Geoscience BC - Posters - Sat Feb 4, 2012


	Posters

Active Geoscience BC Projects and current Geoscience BC scholarship students are required to design and present a poster annually, either at the Association for Mineral Exploration BC's Mineral Exploration Roundup Convention in Vancouver in January, or at the Canadian Society of Petroleum Geologists Convention in Calgary in May. Many of these posters are subsequently presented at local conferences and workshops.

Mineral Exploration Roundup 2012
PDFs of most posters will be linked to this webpage following the 2012 Roundup Conference
