Did you know … that when the Laurentide Ice Sheet covered Canada only 22,000 yrs ago melted, stranded giant blocks of ice left behind were 100’s of metres to perhaps a kilometre thick. That is why Elk Island National Park looks like it does. buff.ly/2EtuyCu

Our new laser ablation detrital apatite thermochronology method paper just went online! A big advance for @UofC_Geoscience and the result of much hard work. doi.org/10.1016/j.chemgeo.20…

New paper on the #DetritalZircon provenance of the #NanaimoBasin looking at local forearc dynamics. This paper builds on great work by @rgenglert. @the_subtender kept #BajaBC speculation to a minimum, while @CambAdventure always wants more. doi.org/10.1130/L1138.1
