Geologic Survey of Canada

The Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) is a scientific organization that studies Canada's Earth's crust, including rocks, minerals, and natural resources. Its goal is to understand the geological processes shaping the land, identify mineral and energy resources, and assess natural hazards. This knowledge supports safe land use, resource management, and environmental protection across Canada. The GSC conducts field research, analyzes samples, and creates detailed maps and reports, providing valuable insights for industries, policymakers, and the public to make informed decisions about Canada's geology and natural resources.
