Geology of the Boundary Waters

The Boundary Waters is an incredible place, with a fascinating geologic history. On this week’s “Lunch with the Friends” presentation, we will dive into the geology of the Boundary Waters and Lake Superior region. Learn about the glacial history that has shaped this area, and discover something new about rock formations you might see on a BWCA trip. We’ll hear from Rudy Molinek, a graduate student in Geoscience at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Rudy researches the history of the ice sheets that have periodically covered northern North America over the past 2.5 million years, and he writes and podcasts about our relationship to geology in the Lake Superior region.
