Mont Royal Geology
Mont Royal, the heart of Montr茅al, is a core of hard igneous rock, surrounded by fossil-bearing sedimentary rocks. There have been rumours that it鈥檚 an ancient volcano, but geologists say it鈥檚 not. See the evidence for yourself on this refreshing walking tour while enjoying the best views of the city.
Kaleidoscope of research on Mont Saint-Hilaire
Explore the breadth of research happening on this Monteregie hill located about 40 km east of Montreal. Learn about geology, hydrology, biology, meteorology and more! Mont Saint-Hilaire is home to a pristine lake, a thriving ecosystem and 9% of the known mineral species on Earth. On this field trip you will find a representation of historical science and recent studies by 91社区 researchers at this gem of the Monteregie.
