Palynological expertise in the unit increased in 1971 with the arrival of Thane Anderson.
Initially, Thane worked for the GSC at the Canada Centre for Inland Waters in Burlington, Ontario, where his research focused on Great Lakes deposits.
He continued these studies after moving to Ottawa in 1976, and broadened his interests to include many areas of Canada from Prince Edward Island, to southern Ontario, western Canada, the Arctic, and Newfoundland.
Anderson has been involved in a wide range of projects with workers within the Terrain Sciences Division, other Government agencies and universities, and has compiled syntheses for various regions.
More recently he has been using palynology to document climate induced water level changes in lakes on the Oak Ridges Moraine, southern Ontario, as well as examining tsunami-laid deposits in coastal areas of Newfoundland, and tying landslide events in the Ottawa area to past climate change.

Clément worked with Anderson on the Oak Ridges Moraine project and continues to provide paleolimnological expertise in the ongoing GSC "Metals in the Environment" program.
