The annual Atlantic Geoscience Society Colloquium took place in Truro on February 6 and 7th. Acadia University was well-represented by eleven (!) student presenters, nine faculty/adjunct attendees, and several student attendees. Thank you to everyone who attended, who supported our presenters, and made it a fun, and highly educational event.
