This full-day event offered by GRADventure, the Library, the Writing and Communication Centre and other campus partners will offer graduate students and postdoctoral fellows an overview of the world of academic publishing.
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.”
Networking is a key skill that gives students the opportunity to connect with professionals in their fields of interest.
Join the Earth Sceicne Graduate Association (ESGA) for a fun afternoon of curling and costumes at Westmount Golf & Curling Club. All levels of players are welcome. Equipment and orientation will be provided.
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.
