Atlantic Geoscience Society Colloquium 2025!
The annual AGS Colloquium took place in Dartmouth on February 7 and 8. The Department was well represented by students and faculty. Congratulations to all our student presenters; Jesse, Dylan, Tiernan, Hayley, Bella, and Abbey, and thank you to all the students and professors who supported them. Presenters and attendees learned a lot, made new connections with fellow students across Atlantic Canada, and were inspired to contribute to their Atlantic Geoscience community.
A huge thank you to the Cheslock Fund in EES which helps to support student attendance at events like this one!
