Joggins well-represented at the Atlantic Geoscience Society’s (AGS) annual Colloquium!

Held this past weekend (Feb 3-5) in Moncton, the AGS Colloquium featured a special session on Paleontology in Atlantic Canada, organised by Deborah Skilliter (Curator of Geology, Nova Scotia Museum) and Melissa Grey (Joggins Fossil Institute). There were many excellent talks on research from around the Atlantic provinces, including three that featured research at the Joggins Fossil Cliffs. Zabrina Prescott, a Master’s student at Dalhousie University studying fossilised microbial mats at Joggins, won the “Sandra Barr Award for Best Graduate Oral Presentation” – congratulations Zabrina!

Stairway to the Joggins Fossil Cliffs are Closed to ensure visitor safety

Due to the freezing rain last week and the recent snow fall, the steps leading to the Joggins Fossil Cliffs at 100 Main Street are closed until further notice.

This access to the Joggins Fossil Cliffs will be reopened once the ice and snow melts.
