Undergraduate student, Logan Clancy, has recently received a grant from a local organization known as the Friends of Frontenac Provincial Park, to support Logan in creating a geologic map of Frontenac Provincial Park as part of her honours thesis.

In Logan’s words:

On May 1^st, the GEOL 301 and GEOL 401 field trips departed from Miller Hall, the first time the courses have run in more than 2 years.

The five-day field trips focused on the sedimentological response to the changing tectonic environment during the Ordovician Taconic Orogeny.
