For the first time since 1999 the Geological Association of Canada is holding its annual meeting in Sudbury
Hundreds of geologists and earth scientists from around the world will take an up-close and in-depth look at Sudbury later this month during the annual meeting of the Geological Association of Canada, Mineralogical Association of Canada, and the Society for Geology Applied to Mineral Deposits.
Lesher said having the conference as a face-to-face event is important because there are so many changes to the science and an annual conference is one of the best ways to stay up to date. "Like most sciences that evolve pretty quickly, you saw how even during the pandemic, how things changed almost on a daily basis. There are hundreds or thousands of geological articles coming out every year.
Following the pandemic trend, Lesher said some of the presentations will be online, but he said most of the geologists have signed up for the live presentations. Only a handful, roughly 25 participants, have opted for online presentations. Lesher said the talks will consist of classic geology studies presented by "the old grey-haired wise ones" along with newer cutting-edge topics presented by new graduate students on the front-end of geology research.
