Atlantic Geoscience Society

The Atlantic Geoscience Society Colloquium would not be possible without the incredible support of our sponsors. A heartfelt THANK YOU to these organizations for their commitment to fostering innovation and driving geoscience forward in Atlantic Canada.

Free public talk on Sunday, February 9th at the Museum of Natural History in Halifax, NS.

New Cliffs of Fundy video series now available for viewing on the AGS YouTube channel.

Maritime Geoscience Map App now available. AGS has developed an interactive web application that highlights areas of geological significance in Atlantic Canada. There are both English and French landing pages that link to the interactive map.

Results of a short pilot study I presented with @SedStrata today at the @AtlanticGeoS Colloquium: We trialed using laptops/phones to autograde parts of in-person labs to provide immed student feedback, save instructor time, & save paper. Spoiler: It works! youtube.com/watch?v=3M0DDx…

Big congrats to @tim_fedak for this year's @AtlanticGeoS Laing Ferguson Distinguished Service Award for "exceptional & altruistic contributions to Atlantic Geoscience Society &/or to foster public appreciation of Atlantic Geoscience over a long period of time". Well deserved!

Dr Anne-Marie Ryan was someone you know you could count on - a trusted advisor, always caring, always brilliant, and she is dearly missed by everyone @AtlanticGeoS
