Free Resources

from the GSA Store

To coincide with GSA 2020 Connects Online, we’re bringing the
geology of Canada to you with a selection of volumes, transects,
and field guides.

The field guide volume includes four guides from eastern Canada.
Here you’ll examine glacial stratigraphy near Lac St. Pierre, explore
the 277-foot-high Montmorency Falls (higher than Niagara Falls!),
and trace the geologic evolution of the Thetford Mines ophiolite.

To begin your exploration, visit the GSA Store at
https://rock.geosociety .org/ Store/ and search
“FreeMontreal”—we’ve gathered for you a large
selection of classic Canadian volumes from the
Decade of North American Geology collection.
Get free digital access to them all now through
the end of November.
