	Environmental change in Garibaldi Provincial Park, Southern Coast Mountains, British Columbia Geoscience Canada - Find ...
		We are reconstructing Holocene environments in Garibaldi Provincial Park, in the southern Coast Mountains of British Columbia, by examining a diverse set of paleoenvironmental records, including tree-rings, lake sediments, glacial landforms, and photographs.
		We are using a multi-proxy approach to reconstruct past precipitation and temperature in Garibaldi Provincial Park in the southern Coast Mountains north of Vancouver over the past several millennia.
		As glaciers in the southern Coast Mountains recede and, in some cases, disappear, the timing and magnitude of runoff may change significantly, affecting fish populations, power generation, and water supply.
