Invited Luncheon Speaker - February 5, 2008 - Terry Boerboom, MGS

Geology of the North Shore near Grand Marais

Biography
Mr. Boerboom has worked as a Precambian geologist for the Minnesota Geological Survey since 1987
I have worked as a Precambrian geologist for Minnesota Geological Survey since 1987, during which time I have mapped in all the major Precambrian terranes in the state, including Archean rocks of the Minnesota River Valley, Wawa, and Quetico Subprovinces; Paleoproterozoic rocks in east-central Minnesota, and Keweenawan rocks in northeastern Minnesota and Pine County. Prior to working at the MGS I worked short stints for the Minnesota DNR-Division of Minerals, Noranda Exploration, and Kafka Granite Company.

I am currently working on two quadrangle-sized geologic maps along the North Shore near Grand Marais, production of a 1:100,000-scale bedrock map for the Carlton County Atlas, and a Precambrian bedrock map of Chisago County. Mr. Boerboom received his Bachelors Degree from University of Minnesota-Morris and his master's degree in geology from the University of Minnesota-Duluth.
