traps, reducing the already naturally low levels of nutrients in the Arrow Lakes Reservoir. The objective of nutrient additions to the Arrow Lakes Reservoir was to replace nutrients trapped upstream and was driven by rapidly declining stocks of kokanee, a native landlocked sockeye salmon <em>Oncorhynchus nerka </em>and keystone species of this aquatic ecosystem. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Upper and Lower Arrow tributaries supported between 600,000–800,000 kokanee salmon spawners, but the numbers declined steadily through the 1990s to a low of 97,000 in 1997. As the number of kokanee decreased, no increase in size was observed, consistent with nutrient-limited conditions. Unlike its neighbor, Kootenay Lake, which is one of the most studied in British Columbia, the Arrow Lakes Reservoir had received little limnological attention. After an initial study of the limnology and trophic status in 1997 and 1998, a 5-year fertilization experiment was initiated in 1999 with seasonally adjusted nutrient (phosphorus and nitrogen) additions to the Upper Arrow Reservoir, in an effort to restore historic kokanee populations. Preliminary data from the first two years of fertilization, 1999 and 2000, show positive and encouraging trends in primary productivity, phytoplankton succession, zooplankton biomass, and the number, size, and fecundity of kokanee spawners. No significant changes have been observed in the water quality parameters measured, consistent with immediate utilization of nutrients in an oligotrophic system.

Abstract:
Abstract British Columbia (BC) has a significant oil & gas industry, with approximately 25,000 wells drilled in the province since the early 1900s. In the past few decades, the industry has changed from a balanced oil & gas production to activities dominated by unconventional gas production which is recovered by hydraulic fracturing. Concurrently, since 2000 there has been a shift from isolated vertical wells to pad-drilled horizontal wells. The older well stock at end-of-life combines with horizontal production wells and fractured reservoirs, the consequence of which is a growing wave
