APGO
It was a full house at APGO's first networking event of the year held in Peterborough. In partnership with the Kawartha Region Earth Scientists and Engineers and Metallurgists (KREEM), the event showcased an excellent presentation by Wayne Ross (Coral Rapids Power) and Gillian MacLeod (OPG) highlighting a successful partnership between the Taykwa Tagamou Nation (TTN) and the Ontario Power Generation (OPG). The event resulted in building positive relationships and fostering trust and cooperation.
APGO thanks Wayne and Gillian for sharing their success story of collaboration and APGO President Zen Keizars, P.Geo. for bringing them in to speak at the event. APGO also thanks all KREEM members and other attendees for making this networking event a great experience for everyone.

Easter Island's famous statues, large human figures as high as 33 feet carved from the local quarried volcanic rocks, have long puzzled visitors and scientists. When a French expedition visited the island in 1786, almost 60 years after its discovery by Europeans, the artist Duché de Vancy depicted some of the monumental statues, called moai, still standing on their ahu, large stone platforms.

The world's oceans could harbor an unpleasant surprise for global warming, based on new research that shows how naturally occurring carbon gases trapped in reservoirs atop the seafloor escaped to superheat the planet in prehistory.
Scientists say events that began on the ocean bottom thousands of years ago so disrupted the Earth's atmosphere that it melted away the ice age.

New data collected by University of Wyoming researchers and others point to a newly defined mantle domain in a remote part of the Southern Ocean.
UW Department of Geology and Geophysics Professor Ken Sims and recent Ph.D. graduate Sean Scott are co-authors of an article, "An isotopically distinct Zealandia-Antarctic mantle domain in the Southern Ocean," published by the scientific journal Nature Geoscience in January.

The Sudbury Star
Sudburians are used to feeling the shudders from underground blasting and seeing the night sky lit up from slag, but mines of the future could be much more subtle and efficient.
"One of the things we're looking at is mining with no tailings," said Carl Weatherell, executive director of the Canada Mining Innovation Council, at the recent Beyond Digital Transformation conference.

The fate of abandoned mines is a familiar problem for those living in communal spaces, with common rooms and shared kitchens: "Who is going to clean up this mess?" and "Who is going to pay for the damages?"
Public lands have the same problem when people dump trash in the bush to avoid paying landfill fees. But cleaning up industrial brownfields, such as the mercury-laden sediments in the English-Wabigoon River near Grassy Narrows First Nation in northwestern Ontario, is a far bigger problem than collecting litter.

It wasn't a dream, the ground underneath the Sudbury area has been shaking.
Two quakes in two days, the latest one measuring as high as 3.6 on the Richter scale, enough to rattle windows and nerves, but not much more.
David Wood is a rock engineer. "It's something to be cognizant of, but not scared of." said Wood.
And he should know.
He's an expert in the mechanics of rock and knows exactly what's triggering these tremors.

Woodstock Sentinel-Review
Ingersoll's wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) was recognized as the project of the year by the Ontario Public Works Association recently in Mississauga.
The multi-year project began in 2013 and saw upgrades to some areas of the play and the full demolition and replacement of other areas.
The project was recognized in the Historical Restoration and Preservation category for efforts to preserve the existing 1974 plant infrastructure, while reducing the footprint and impact on the environment, according to a release from Oxford County government.

A team from the University of Waterloo was already working on pilot projects, mostly in northern Ontario, relating to "the management of mine waste and the attenuation of agricultural waste," even before it was invited to enter the George Barley Water Prize competition.
That competition, funded by the Everglades Foundation of Florida, is offering a top prize of $10 million for the best solution to the global phosphorus problem.
