The theme of GeoCanada 2010 -“Working with the Earth, Terre D’Avenir” - is a reminder that the mission of a geologist in prospecting for new resources in a mature or frontier region involves all aspects of the Earth System, not just the occurrence of hydrocarbons or mineral resources. The popular Core Conference will be held during the last days of the Convention, on May 13th and 14th at the ERCB Core Research Centre where cores from across Canada and (hopefully) around the world will be on display. As in the past, each core will be the subject of a short technical presentation, focussing on areas of interest for geologists, geophysicists and engineers alike. This year’s theme puts a spotlight on the integration of geology, geophysics and engineering in the exploration and development of both our hydrocarbon, coal and mineral resources with a focus on new and developing plays and technology. The geological community is invited to submit a contribution across the spectrum of play types, utilizing the core to highlight how the geoscientific community is Working with the Earth.
