LITHOPROBE

BACKGROUND LITHOPROBE is a national, collaborative, multidisciplinary (geological, geophysical, and geochemical) earth science research program that was created to answer fundamental questions about the nature and evolution of the lithosphere beneath Canada and its surrounding oceans. The activities of LITHOPROBE, involving earth scientists from universities, industry, and federal and provincial governments, are coordinated through the Secretariat, located at the University of British Columbia. The Department of Geology and Geophysics at the University of Calgary is the site for the LITHOPROBE Seismic Processing Facility (LSPF), the national data archive centre for all deep crustal reflection and refraction seismic data acquired under the LITHOPROBE project.

ACTIVITIES IN THE YEAR 2000 • At this facility in the past year, newly-acquired deep crustal reflection seismic data from the Slave Northern Cordillera Lithosphere Evolution (SNORCLE) transect for seismic lines 2a, 2b and 3 were processed to completion. Results of processing were presented at the LITHOPROBE SNORCLE transect workshop meetings and in international conferences. Presently, the SNORCLE working group is interpreting the processed data. • In addition to the processing of the SNORCLE data sets, the LSPF undertook the processing of the newly acquired Western Superior transect data (lines 1D, 2b and 3a), with this processing expected to be completed in the summer of 2001. • To aid different facets of interpretation, researchers at the LSPF have developed several new processing and interpretation techniques. Results accrued from the use of these methods were presented in international meetings. • On the archive front, the LSPF has been transferring all the archived LITHOPROBE transect data from 8 mm tapes to DLT tape media. • The facility website has many important internal links providing a complete information on the archived data, connecting the earth science community to the LITHOPROBE Seismic Atlas with easily downloadable images of processed seismic sections for different LITHOPROBE transects and presenting the highlights of the SNORCLE transect and the SNORCLE database that encompasses all branches of earth sciences.

The Central American Water Resource In 2000, CARA’s activities included: Management Network (CARA) is funded by the • strengthening of an existing MSc program at Canadian International Development Agency the UCR (CIDA) within the University Partnerships in • initiation of new MSc programs at the UNAN Cooperation and Development (UPCD) Program. and the USAC CIDA has committed a grant of $4 million over five • initiation of the “CARA Network” which links years (1999-2004). The purpose of CARA is to these universities to each other as well as increase the capacity of Central American relevant water sector stakeholders in Central countries to educate and train human resources in America the area of hydrogeology and water resource • involvement of UC faculty and students management. including assistance with partner institution Participating universities: (PI) curricula development and delivery, one PI • University of Calgary (UC) trainee MSc student at UC, three UC masters • University of Waterloo (UW) thesis research projects in Central America, • University of San Carlos, Guatemala (USAC) one independent student project, and three • University of Costa Rica (UCR) student volunteers • National Autonomous University of Nicaragua • involvement of three Canadian private sector (UNAN) lecturers • Canadian development education activities The project illustrates the UC’s strong institutional including inclusion in a documentary produced commitment to globalization in its teaching, by Canadian Learning Television (aired on research, and community service obligations. ACCESS in April, 2001) UW’s role in CARA is significant and based on their extensive experience in Latin America and strength in hydrogeology.

UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT SOCIETIES

THE RUNDLE GROUP

The Rundle Group, the Geology undergraduate society, was formed to promote the growth of geo-science knowledge, to promote friendship and cooperation between members, and to provide an essential line of communication for students between the University community, APEGGA, and technical organizations. The club offers exam banks, computing services, and a lounge (ES 049), shared with the Geophysics Undergrad Student Society, where students have access to a refrigerator, microwave, phone and other amenities.
