For those of you who are new to the UM geology
scene, the Minnesota Geological Survey is a unit of the Newton
Horace Winchell School of Earth Sciences. The Survey is the University outreach
center for the science and technology of earth resources in Minnesota. The
Survey conducts basic and applied earth science research, conveys that
information to the public through publications and service activities, and
promotes earth science education. Minnesota is its focus.
The MGS is
located about half-way between the St Paul and Minneapolis campus’, on
University Avenue (2642 University Ave West, St Paul, 55114-1057). For a map
