Ontario Geological Survey the rock (bedrock); b) the deposits of sand, gravel, and till left by the glaciers; c) the mineral resources and potential; d) the energy resource potential within the rocks and soils; and e) the groundwater aquifers that contain groundwater resources. An understanding of what is at, and below, our feet is fundamental to human existence on the Earth, to understand the environment and habitats, and our ability to adapt to future changes, such as global warming. This geological knowledge is used to assess Earth resource potential, to attract investment, to ensure the health and safety of Ontario people from geo-hazards,
Granular synthesis possible. Greek composer Iannis Xenakis is known as the inventor of the granular synthesis technique. Canadian composer Barry Truax was one of the first to implement real-time versions of this synthesis technique. "Granular synthesis has been implemented in different ways, notably by the Canadian composer Barry Truax." There are now many dedicated devices available for exploring granular synthesis without using a computer. Many of these devices are in the Eurorack modular synthesizer format, such as: Granular synthesis Granular synthesis is a basic sound synthesis method that operates on the microsound time scale. It is based on the same principle as
