GAC-MAC-IAH 2019 is coming up in the next few weeks and there will be a geothermal program for those interested. This includes Geothermal Canada AGM followed by a geothermal pub night (May 13th), a visit of the Laboratoire ouvert de géothermie at INRS (May 14th) and a geothermal seminar organized by UNESCO-IGCP636 group (May 15th). You have until Friday to register for official activities of the GAC-MAC-IAH 2019 conference such as the isotope geochemistry short course and the dinner cruise.
You don’t want to miss this fantastic evening spent all together at a geothermal table cruising the St. Lawrence River.
