Current Research In The Geological Sciences In Canada May 1985 April 1986

The present publication recording research in progress in Canadafrom May 1984 to April 1985 is the result of a survey conductedbetween January, 1985 and March, 1985. The research projectslisted in this compilation are being undertaken mainly withinfederal and provincial departments, and universities. Data onindustrial research was not received. Publications are listedunder the headings: areal mapping, environmental geoscience, geochemistry, geochronology, geological computer applications, geomathematics, geomorphology, geophysics, geotechnique, glaciology, hydrogeology, marine geoscience, mineral/energygeoscience, mineralogy/crystallography, paleontology, petrology, quaternary geology, remote sensing, sedimentology, stratigraphy, structural geology, and volcanology.

Presents research in progress in Canada between May 1986 and April 1987 within federal and provincial departments and universities and includes a general overview of scientific research activities in geological and allied sciences. Compiled from a survey conducted January-March 1987. Lists mapping projects that are 1:50,000 or more, and less than 1:50,000, by province. Lists types of work being done in the following areas: environmental geoscience; geochemistry; geochronology; geomorphology; geomathematics; geophysics; geotechnique; glaciology; hydrogeology; mineral/energy geoscience; mineralogy/crystallography; paleontology; petrology; quaternary geology; remote sensing; sedimentology; soil science; stratigraphy; structural geology; and, volcanology. Includes a list of reporting organizations, a list of grant awards in the earth sciences for 1986/7 and an index to researchers.

Short descriptions of research in progress are given, listedalphabetically by author/researcher under 24 major subjectheadings. A list of reporting organizations is given, along withgrant awards and a researcher index.
