Overview
Thanks to generous donors, including Carleton alumni & students, colleagues, family and friends of Charlie Roots, present and former members of the Department of Earth Sciences, Carleton University, and an estate donation, we have established the Charlie Roots Honours Project Fund in Earth Sciences.
Every year, in perpetuity, the annual interest from the Charlie Roots Fund will help fourth-year honours students gain advanced research experience by subsidising the direct costs of their research. Honours thesis topics span the breadth of Earth Sciences sub-disciplines, including the study of fossils and implications for evolution or paleogeography, resource geology, crystal growth, metamorphism and mountain building, igneous rocks as geochemical tracers of Earth’s history, early Earth and planetary geology, basin analysis, sea level changes, natural vs. human contamination, hydrogeology, and many other earth sciences and environmental topics.
Now we are trying to grow the fund by $5,000 to accommodate increasing enrollment in our B.Sc.H. honours programs, including an influx of students in our new B.Sc.H. program in Earth Sciences with a concentration in Environmental Sciences.
