Abstract
The Banff Hot Springs is an iconic location with a long and storied history, having been first found and used by indigenous peoples. In 1883, Canadian Pacific Railway workers found the springs, which led to the development of Banff National Park and tourism in the Canadian Rockies. But the geologic history encompassed in the rocks of the Banff area extends back more than a billion years. In Understanding the Banff Hot Springs through Karst Hydrogeology, Chas Yonge looks at the Banff Hot Spring system from a new perspective: that of karst. Karst landforms are created by dissolution of rock, which leads to some of the most beautiful landscapes on the planet. This karst perspective leads to some very different conclusions regarding the nature of the hot springs. For example: How old is the thermal water? How far has it travlled underground? And how extensive are its pathways? Anyone with an interest in the science behind the Banff Hot Springs and exploring the local geology and landscape of the Canadian Rockies will find this book the perfect answer to their curiousity. Featuring a foreword by Arthur N. Palmer, Professor of Hydrogeology, Emeritus, at State University of New York. As of a few years ago, Chas Yonge was the former owner and operator of Canmore Cave Tours, offering interpretive tours underground. He has been an enthusiastic caver for almost 50 years, taking him all over the world. Since earning a PhD in karst paleoclimatology, he has applied isotope studies to karst, culminating in a number of publications. He has been an adjunct professor at the University of Calgary and is currently a fellow of the Royal Canadian Geographic Society. (From Amazon website)
