	History of geology--GSC
		The Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) was established by the Province of Canada in 1841 and actually began in 1842, when William Edmond Logan was appointed as director.
		The GSC was in the vanguard of mapping and assessing the new lands of Canada.
		As the Geological Survey of Canada continues to accept new responsibilities and to develop new areas of expertise, its contribution to the next 150 years of Canada's development should be as important, colorful, and exciting as in the past.

	Geological Survey of Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		GSC is responsible for performing geologic surveys of the country, developing Canada's natural resources and protecting the environment.
		In September of 1841, the Province of Canada legislature passed a resolution that authorized the sum of 1,500 sterling be granted to the monarchy for the estimated expense of performing a geological survey of the province.
		In the spring of 1843, Logan established the GSC's headquarters in Montreal.

	Geological Survey of Canada
		In September, 1841, the Legislature of the Province of Canada passed the resolution “That a sum not exceeding one thousand, five hundred (1,500) pounds sterling be granted to Her Majesty to defray the probable expense in causing a Geological Survey of the Province to be made.”
		Canada’s GSC came to life in April, 1842, under the professional guidance and directorship of the charismatic, 44-year-old William Edmond Logan.
		The GSC was the impetus behind geological mapping of Canada’s 10 million square kilometers of land and fresh water lakes and over six million square kilometers of continental margin, or coastal boundaries.

	Geological survey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A geological survey is the systematic investigation of the subsurface of a given piece of ground for the purpose of creating a geological map or model.
		A geological survey employs techniques from the traditional walk-over survey, studying outcrops and landforms, to intrusive methods, such as hand augering and machine driven boreholes, to the use of geophysical techniques and remote sensing methods, such as aerial photography and satellite imagery.
		Geological survey can also be the national or federal institution employed to maintain the geological inventory and advance the knowledge of geosciences for the benefit of the wealth and health of the nation.

	Geological Survey of Canada
		Its aim is to maximize the impact of funding available for new mapping of the bedrock and surficial geology of Canada by coordinating the activities of participating agencies.
		Dramatic changes in digital information and communications technology are transforming the way geological surveys manage and disseminate their geoscience information and knowledge.
		While the computerized Geological Survey at the end of the 20th century is very different from that established by William Logan in 1842, similarities remain.

		Today's GSC scientists continue to deepen our understanding of how the Earth works, leading to new discoveries of mineral resources like diamonds, oil and gas, and helping to reduce the risks to our communities from earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides, floods and magnetic storms.
		GSC scientists are also studying things like climate change and its impact on Canadians.
		With offices across Canada, the GSC has grown from a handful of geologists to hundreds of employees working in all corners of the country.

	Geological Survey of Canada
		For example, in March 1994, the British Columbia Geological Survey and GSC took a big step towards integrating their work when 40 scientists from both groups met to develop a joint strategic plan for geoscientific mapping in support of mining in the province.
		A major external evaluation of GSC programs, delivered early in the year, concluded that over 95% of our clients were satisfied with the advice, information and expertise available from the GSC, but they felt that accessing GSC was sometimes difficult and its delivery of information was slow.
		The GSC exhibit featured 18 companies from across Canada, all of which had been recently involved with the GSC in contracts and joint ventures on marine geoscience and technology issues.

	Canada maps from Omni Resources, world leader in map supply.
		The Geological Survey of Canada is one of the most prolific national geological surveys in the world, producing nearly 100 regular and open file maps each year.
		There are several series in progress, from geologic quadrangle maps at scales of 1:50,000 to 1:1,000,000 to several magnetic anomaly, Bouguer gravity, and aeromagnetic anomaly quadrangle series.
		Compiled from published and unpublished materials of the Geological Survey of Canada, provincial and territorial surveys and other sources, it reflects new interpretations of the geology resulting from recent geological mapping, extensive aeromagnetic and gravity surveys, and improved methods of dating and correlating geological units.

	Canadian Geothermal Data Collection: Deep permafrost temperatures and thickness of permafrost
		Most of these data were acquired by the Geothermal Service of the Earth Physics Branch, EMR Canada (later amalgamated with the Geological Survey of Canada), in cooperation with the exploration industry and the regulatory agencies.
		An overview of the history of deep temperature observations in the permafrost regions of northern Canada is followed by a brief discussion on data acquisition and accuracy, the thermal disturbance due to drilling and the determination of permafrost thicknesses.
		In northern Canada, research on these topics, and geothermal research in general, was for many years hampered by logistics and the enormous cost of operating a drill-rig in the Arctic.
