Water Goals Update Keeps the Research Flowing
Vancouver, BC – June 27, 2019 – Geoscience BC has updated its water research goals to meet recommendations and advice from its Strategic Task Force on Water.
The Geoscience BC Board of Directors considered the advice and recommendations of the Task Force and has added four new water-related research goals to Geoscience BC's Strategic Plan 2018-2022. They are:
Water is one of Geoscience BC's three research areas. The other two are minerals and energy (oil and gas, geothermal). Any future water research will continue to align with Geoscience BC’s strategic objectives, principally with respect to mineral and/or energy development in British Columbia:
About Geoscience BC
Geoscience BC generates independent, public geoscience research and data about British Columbia’s minerals, energy and water resources. This advances knowledge, informs responsible development, encourages investment and stimulates innovation.
Our collaboration with the resource sectors, academia, communities, Indigenous groups and government develops and shares unbiased and credible earth science research and data.

The Geoscience BC Board of Directors considered the advice and recommendations of the Task Force and has added four new water-related research goals to Geoscience BC's Strategic Plan 2018-2022. They are:
- Improving baseline surficial geology, including regional soil characterization.
- Assessing watershed dynamics in relation to climate change.
- Characterizing groundwater and aquifers throughout British Columbia.
- Measuring local and regional water balance.
Water is one of Geoscience BC's three research areas. The other two are minerals and energy (oil and gas, geothermal). Any future water research will continue to align with Geoscience BC’s strategic objectives, principally with respect to mineral and/or energy development in British Columbia:
- Understanding Water
- Facilitating Responsible Natural Resource Development
- Advancing Science & Innovative Geoscience Technologies
- Enabling Clean Energy
- Providing Public Access to Data
