      ESCI 3713 Environmental Geology Field School

      Applied knowledge acquired in earlier courses to investigate the processes governing groundwater and surface water quality at Fire Road Mine, located near Minto, NB. Work was done in small groups where hydrogeological, geochemical, and geophysical instrumentation and techniques were used. This was done to assess environmental problems associated with acid rock drainage and the effectiveness of the treatment at the mine site. Lab work consisted of: analysing data, drafting maps, and preparing a report on the findings with recommendations. Show less
