Heather Brown Heather has the distinction of being Geology IV ' s only single female. The question of her availability, however, will have to be taken up with John. She is a diligent worker, but always has time for a smile for everyone. Heather enjoys outdoor activities, especially snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and geophysics!?! Swimming and reading are other favourite pastimes. Heather ' s organizational skills were evident from the excellent socials she planned as social coordinator for the Geology Club for 3 years. Heather has gained much valuable experience through summer employment. After her first year in geology, Heather tackled the major companies and worked for Noranda in North- western Ontario. Her next summer was spent in another area of Northwestern Ontario working for Shell. After third year, Heather accepted a position with Shell in SE Nova Scotia near Yarmouth. This summer she will be back in NW Ontario working for AMAX . And then who knows??? Thesis Topic: Paleomagnetic Study of the Quaternary Sediments of the Goderich Basin, Lake Huron. The natural remnant magnetism of the lake bottom sediments of the Goderich Basin, was used as a correlation factor between two cores retreived from there. The paleo-declination and paleo-inclination values obtained from the sediments were plotted versus depth. Correlateable peaks represent sediments of a comparable age. This method of correlation was found to apply to sediments of a small basinal area as well as to the Great Lakes area. Randv Farmer I ' m one of the ' fortunate ' few doing a structural thesis. At least, everyone tells me I ' m doing a structural thesis. Basically, I ' m looking at a small lense of sediments about five miles north of Thunder Bay. The general purpose of the study is to determine from structural and textural evidence, the relationship of the sediments to the surrounding rocks and their nature of deformation. I ' ve spent two summers in the bush; The first one in 1978 with Falconbridge Copper and the other in 1979 with Selco Mining. With Falconbridge I worked in the Savant - Sturgeon Lake area. Basically, we just lazed around on the beach, and participated in the weekly Ignace to Sturgeon Lake time - trials (for which I clocked the fastest time of 38 minutes), and went fishing. Once in awhile we got bored, and looked at some rocks. My second summer with Selco was spent in northern Manitoba mapping in gneissic terrain for base metals . My future interests after graduating are to work the summer, then take the winter off and do some travelling. Then, I think I ' ll be ready to try and find permanent employment in geology.
