A long-time Outreach volunteer with a professional background that spans the length of the continent, Dale Mah, P.Geol., has a love of adventure that keeps him enthusiastic about his work and his volunteer activities. Dale graduated from the University of Alberta in 1996 and has since worked with the Geological Survey of Canada in Northern Ontario and with Cominco Exploration on its VMS properties in the the Yukon. Currently, he is Project Geologist with Rhonda Corporation in Calgary. With Rhonda, Dale has explored the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Oregon, the U.S. and Suriname, South America. I wanted to go into the classrooms and show the children what geologists actually do, and to demonstrate how natural resources are utilized in everyday life.
Geologists make a real difference in the world.
I really enjoy the field work. The idea that I may be the only human to walk in remote areas is inspiring and really puts things in perspective. I have also met some great people working as a geologist and they have become valued friends. I wish I could do everything with them, including taking them to work. I Hate Black Flies.
