Volcanoes of BC Interior
Вставка

- Ancient and Quaternary volcanoes form an important part of the geology of the BC interior, and the framework for much of its scenic landscapes. One of the particularly important episodes of volcanism took place about 50 million years ago, forming what today is referred to as the Challis-Kamloops volcanic belt. This extensive belt of volcanic rocks extends from central British Columbia into the northwestern United States, and its timing is associated with a period of global warming referred to as the Early Eocene Climate Optimum (EECO). In fact, near Cache Creek, BC, the volcanic rocks o fthe Kamloops Group are interbedded with the McAbee Fossil beds containing fossils of plants and insects that required a warmer and wetter climate than today. What was the cause of this voluminous volcanism, what would these ancient volcanoes have looked like, did Eocene volcanism impact global climate, and why is the study of ancient volcanism important today? This presentation takes you on a virtual field trip through some of the key exposures of the Kamloops-Challis volcanic belt, addressing these important research inquiries along the way.
Thank you for this. More please. Your work is in concert with Nick from Central Washington University which is so awesome!
Wonderful - I really enjoyed the video and learning about some of the very complex geology we have here in BC. Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for the absolutely awesome video. Loved it. You did an excellent job. Hope you do more.
This was a real treat. You told an interesting geologic story in an enjoyable and easy to grasp manner while in the field with real-time analogues given for what we are seeing. Please make more, I'll keep watching.
Good Stuff, merci.
This was quite fascinating, i look forward to further "field trips"
Thank you so much for joining me. Please send me your questions and I will try to make another video.
Thank you for making this video, and teaching us more about British Columbia geology.
I loved your video! You are someone who I would really enjoy being with as a teacher and a mentor. Thank you for putting all of this together. Best wishes to you.
Very well done.
I've been on "Thomson Rivers University", hoping to find more geol video from you.
I cant find any.
Have you done other video? May be on an another site?
Any way thanks a lot

This is great! Fascinating and really well done. Thanks for sharing - I look forward to more field trips!
Thanks so much for joining the field trip. I'm delighted that you enjoyed the tour. We have others in the making.
Wonderful field trip!👏🏽
I'm so happy you could join me.
Nancy this was fantastic! I've missed your feildtrips, an this was just like being there!
Thank you for watching. I am so glad you enjoyed the field trip.
Thank you so much for sharing this great information! Super video :)
Thank you for joining the field trip
Absolutely fantastic presentation, very well explained along with the field trip. I have watched this around half a dozen times and enjoy how you explain things. Makes me want to learn more about our geologically unique province, thank you so much and am looking forward to more if possible
Wonderful field trip--I learned so much!
Thank you so much for joining the field trip.
So good!
Thankyou
Well that was fun. Thank you for wonderful field trip! It's Oct 21st and I heard that there was/is activity in this area. That's how I got here today. My quest continues to see if it's true!
This was amazing, I love the volcanism around the thompson and okanogan region
Thank you, this helped me understand the question I had about clay in my area, makes a lot more sense now!
Well done. After viewing the Thompson /Okanagan thru a Locomotive window for over 40 years the land forms you describe really resonate. I only wish I could have attended some classes while working.
More ! More! More!
Great post. Thank you for providing links to the book - Physical Geology
I learned so much from this video! Thank you for sharing
Thank you for joining the field trip.
so where was the vent that the lava came from? what is the story around salmon arm? is there anything around chase?
You are wonderfully enthusiastic Professor, hope I get to learn something from you in person some day . I am working at French bar , where the volcanic geology is very complex and concentrated . Huge lava tubes present on the side of the cliffs
I came across a 2 part BC report on the Fraser River, was surprised to learn at one point in time, it actually FLOWED NORTH!
50 ma.. is this from the accretion of siletzia?
