Public Advisory: Eastern Labrador Focus
of Geology Lecture
The Department of Natural Resources invites the public
to attend a free lecture, From Outcrop to Continent � a Geological
Odyssey through Eastern Labrador, Thursday, November 1, at 7:30 p.m.
at the Delta Hotel in St. John's as part of the Mineral Resources Review
2007.
The lecturer is Dr. Charles Gower, the 2007 recipient
of Canada�s Provincial Geologists Medal and project geologist with the
Geological Survey of Newfoundland and Labrador.
Against a backdrop of his personal field work since he
began crisscrossing eastern Labrador in 1979, Dr. Gower will draw on his
collection of photos, journals and stories to present a picture of over
a billion years of earth history for the region. Using everyday
analogies, this lecture promises to be fascinating and understandable to
professional earth scientists and members of the public.
