The APGO in partnership with Geoscientists Canada has started rolling out the QP Short Course for Students — Your Career in Public Reporting in Ontario. This one-day short course was developed by Geoscientists Canada for university students to improve basic awareness about resources reporting and the role of the Qualified Person (QP). A big "thank you" to David Leng, P.Geo., APGO Councillor, who volunteered his time to be the course presenter at Lakehead University in February 2019 and more recently at Western University — See photo. Many thanks also to John McBride, P.Geo. (APGO Councillor), Dr. Peter Hollings (Lakehead University), and Dr. David Good and Dr. Elizabeth Steyn (Western University) for the opportunity to have APGO provide this course to students. Additional dates for the course will be made available soon.

Government of Ontario
Ontario's Government is working for the people to make the province's roads safer, commutes easier and communities healthier. The province has opened its "one-window" online source for applicants of the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program so that municipalities and Indigenous communities can easily nominate projects for funding under the program's first stream.
"When it comes to delivering core services that matter to people, our government is putting people first," said Monte McNaughton, Minister of Infrastructure.

Over the last 540 million years, the Earth has weathered three major ice ages — periods during which global temperatures plummeted, producing extensive ice sheets and glaciers that have stretched beyond the polar caps.
Now scientists at MIT, the University of California at Santa Barbara, and the University of California at Berkeley have identified the likely trigger for these ice ages.

For the first time, researchers have simulated the process of surface roughness creation. This is a step forward in understanding the emergence of fractal characteristic of rough surfaces on many scales ranging from atomic to geological scales. The perspectives of their findings are far reaching. Controlling surface roughness is essential to the performance and durability of virtually all engineering applications. It may even be a step forward in earthquake prediction.

Every March, Laurentian University celebrates Research Week, a time when we reflect on the past year, and all the amazing achievements from our researchers. It's also a time when our researchers get to present their work to the Laurentian community.
And you don't have to look far to find those success stories.
Laurentian is a smaller university, but punches way above its weight when it comes to research output. In 2018, Laurentian was Canada's top undergraduate university for total research income. The university pulled in more than $32 million in research income that year.

It's a relatively small action, but the hope is it will have a big, lasting impact on Georgian Bay.
So far, Georgian Bay Forever and the University of Toronto Rochman Lab have secured one-third of the volunteers needed for a two-year microfibre study in Parry Sound.
Rochman lab student Lisa Erdle has been researching microplastics in water and fish since 2012 and said she's concerned with what she's been finding.

Nuclear power is grabbing the attention of the mining industry, to the point where there is a real possibility there could be portable reactors powering mines in less than 10 years.
That was the news delivered at a first-of-its-kind panel discussion at the Prospectors and Developers Association's (PDAC) annual convention, in Toronto on March 3.

Access to safe drinking water is essential to human life. Researchers have the capacity to significantly advance science to help deliver safe drinking water under a constantly changing environment such as floods and wastewater spills to rivers and lakes.
Dr. Susana Kimura-Hara, PhD, assistant professor in the Faculty of Science, has an interest in keeping our drinking water safe. She is doing that by researching how compounds derived from human activities (i.e., industrial and municipal wastewaters) may be removed or transformed by water treatment processes.
