Objectif(s): To study the origin of the landforms that overlie the Bear Rock Formation; to investigate the modes in which water sinks into and moves through the rocks to springs

Description du projet: Jim Hamilton, a student of Dr. Ford from McMaster University, and his field assistant will hike through these areas to record the locations of different kinds of rocks and landforms. He is also interested in finding out how water from snowmelt and rain travels through the soil and rocks to come out at various springs. To do this, he will inject a nonpoisonous fluid so that he can trace the water flow at Bear Rock.
