Congratulations to all Named TAship Award winners, for Winter 2022! Named TAship awards recognize a TA that has gone above and beyond in the classroom, lab, or in the field.

Congratulations to alumnus Dr. Callum Walter, BSc'16, PhD'21, who will be joining the USGS and NASA for an exciting postdoctoral opportunity.

RockEng22, the 22nd Canadian Rock Mechanics Symposium is being hosted on Queen's University campus this year, August 8-10. 

The Department of Geological Sciences and Geological Engineering's Dr. Jennifer Day is the Chair of the symposium, and Dr. Mark Diederichs is the Technical Chair. 

Smith Engineering at Queen's University shared a great article about the symposium, titled "RockEng22 Symposium gets off the ground".

Dr. Christopher Spencer is featured in an article by the Queen's Alumni Review, titled "Field Trip: Dodging hot lava, picking field greens, and staring down simians are all in a day’s work for Queen’s researchers in the field."

Throughout the week of June 20-24, Queen's hosted convocation ceremonies for graduating students from the Classes of 2020, 2021, and 2022, due to delays caused by the pandemic. 

The Department of Geological Sciences and Geological Engineering was pleased to host a reception during this week to celebrate all of its graduates, including undergraduate students, graduate students, and MEERL students. Thank you to all who attended, and best of luck to all of our graduates from 2020, 2021, and 2022!
