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.
The eight-day event from May 23-31 is to be hosted by Laurentian University’s Harquail School of Earth Sciences with more than 500 delegates from 13 countries around the world.
The theme of the event is “Discovering Ancient to Modern Earth”.
“Laurentian University, and Sudbury, are ideal hosts for this year’s meeting,” said Michael Lesher, chair of the conference’s local organizing committee.
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.
