Welcome to Halifax for the 2022 GAC-MAC-IAH-CNC-CSPG Joint Meeting

Join us in Halifax from May 15 – 18, 2022 for the Annual Meeting of the Geological Association of Canada (GAC), Mineralogical Association of Canada (MAC), the International Association of Hydrogeologists – Canadian National Committee (IAH-CNC), and the Canadian Society of Petroleum Geologists (CSPG). This meeting coincides with the 50th anniversary of the Atlantic Geoscience Society, the conference host organization. The conference promises a diverse program including symposia and special sessions, field trips, and short courses related to a wide variety of geoscience disciplines in a hybrid format with in-person and virtual components.

CCUEN Session
Title:  Building Linkages and Crossing Fissures Between the Geosciences and Environmental Studies/ Sciences (Drop-in Workshop)

From academic conferences to professional societies to the organization of Canadian university departments, the fields of geosciences and environmental studies/ sciences have drifted further apart over the past decade. This is despite their mutual interest in earth systems and environmental change—and the need to find collaborative, multidisciplinary approaches to work towards reconciliation, address climate change, and develop clean energy solutions. Join us for this drop-in session and workshop and share your thoughts and ideas on the challenges of collaboration and coordination between the geosciences and environmental studies/sciences in academic organizations and conferences. Is there an appetite among your peers for more cross-disciplinary engagement or is the push for greater specialization? What are some of the biggest hurdles to greater integration? What strategies have you or your academic departments utilized to strengthen relationships?  Session organized by the Canadian College and University Environmental Network.
