Blaine – Grounded in History: How Geology Informs Today’s Water Challenges

Learn about how glaciers impacted the surface geology of Anoka County! Geologist Carrie Jennings will describe how tunnels beneath ice sheets and ice-dammed lakes left a legacy on our surface and groundwater.

Carrie Jennings is dedicated to translating science into policy and action to preserve water resources for Freshwater, a 52-year-old Minnesota non-profit. A licensed professional geologist, she applies her understanding of geology and hydrogeology to policy to reduce surface-water pollution and improve groundwater sustainability.

Anoka County Library strives to ensure that all visitors are able to access library resources, services, and programs.
