Activities at the ��һ�鶹��Ƭ�� Geological Repository for Research and Education focus on basic and applied research in sedimentary geology, especially as it relates to ��һ�鶹��Ƭ��, its geologic history and geological natural resources. For example, we investigate how to:

• Conduct research to better understand ��һ�鶹��Ƭ�� Basin geological formations as they relate to global geological processes.
• Develop a detailed documentation and understanding of ��һ�鶹��Ƭ��’s subsurface geological deposits. This includes both unconsolidated near-surface glacial deposits and deeper bedrock formations.
• Identify depositional facies and stratigraphic architecture of ��һ�鶹��Ƭ�� formations using fundamental data such as, cores, drill cuttings and wireline logs in the collection at MGRRE.
• Make research findings available to the public in a timely way through workshops, seminars and written publications.
