Quartermain Earth Science Centre

Mar 5, 2014
The Quartermain Centre, which opened in October 2011, is the show case for earth sciences teaching, research, and outreach at UNB. The Centre highlights the beauty and excitement of geology and is accessible for viewing by the general public as well as school and other groups. This new facility was made possible by a generous donation from UNB Geology alumnist Bob Quartermain, former President and Chief Executive Officer of Silver Standard Resources Inc. 

Call now to book a tour for your class or other group. Plase contact lodge@unb.ca or by phone at 506-443-4804



The Quartermain Earth Science Centre is located in the UNB Forestry & Geology Building (2 Bailey Drive). The museum is front and centre when you enter the building.




The Earth Science Centre extends the length of the 1st floor and includes the Museum, 1st year geology lab (below) and nearby graduate student offices and ITS computer room.



 
The museum provides visitors with an interactive experience focusing on the geology, structure, and seismicity of our planet, the evolution of its plants and animals, industrial uses of earth materials, and the geology of New Brunswick. Below are a few photos of some of the displays currently featured in the museum.
