GǾB ĘBFB Ward Simon Fraser University
Generalized Quaternary stratigraphy of Canadian Cordillera (BC/YT), ice sheet growth and decay, and maximum extent
Dr. O.B. Lian University of the Fraser Valley
Till classification and till formation with a focus on the subglacial environment and subglacial till
T. Ferbey British Columbia Geological Survey
Creating and using surficial geology maps and till potential maps; till sampling strategies in the Canadian Cordillera
Dr. A. Plouffe Geological Survey of Canada
Advances in indicator mineral studies, porphyry indicator mineral case studies, sampling methods, and QA/QC
S.A. Averill Overburden Drilling Management
Processing till samples for indicator minerals; case study Blackwater Au-Ag deposit
Exercise In groups, review bedrock and surficial geology, ice-flow history, till potential
