Natural history and geological evolution of the Jemseg Grand Lake Watershed - a timely story

En-ligne

How did coal come to be available in Minto, but not in Jemseg? How did the unique Grand Point Bar extending a kilometre into Grand Lake arise? The water is very deep (> 20 m) on both sides of the bar and the bar is almost entirely exposed in the summer during low water. Why is the Portobello Creek National Wildlife Area so prone to flooding during the spring freshet compared to other areas around it? How did 300 million year old fossils come to be in the rocks around Grand Lake? Join this webinar by Toon Pronk, a professional geologist, and hear the fascinating story of how the Jemseg Grand Lake watershed and the lower Wolastoq ecosystem arose. What might the future watershed look like? Questions are encouraged, both before the webinar via email (to [email protected]), and during the webinar itself.
