Definition

  • The UMD campus, located on the Canadian Shield, is in and near classic areas of Precambrian geology with spectacular Pleistocene glacial deposits and Lake Superior on our doorstep. Paleozoic strata are readily accessible in southern Minnesota, and hydrogeology opportunities abound. However, research projects are not restricted to this area: faculty have research interests as far afield as Wyoming, the Four Corners, Barbados, Spain, Malawi, Krygystan, Papua New Guinea, Antarctica and Venus. Faculty conduct research in many fields of geoscience, including: Climate change & paleoclimatology [Brown, Colman, Gallup, Johnson, Ricketts] Economic geology & ore deposits [G. Hudak, C. Schardt, Miller, Peterson] Geochemistry & isotope geochemistry [Brown, Gallup] Glacial geology & geomorphology [Gran, Mooers, Swenson,] Hydrogeology [Mooers, Swenson] Igneous & metamorphic petrology [Goodge, Miller] Lakes and limnology [Brown, Colman, Johnson, Wattrus] Planetary geology & remote sensing [Hansen, Wattrus] Sedimentology, basin analysis & basin modeling [Johnson, Swenson] Seismology and acoustic geophysics [Wattrus] Tectonics & structural geology [Gallup, Goodge, Hansen] We have facilities for microscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), isotope and trace element analysis, sedimentology and hydrogeology, digital imagery, ground-penetrating radar, and GIS. There is ready access to a departmental computer lab and to the main-frame computer system of the University. Additional analytical facilities are available in the Department of Geology and Geophysics in Minneapolis. (en)
