The Roundup Poster Session will highlight public geoscience. Over 90 posters will feature the results of geological mapping and economic geology studies including new ideas and new technologies. Highlights from the BC Geological Survey, Geological Survey of Canada, and Geoscience BC will be the main attraction, and will be complemented by posters from numerous university researchers, particularly university students. Government and university related database systems and information, such as those found on the MapPlace.ca, will be available live in the poster session venue.

This session is particularly designed for one-on-one discussions and information exchange with geoscientists most familiar with the geology within your area of interest. There will be posters presenting the results of geological mapping, geophysical and geochemical surveys, as well as research on a wide variety of deposit types from across the Cordillera, other parts of Canada and the world. Posters from the Yukon Geological Survey will be displayed in the Yukon room. Live MapPlace.ca demonstrations and selected posters by the BC Geological Survey will also be available Tuesday through Thursday in the BC Room (Seymour Room). The Poster Session is a great place to enjoy the ticketed Baron of Beef Lunch taking place on Monday.

University students are encouraged to submit poster presentations for display and prizes will be awarded: $600 for first prize, $400 for second prize, and $200 for third prize.

Work of BC high school Grade 12 Geology students will also be displayed during the poster session.
