Pre-Latornell Groundwater and Geology Workshop

Groundwater and Geology: Foundation for Watershed Planning

The Conservation Authority (CA) Geosciences Group and Conservation Ontario invited practitioners working in the geoscience sector to attend a ‘geoscience day’ highlighting on-going research and innovative approaches to geosciences policy and watershed planning.

Groundwater and Geology: Foundation for Watershed Planning featured presentations by experts on a range of geoscience topics. This pre-Latornell workshop was an exciting opportunity to learn what’s new in geoscience research and data collection and how this information can be utilized in the assessment of groundwater resources and policy development.

• Rick Gerber - Hydrogeologic Isotopic Tracer Studies south-central Ontario
• Mark Jensen - Introduction to Ontario Power Generation’s Proposed Deep Geologic Repository: Geoscientific Studies
• Susanne O’Hara - Sustainable Bedrock Aquifer Supplies for Ontario Communities
• Brewster Conant Jr. - Using Infrared Thermography and Temperature Methods to Characterize Groundwater Contributions to Surface Water
