Ottawa 2025: Gac–Mac–iah–Cnc Joint Annual Meeting Field Trips

The Rideau Canal serves as a focal point for the 2025 GAC–MAC–IAH–CNC Joint Annual Meeting, held May 11-14 at the University of Ottawa. This event offers diverse field trips, including pre-conference excursions that explore the geological heritage of central Canada, from the Cambro-Ordovician Potsdam Group in the Ottawa Embayment to the Sudbury Impact Structure in Ontario. One notable trip examines the stratigraphic archive of the Ottawa Embayment, revealing insights into rift reactivation, climate change, and eustatic rise during the early Ordovician transgression of Laurentia. Additionally, a collections tour provides access to significant geological repositories, such as those at the Canadian Museum of Nature and the Geological Survey of Canada. These field trips aim to showcase the rich geological layers of Ottawa while addressing broader questions about regional geology and heritage conservation.
