SPEAKER PROGRAM

May 27th, Dr. Tim Patterson
Earth Sciences

Dr. Tim Patterson is a Professor of Geology at Carleton University and an international expert on past climate and environmental change. He has authored more than 400 scientific contributions, including over 200 peer-reviewed papers, and co-founded the world's first open-access paleontology journal. His research uses lake, ocean, and peatland sediments to understand how ecosystems respond to climate variability, land-use change, and pollution.

Crawford Lake in southern Ontario is an unusually deep, sheltered lake whose yearly sediment layers, much like tree rings, record environmental change with exceptional clarity. Because these layers capture human impact so precisely, the lake was chosen as the official reference site for marking the start of the Anthropocene, a proposed new epoch beginning in the mid-20th century. Crawford Lake is one of the best natural archives in the world for understanding how profoundly human activity has reshaped the environment.

Johnson Insurance

We have added a link to the Johnson Insurance web site (see "Links" page).
Johnson provides competitive rates for Probus members for all kinds of insurance, particularly travel insurance.
They are in the process of joining with Belair Direct, but this link will still give you access.

Guests and Visitors from other Clubs are welcome.

Meetings are at:

Gloucester Presbyterian Church

Ottawa K1T 3J6

Pike Street runs north from Hunt Club just west of Conroy. The church is at the corner of Lorry Greenberg and Pike. The parking lot entrance is off Pike.

... to stimulate thought, interest and participation in activities at a time in life when it is easy to become complacent and self-centred.
