General Travel Guide for Mountjoy IV conference:

The Montréal transit system is extremely efficient. I would check for hotels on any travel website, e.g Expedia, Trivago, Hotels.com Hotwire, etc, or simply search google. Anywhere you can access the Metro/public transit system, you will be able to reliably get to McGill campus. McGill is a stop on the Metro. In general, all of Montreal is safe, but we'd recommend people stay (south) west of St.Denis. The area around McGill is considered safe but always be wary of typical big city crime.

Restaurants in Montréal are plentiful, with many that allow you to bring your own bottle of wine. The provincial SAQ or any local depanneur or grocery store will allow you to purchase wine at a reasonable price. A fun area to eat, with plentiful restaurants is on “the plateau” along Rue Rachel or Avenue Duluth. Downtown has a large selection of restaurants as well, with Montréal smoked meat being a classic. Google is your friend to check for pricing as the restaurants range from $ to $$$$. Outdoor dining is popular in the summer so look for options, especially in the plateau or Old Montréal areas.

Tentative Program (as of 26 June 2025)

The Mountjoy Carbonate Research Conferences are an initiative of the Canadian Energy Geoscience Association (CEGA) and SEPM (Society for Sedimentary Geology).  The Mountjoy conferences are a result of these two societies’ efforts to honor Eric Mountjoy who was both a tremendous geologist and an active member of both organizations.  

We are tentatively planning for two days of technical sessions with both oral and poster programs.  Topical sessions include:

-    Mountjoy Legacy Session

-    Structural Geology and Fractures

-    Carbonate Diagenesis/Dolomitization

-    Carbonate Cyclicity

-    Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS)/Critical Mineral Resources (CMR)

-    Karst

-    Hydrogeology

-    Biogeochemistry of carbonates

-    Blast from the Past Session

-    Carbonate Depositional Systems
