On October, 14th 2022, 8 MTU GMES alumni were inducted into the Academy! (other 4 to follow) David Adler '82 B.S. Geology Daniel Farrell '60 B.S. Mining Engineering Mary Herrmann-Foley '83 B.S. Geological Engineering Terre Lane '82 B.S. Mining Engineering

Last night volcano movie “Fire of Love” played at the 41 North Film Festival followed by a Q&A panel consisting of Beth Bartel, Chad Deering, and Bill Rose. If you didn’t get the chance to see this inspiring film, we highly recommend you do!

THROWBACK THURSDAY! The MTU GMES Department hosted four alumni on September 30th in Houghton. The alumni had the opportunity to visit the department and meet with many faculty and students. From left to right - Bernie (88'), Kevin (87'), Dean (87'), and Todd (88')

Please check out this Keweenaw Geostory by GMES Professor Emeritus, Bill Rose! Jane and two henrys, along with Hiawatha (link below) vimeo.com/showcase/98016… Bill and his wife Nanno recently invited students, faculty, and alumni to enjoy dinner at their beautiful home! #MTUGMES

This past week MTU GMES students and faculty attended and presented at the annual GSA meeting hosted in Denver, Colorado! #GSA2022 #michigantech #miningengineering #GoHuskies

Last weekend students from MTU’s geology club went copper hunting at Cliff Mine! #michigantech #mining #miningengineering #copperhunting

We had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Barbara Dutrow, Professor of Geology at Louisiana State University. She presented two talks on "The Many Faces of Tourmaline: From Gemstone to Geologic DVD" and “Minerals as Solutions to Scientific, Technological, and Societal Issues".

And💥goes the trash can. Just an ordinary day for our Geohazards SYP students as they learn about volcanoes with water and nitrogen (don't try this at home!) and in a quieter moment, look at rock specimens under microscopes. Wish you were here? So do we. #mtusyp #michigantech
