Highlights from the 2017 SCUGOG Public Lecture
The 2017 SCUGOG Memorial Lecture was held on March 2, 2017. Dr Dominique Weis, CRC and Director, Pacific Centre for Isotopic and Geochemical Research, Department of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences, UBC, spoke on "An Overview of Canadian Volcanoes: Location, Risks and Future Studies".
The SCUGOG Annual Public Lecture is a long-running series that brings a prominent Canadian geoscientist to deliver an accessible presentation for the London community every year. This year's event was especially significant, as it was revealed that the anonymous-until-now donor was our own Dr. C. Gordon Winder. Dr. Winder was a student in the department in the 1940s, and a valued member of the faculty until his death in 2016. He is greatly missed!
Dr. Winder's daughter, Mrs. Nancy Winder Holmes, attended the lecture and made a gracious speech on her father's behalf.
