We are excited to celebrate Liam Girard, Curatorial Assistant at the Quartermain Earth Science Centre, who is participating in the PaleoNoma Workshop on Paleobotany!

The workshop provides specialized training in fossil plant taxonomy, nomenclature, and international data standards, knowledge Liam will bring directly back to the QESC as they work to review, identify, and catalogue our historic and unique paleobotany collection.

Liam is learning from an incredible international team of experts: Dr. Julia Gravendyck (University of Bonn), Dr. Steffen Wolters (Lower Saxony Institute for Historical Coastal Research), Dr. Petr Kuneลก (Charles University), and Dr. Lyudmila Shumilovskikh (University of Gรถttingen).

The workshop also includes training with the Neotoma paleoecology database, opening exciting possibilities for making our collections more accessible for museum exhibits, teaching, student research, and researchers around the world.

Even better, Liam plans to document what they learn so that future QESC curators can continue building on this work.

Congratulations, Liam! We canโ€™t wait to see what you bring back to the QESC!

๐ŸŽ‰ Dr. Dave Keighley presented his ongoing research with colleagues from Dalhousie University on the potential for carbon capture and storage (CCS) in the Bay of Fundy region. This work investigates how geological formations beneath Atlantic Canada could play an important role in reducing carbon emissions and supporting a more sustainable energy future.

๐Ÿ”Congratulations to Dr. Keighley and his collaborators for sharing their important research on this international stage!

๐ŸŽ‰ Congratulations to Dr. Babak Ghane on the successful defense of his PhD in Earth Sciences at the University of New Brunswick! ๐ŸŽ‰

On July 31, Babak successfully defended his dissertation, "Mineral Prospectivity Mapping in Southwestern New Brunswick: Integration of Geochemical, Geophysical, and Geological Datasets in Predictive Modelling."

Babak's research combined geological, geochemical, and geophysical data with advanced predictive modelling techniques to identify areas with high mineral potential in southwestern New Brunswick. His work contributes to the development of innovative exploration tools that can help guide the discovery of future mineral resources.

Congratulations to Babak, his supervisor, Dr. David Lentz, and the entire research team on this outstanding achievement! We wish him continued success in the next chapter of his career. โ›๏ธ๐ŸŒŽ๐ŸŽ“
