Lewis H. King Quaternary Research Fund

The purpose of the fund is:  To support research in quaternary geology and geomorphology of Canada and its adjoining offshore regions at Dalhousie University.  Dr. King holds the view that these disciplines are fundamental to an understanding of Canada's geology, and that Canadians should be particularly interested  in pursuing these areas of study because of the wide-spread quaternary deposits in our country.
