[BNS_members] Monthly Meeting Oct 17: The Amazing Geological History of Nova Scotia

[Caroline Beddoe]

Good evening, 

The Blomidon Naturalists' next monthly meeting is MONDAY OCTOBER 17TH.
We are delighted to have Sandra Barr giving a talk on the geology of
this area and region: THE AMAZING GEOLOGICAL HISTORY OF NOVA SCOTIA! 

Date: Monday October 17 

Time: 7:00 PM social with tea and treats (in-person); 7:30 PM start of
meeting 

Location: 

IN PERSON IN WOLFVILLE (Location TBA - details as soon as possible,
apologies! But save the date!) 

Or online on ZOOM (REGISTER HERE). [1] 

We learned a lot from our last hybrid meeting (and first attempt -
thanks for your understanding) and we will iron out some issues to
ensure a smooth experience for those in-person and those at home on
Zoom. And as always, the meeting will be recorded and shared afterwards.


Talk: 

Dr. Sandra Barr is a professor in Acadia's Earth and Environmental
Science Department (and recent recipient of the 2022 Bancroft Award by
the Royal Society of Canada). Sandra will give us a talk through time,
taking us on an illustrated tour of the geological history of Nova
Scotia, loosely linked to the new (2022) edition of the Atlantic
Geoscience Society's best selling book "The Last Billion Years - a
geological history of the Maritime Provinces of Canada".  It is based on
the rock record as preserved in Nova Scotia and will include basic
information about how we can know so much about events that happened
millions and even billions of years ago! 

Come learn the long history of this physical land with us. 

More details to come. 

Warmly, 

Caroline
