Where Science Meets Community | Mapping Canada's Landscape Together
YouTube Video (10:33 minutes)
What happens when scientific research meets local knowledge? Follow geologists from Natural Resources Canada and the Geological Survey of Newfoundland and Labrador as they work with communities to map Canada's surficial geology and build a deeper understanding of the landscape together.
This video explores how meaningful community engagement strengthens geological research. By listening to residents, sharing knowledge, and working alongside local communities, scientists gain valuable insights into the history of the land while building relationships that extend beyond fieldwork.
Set against the stunning landscapes of Newfoundland and Labrador, this story highlights the connections between people, place, and science. It's a behind-the-scenes look at how collaboration, trust, and local perspectives contribute to geological mapping and our understanding of Canada's glacial history.
