Precambrian Research Center The Canadian Shield...Where Igneous is Bliss.

The Precambrian Research Center (PRC) is a new research institute being established at the University of Minnesota-Duluth (UMD) as an integrated teaching and research center focused on geological mapping of Precambrian rocks. The PRC is a result of an identified and urgent, long-term need within the private and public sectors of the geological community, both locally and internationally, for geosc

ientists skilled in geological mapping and the study of Precambrian geology. Ancient shield areas that form the cores of the present-day continents are important scientifically in terms of early Earth history and crustal evolution, and they are extremely important to global society because they host a very large percentage of the world's ore deposits. For more a more complete description of the rationale behind the creation of the PRC, see the introductory remarks in the PRC business plan.
