Midcontinent Rift of North America
Recent news stories about this project are from
Nature,
Earth Magazine (August 2014), and Earth Magazine (January 2016).
"Lake Superior and the Midcontinent Rift: A billion year story", 13 minute video about the Midcontinent Rift project (December 2015).
This video was recently produced telling the “story behind the scenery”
of both the geology and the geoheritage of the Midcontinental Rift.
The MCR bequeathed significant economic drivers to the Great Lakes region of
the U.S.: copper deposits that drew settlers, and Lake Superior, a major
waterway to transport goods. These features continue to attract tourists today.
The video was coproduced by Abigail Foerstner and Seth Stein, Northwestern University and Carol Stein, University of Illinois at Chicago (funded by EarthScope).
