Acadia Professor Participates in 40th "Eurogranite" Event

Acadia Professor Participates in 40th "Eurogranite" Event:

Dr. Sandra Barr led a group of about 20 geologists from 9 different countries on a 3-day geological tour of Cape Breton Island, Sept. 2-4.  It was the 40th anniversary of "Eurogranites", an annual get-together of international experts on the origin and evolution of granitic rocks, and the first time that the event had been held outside Europe. The participants were interested to see the varied (more than 60 bodies with different ages and/or chemical characteristics) granites exposed on the island.  Luckily the rain and wind associated with Hurricane Earl held off until the very last field stop, and provided a rather dramatic ending to the field trip.
