CSEG DISTINGUISHED LECTURE TOUR: An Unconventional View of Geoscience
Dr. David Gray
Sr. Geophysical Advisor, Global Exploration, Nexen
Shale oil and gas production and “fracking” are with us to stay. We geoscientists need to understand how we can contribute to the “shale revolution.”
GAC Howard Street Robinson Medal Lecture: The Precambrian Secrets of Yukon
Derek Thorkelson
Department of Earth Sciences, Simon Fraser University
Most geologists in Canada regard the Canadian Cordillera as a Phanerozoic orogen consisting of fold belts and accreted terranes rich in precious and base metal deposits, and flanked by the modern Cascadia subduction zone. To the surprise of many, the orogen also preserves a rich Precambrian history that spans over a quarter of Earth history.
Clays, Faults and Orogeny
Dr. Ben van der Pluijm
Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of Michigan
Newly-formed, illitic clays are common in foreland fold-thrust belts, and the ages of fault-zone mineralization allow first-order constraints on the timing of regional deformation, fault weakening and fluid pathways. We briefly discuss our method of authigenic clay characterization and analysis, and focus on Ar-encapsulation dating.
WATROX and ESGA invite you to an Earth and Environmental Sciences student prof night. Come to the Grad House to meet your profs and have some complimentary snacks.
UN-Water's World Water Day tackles the water crisis by addressing the reasons why so many are being left behind. On this day, the Water Institute will join thousands from around the world in solidarity as we support and amplify World Water Day events and initiatives.
The Office of Research is hosting a workshop to help faculty learn how to navigate the broad research landscape, and develop a dynamic research strategy. A variety of topics will be covered such as: grant writing, research ethics, funding strategies, and intellectual property.
The traditional university science curriculum was designed to train specialists in specific disciplines. However, in universities all over the world, science students are going into increasingly diverse careers and the current model does not fit their needs. Advances in technology also make certain modes of learning obsolete.
Rhys Gwynne will be presenting their MSc Defence on the "Integration of Geochemical and Isotopic Analyses of Fracture Minerals and Fluids Assessing the Deep Geological Stability at Chalk River Laboratories Chalk River, Canada".
