Description: Exploration in Glaciated Terrain: Principles, Applications, and Hands-on Techniques – Led by Roger C. Paulen (Geological Survey of Canada), and Martin Ross (University of Waterloo)
This unique to KEG short course/field trip combination will encompass 2 days. The full day Short Course portion will take place on Monday, April 7, 2025 at the Coast Kamloops Hotel & Conference Centre. It will highlight on the importance of glacial sediment identification, identifying past ice flow movements, till sampling program design and methods, data sources available in British Columbia, a local successful case study by industry, mineral chemistry applications, and the applicability of LiDAR.
Day two (the full day field trip segment) will take place on Thursday, April 10, 2025 off-site with bus transportation provided. Day two will demonstrate ideal and not-so-ideal surficial materials for sampling, sample site selection, sampling techniques, various equipment, and what information should be recorded at each sample site. Other sites will include ice flow indicators, how to measure them, and how to determine flow direction.
This two-day* short course (Monday, April 7, 2025) and field trip (Thursday, April 10, 2025) will bookend the April 8-9 KEG 2025 Trade Show & Technical Sessions. Expected participants include industry geologists, prospectors, and geology students.
Inclusions: Day One – Morning and afternoon coffee breaks, buffet luncheon. Day Two – Bagged lunch/beverage, bus transportation to/from site from the Coast Kamloops Hotel & Convention Centre
