Acadia Geologist Honoured

Sandra Barr’s service to the Canadian geoscience community was acknowledged on May 24th, 2011, in Ottawa when she received the Distinguished Service Award from the Geological Association of Canada.  Sandra is a long-standing member of the GAC, which she joined in 1970 when she was still a graduate student at the University of British Columbia.  She reached the highest role in the Association by serving as President in 2004-2005.  Under her leadership GAC explored new relationships within the Canadian geoscience community, which led to the creation of the Canadian Federation of Earth Science.  She is currently special advisor to the GAC President and also serves as GAC's Book Editor.  In that role she has brought a number of important projects to fruition, such as the latest edition of the highly successful Geotext “Facies Models”. The award also acknowledged Sandra’s many other roles in geoscience, including her service as editor (since 1986) of the journal “Atlantic Geology”.  [Photo by Olga Ijewliw]
