7:00 PM - 8:00 PM EST (5:00 PM CST)

Speaker: Mr Taylor Haid, M.Sc., Project Geologist, Metallic Minerals

His passion for history and love of the natural world led Taylor straight to the doors of the geology department in the early years of his university career. The ability to combine his personal interests with a profession seemed like a dream come true.

Taylor was a NSERC CREATE M.Sc. Fellow for Technologies and Techniques for Earth and Space Exploration during his time at the Centre for Planetary Science and Exploration (now an Institute) at Western University. His specialization was the utilization of LiDAR for geological mapping of planetary surfaces. These experiences as a graduate student exposed Taylor to new technologies to find solutions for geological problems across multiple fields.

Currently a project geologist with Metallic Minerals, over the past decade Taylor has also held mineral exploration roles in the Yukon, Nunavut, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and Labrador.

Taylor holds a B.Sc. Honours in Geology from the University of Regina and a M.Sc. in Geology (Planetary Science) from Western University. Taylor participated in the PDAC’s Student-Industry Mineral Exploration Workshop (S-IMEW) in 2013.
