...E.A. Christiansen; E. Karl Sauer Abstract The Saskatoon Low is a collapse structure that formed as a result of dissolution of salt from the Middle Devonian Prairie Evaporite Formation. In this study, the collapse has affected the Up per Cretaceous Lea Park, Judith River, and Bearpaw formations...

...E. A. Christiansen Abstract A structural depression herein called the "Saskatoon. Low" is apparent on structural maps drawn on the top of the Lea Park Formation–Upper Colorado Group, on the bedrock surface, and on the uppermost till surface. The structure was probably formed by collapse as a result...

... ( 2001 ) who demonstrated that both collapse and till fill in the Saskatoon Low took place during the Late Wisconsinan Battleford glaciation. The carbonaceous and fossiliferous nature of the fill of the Pasqua Member indicates that these sediments are interglacial in age. The stratigraphic...

...S. A. Woods; R. G. Kachanoski; M. F. Dyck Abstract Knowledge of factors controlling the spatial and temporal variability of transport in the vadose zone is limited. The objective of this study was to quantify the transport of a tracer at the field scale after 34 yr of low transient flow under...

... of mean travel depth along the 10-m transect after 34 yr of transport was relatively low (CV = 4%), but not insignificant. The purpose of this paper is to examine, in detail, the pedon-scale spatial variability in the transport of a 34-yr-old chloride tracer applied to a layered, field soil near Saskatoon...

In 1915, stations were opened at Halifax, Nova Scotia, and Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, with the cooperation of Dal- housie University and the University of Saskatchewan, respectively (Hodgson, 1926). They also operated only low-gain, intermediate-period seismographs of mag- nification...

Microscopic examination of the sand fraction reveals that most commonly it is composed of quartz and feldspar, with some...

... has affected glacial strata in a structure called the Saskatoon Low. The earliest salt removal occurred before or during a pre-Illinoian glaciation, but the majority of salt was removed later, during the last, Late Wisconsinan, Battleford glaciation. Christiansen and Sauer ( 2001 ) use a schematic...

... in Manitoba being a long-term discharge site. We argue here that there was a major reversal in the regional-scale flow system of the Williston basin in response to Pleistocene glaciation. Christiansen (1967) argued that a collapse structure (the Saskatoon low, Fig. 1 ) formed between 18 and 11 ka...

... and the Saskatoon low, Saskatchewan, Canada, indicate that deep-seated salt dissolution and synsedimentary subsidence have been active over several periods from the Late Cretaceous to the late Pleistocene ( Christiansen 1971 ; Christiansen & Sauer 2001 ). In the Delaware Basin, New Mexico and Texas, USA...

Microscopic examinat ion of the sand fraction reveals that most commonly it is composed of quartz and feldspar, with some biotite, muscovite, pyrite, and chlorite. Clay minerals found...

... known as the Saskatoon low collapse structure (Fig. 9) formed between 18 and 11 ka in response to dissolution of the Prairie Evaporite. Christiansen (1971) also estimated the age of the Crater Lake collapse structure in southern Saskatchewan, which was interpreted by Gendzwill and Hajnal (1971...

These movements are not propagated very far along the coast nor perpendicular to it. At the stations...

... groundwater velocities in unfractured till are low: Shaw and Hendry (1998) , for example, estimate values of 0.5–0.8 m per 10 000 years near Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Porewater in weathered till is commonly enriched in tritium, oxygen-18, and deuterium, suggesting that the zone is hydrogeologically active...

..., but at greater distances (cores spaced 3–13 m apart), solute concentrations are significantly different. Comparatively low soil solute concentrations in old upland surfaces near Inuvik may be a result of progressive removal of soluble materials from the active layer and permafrost during periods of deeper thaw...

Epoxy resin cement appears to be a satisfactory solution to the problem, because it holds the grains, is inert towards standard index oils, isotropic, and easily obtainable. The epoxy resin has a refraction...
