Ever wonder what a #DayInTheLife at the Ministry of #Mines looks like? We're highlighting the many roles that make up our ministry. For today’s #ThisIsMines story, we learn about Grant Hagedorn’s journey as a Quaternary #Geoscientist with @ONgeology: lnkd.in/gTC839cH

The extensive notes that we offered the participants of the PDAC 2024 short course on exploration methods in glaciated terrain has finally been reviewed, edited, laid out, and published as GSC Open File 9210. The Open File is available here: doi.org/10.4095/pbmy2d…

I don’t know how many glacial geos are still here, but I’m trying to get the word out reg graduate research opportunities in my group for next year. Please distribute as you see fit. Some details can be found here (a few more will likely be added soon): earthstrata.org/opportunities

Nicely polished and striated outcrops, including curved grooves/striations, on the Niagara escarpment (Kelso Conservation area).

@GeoBrentatlarge Yikes! Glad you’re ok. Take good care of yourself.

Did not have having a heart attack on my bingo card. A little scary. This is in emergency. Put in a couple of stints after this. Hopefully that solves things!

My second @NRCanScience video is out! Learn about why and how the @GSC_CGC goes about mapping the land surface we live on! Thanks to @JoelScience for his creative flair, editing, and capturing my humour! Thanks also to @JesseyRice and P-M Godbout!! m.youtube.com/watch?v=mHydIM…

The Canadian Quaternary Association #CANQUA joint with @CGRG_GCRG will be meeting next August (18-21) in Regina. Please consider proposing a special session (by Nov 30) and attending! Field trips on southern Alberta Ice Streams, Cypress Hills, and Prairie Soils. See attached.

Glad to have had the opportunity to do some collaborative research in beautiful Charlevoix (great food and microbreweries should be in the acknowledgments!) Seismic Site Characterization in the Charlevoix Region, Québec …ienceworld-org.proxy.lib.uwaterloo.ca/ssa/srl/articl…

@UWscidean @uwscience Thank you Bob for your excellent leadership and for all the support over those 8 years. I enjoyed working w you on grad studies related matters and more! All the best for the next chapters of your career!

This is my last tweet as @uwscidean, signing off after 8 incredible years leading @uwscience. It’s been a privilege working with our faculty, staff and students. Grateful to all the people who contributed to our collective success. Starting tomorrow, follow me at @lemieuxSCI

@GeoBrentatlarge We’ll be in that area after Inqua!

In Alberobello, with the Trulli houses. Aka Smurf houses. Must say that these smurfin houses are pretty smurffing amazing. This is the one we are staying in.

I am recruiting for a new post-doc to join our team working on Holocene peatland paleoecology and carbon accumulation in the Hudson/James Bay Lowlands. Details here: utpaleolab.wordpress.com/contact/ #peatTwitter #paleoclimate #carbonsinks #wetlands
