Another nuclear head rolls

I think with all these heads rolling around, it will be difficult to get anything done! Now it was the designated head of the 'Rendering Panel' for AECL. Ontario got this guy fired.

We don't have to mention what all this head-bowling is going to do for new nuclear in Ontario. I'm happy to be retired.

Hello Harold. I found your Blog by Googling on some terms I'm interested in. It sounds like you might be The Guy to talk to. I couldn't find an email link on your site.

I'm doing research for a school grade science textbook on tectonic activity. I'm particularly interested in _Canadian_ content.

I would like to find some photos of land forms created by shear forces (a la San Andreas fault, writ small obviously)

I've been Googling and have found diagrams and maps but I haven't found any actual photos.

Wondered if you could help?

You can email me at dc01@davesbrain.ca

(P.S. I too am a diver. Dove off Humber Bay Point here in Etobicoke last year).

I've always been looking for that, as well. There are ancient shear zones, mostly exposed in the Rockies. I think the GSC geologists have a lock on those pictures, but all the ones I know are retired.

There are great shear zones due to glacial forces, but our active earthquake zones are well hidden under water and muck.

I would contact Laurent Godin of Queens.
