PGO
PGO encourages its student members to ensure that they are on track in meeting the minimum knowledge requirements for P.Geo. designation. Student members who are close to completing a four-year B.Sc. degree in an area of geoscience are encouraged to apply for a Geoscientist-in-Training designation within six months of being awarded a university Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent institution/credential). When you do so, your first-year membership dues are free. Please note that the application fee still applies.
Being a GIT shows that you are serious about becoming a professional geoscientist and carries value for employers in a competitive job market.
As a GIT member, you can get assistance from PGO through review of, and feedback on, receiving the relevant work experience required to become a P.Geo. PGO will also make recommendations on how to address deficiencies if there are any.

From his geology lab at the University of Houston, Jonny Wu has discovered that a chain of volcanoes stretching between Northeast Asia and Russia began a period of silence 50 million years ago, which lasted for 10 million years. In the journal Geology, Wu, assistant professor of structural geology, tectonics and mantle structure, is reporting that one of the most significant plate tectonic shifts in the Pacific Ocean forced the volcanoes into dormancy.

The Lafarge Canada water-taking application put forward in June is the largest permit request the city has seen. If it’s approved, the company would be permitted to take up to 27.7 million litres of water a day — more than half of the city’s average daily demand of 47 million litres.
The company is looking to expand a gravel quarry located just beyond the western edge of the city and is applying to amend its existing water-taking permissions to add two new sites on the property.

Researchers have uncovered the first direct evidence of resident microbes in Kidd Creek Mine, a three-kilometer-deep copper and zinc mine in Ontario. The findings, published recently in Geomicrobiology Journal, confirm previous work indicating that ancient, sulfate-rich water in the region could support what researchers call “deep microbial life,” and add to growing evidence that there’s a vast biosphere thriving in the Earth’s crust that has little or no interaction with the surface.

New research suggests ground-nesting bees may be exposed to lethal levels of pervasive insecticides found in soil on farms across southern Ontario. University of Guelph environmental sciences professor Nigel Raine and PhD student Susan Chan examined the hoary squash bee that feeds on the nectar and pollen of squash, pumpkin, gourds and melon, and is a crucial pollinator for those crops.

“I have a lot of faith in the entrepreneurial capacity of Canadian business,” she said.

The ices of Greenland and Antarctica bear the fingerprints of a monster: a gigantic volcanic eruption in 539 or 540 A.D. that killed tens of thousands and helped trigger one of the worst periods of global cooling in the last 2,000 years. Now, after years of searching, a team of scientists has finally tracked down the source of the eruption.
