Please join us for this free Lunchtime Learning session presented by Acadia Lifelong Learning.
A portrait of one of Canada’s finest national parks, its spectacular landscape and its people, with a story of the long path to formal establishment. Recognized as a World Heritage Site, in part for its rock formations of worldwide importance, the area is now also as a well-known cultural destination
A retired earth scientist, Antony Berger now oscillates between Wolfville and Woody Point NL, where he has a close association with Gros Morne National Park. He taught geology at universities in Canada, Sri Lanka, and Malaysia, worked for government and international organizations, and was an independent consultant. He helped to establish several international NGOs, building science in developing countries, strengthening small-scale mining, and increasing global access to scientific literature. His international experience led to two major global projects, one developing tools for tracking rapid landscape change, and a second researching past human responses to natural change. He has written or edited scientific books on subjects ranging from granites of Donegal, Eire, to geology and human health, rapid natural landscape change, and most recently a history of Bonne Bay, NL. Like other academics, he has to take responsibility for adding many papers and articles to the overwhelmingly voluminous scientific literature, much of which has now past its “expiry date”.
