Several people bundled in warm winter clothing stand on a frozen lake while one person uses a large auger bit to drill a hole in the ice.

Brock's Department of Earth Sciences took students in ERSC 3Q99 — Quaternary Field Camp on a winter adventure last week, travelling to Tiny, Ont., to core sediments from Farlain Lake. The hands-on learning opportunity was led by Earth Sciences Professor Francine McCarthy and Assistant Professor Kelly Biagi.
