摘要：The Geological Association of Canada (GAC) Presidential Address is an exceptional opportunity for Presidents at the end of their term of office to share personal thoughts and comments with fellow geoscientists on just about any geoscience matters they wish. Free of any obligation to submit a technical paper, this essay provides a light sum- mary of my personal reflections and forecasting on aspects that I believe will govern and influence the future success of geosciences in Canada and abroad. For a good recent review of the current status of geosciences in Canada see GAC President’s address by Lebel (2010).
