Canadian Geoscience

Canadian geoscience is the study of Earth's physical structure, processes, and history within Canada. It involves examining rocks, minerals, and landforms to understand natural resources like minerals, oil, and water. It also explores Earth's history, including plate tectonics, earthquakes, and glacial changes that shaped the landscape. Canadian geoscientists provide vital insights for resource development, environmental protection, and natural hazard assessment. The field combines field exploration, laboratory analysis, and remote sensing to better understand Canada's dynamic geology, helping society sustainably manage its natural environment and resources.
