WELCOME

Welcome to the our website. The Canadian Federation of Earth Sciences was established in 2006 as the successor to the Canadian Geoscience Council (CGC). CFES is an umbrella organization of 12 Canadian member societies and 2 cooperative groups in the earth sciences. Our constituency represents industry (minerals, hydrocarbons, environmental/geotechnical), government (Federal and Provincial/Territorial Geological Surveys) and Academia; in total, an estimated 20,000 Canadian earth scientists.  We also closely cooperates with 4 observer organizations.

This website is only in English. We are working on a French site and apologize for not having realized that yet.
