PGO would like to acknowledge David Good and David Leng for their excellent work in putting together and presenting on the exploration geochemistry workshop that was held this Saturday, Nov. 23, 2019. The workshop gave participants a number of practical tools to help with their research or exploration project to better characterize the geochemistry of igneous rocks or magmatic sulphide that they are working on. Based on participants’ feedback, the quality of the workshop content was excellent and our speakers kept our participants engaged throughout the session. The workshop was delivered onsite in Toronto and via webinar. Based on the learnings we gleaned from the online experience, there is great potential to enhance PGO’s webinar offerings to include short courses and workshops. Keep subscribing to Field Notes and also visit www.pgo.ca regularly to see learning events hosted by PGO.

Deadline for submission of comments is Dec. 18, 2019
The Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) is proposing to amend the Taking Ground Water to Produce Bottled Water Regulation (O.Reg. 463/16) to extend the moratorium for 9 months, ending on Oct. 1, 2020. This will allow the ministry to complete its analysis of the water quantity review and to consult with the public on how water takings are managed before the moratorium ends. The proposed amendment is open for public comments. Have your say.

New technology called Hydragen is helping reduce the emissions from diesel engines on school buses and is now making its way through the mining sector.
It's a device that can be attached to any vehicle and the benefit is a cleaner burn by converting distilled water into hydrogen and oxygen that's then fed into the engine's air intake.
According to the company that's perfected it, the benefit is two-fold.

Abandoned mines often cause real environmental problems — but a former salt cavern deep below the picturesque town of Goderich may just hold the key to a cheaper, greener energy future in Ontario.
Toronto-based energy and technology company Hydrostor recently launched the first zero-emission advanced compressed air storage facility in the world, located on the grounds of a deserted solution mine salt cavern once used in the production of brine and table salt near the Maitland River.

Stuart and Carolyn Wright and their family work to keep the soil healthy on their dairy and cash crop farm, near Kenilworth, Wellington County.
The Grand River Conservation Authority honoured Stuart with an award for his conservation work. Stuart says “we use crop rotation, perennial forages, cover crops, manure and reduced tillage to improve soil health.” This nurtures the soil ecosystem with its fungi, insects, worms and all kinds of weird and wonderful soil critters.

University of South Florida geoscientists have successfully developed and tested a new high-tech shallow water buoy that can detect the small movements and changes in the Earth’s seafloor that are often a precursor to deadly natural hazards, like earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis.
The buoy, created with the assistance of an $822,000 grant from the National Science Foundation’s Ocean Technology and Interdisciplinary Coordination program, was installed off Egmont Key in the Gulf of Mexico last year and has been producing data on the three-dimensional motion of the sea floor.

The volcanic island of Kueishantao in northeastern Taiwan is an extreme habitat for marine organisms. With an active volcano, the coastal area has a unique hydrothermal field with a multitude of hot springs and volcanic gases. The acidity of the study area was among the highest in the world. The easily accessible shallow water around the volcanic island therefore represents an ideal research environment for investigating the adaptability of marine organisms, some of which are highly specialised, such as crabs, to highly acidified and toxic seawater.
