Borehole Geophysics and Petrophysics

Various methods offered by borehole geophysics and petrophysics for drilling to increase the probability of striking significant mineralization.

Fossils – see Paleontology

Geochemistry

The study of the distribution and amounts of chemical elements in rocks, minerals, soils, fluids and gases in the Earth.

GeoConnections

Providing Canadians with on-demand access to geographic information (e.g. maps, satellite images) and related services and applications.

GeoGratis

Access to geospatial data for all of Canada.

Geology, Surficial

Description of the types and distributions of unconsolidated sediments across the landscape. Collected data is useful for mineral exploration, sand and gravel production, hazard assessment and land-use planning.

Geology, Urban

Urban geology provides engineers, planners, decision makers and the general public with the geoscience information required for sound regional planning in densely populated areas.

Glaciology

Investigating glaciers, glaciation, and the nature and impact of past and future climates in the Arctic, Western Canada and the world.

Groundwater

The Groundwater Mapping Program responds to the increasing need for scientific advice in the management of Canada's water resources.

Hydrogeology

Information on hydrogeology research.

Paleontology

This study of life in past geological times based on the examination of fossil remains of plants and animals is applied in many diverse ways to geological mapping, research and mineral exploration.

Remote Sensing

Find out about the national service for reception, processing, archiving and dissemination of remotely sensed data.

Volcanoes of Canada

Canada has examples of almost every type of volcano. Learn about Canadian volcanoes and volcanology (the study of volcanoes).
