Geology in Missouri
Nov. 09, 2026
In a jam-packed weekend field trip to southeastern Missouri, geology majors in Dr. Wolf’s Volcanoes and Mineral Resources class explored text-book geologic features in three state parks and descended 1,100 feet into the largest lead-zinc-copper mine in the U.S. They learned the importance and consequence of the ancient magmatic, tectonic and fluid-flow past to the modern day economics of the Doe Run Company's Mine and Mill operations and their role in supplying critical minerals to the U.S. economy.
