Dr. John Gunton worked for resource companies around the world for over 35 years.  He lives in Nanoose Bay, where he continues to practice geology as a consultant.  His career fostered a clear understanding of the earth processes that have shaped the globe over millions of years, and continue to shape our world today.

John  returned to Powell River to share the second part of his series about “Geo-hazards of the Georgia Basin”.   This time he focused on water movement and flood hazards, and explained how water shapes the landscape, and influences our daily lives.
