Background

About Sam Lagor

I am a field geologist turned secondary educator, currently working with Middle School students and athletes in the classroom, on the ice, and out in the field. I still perform work in the mineral exploration industry during the summers, where my specialties are structural geology, geologic mapping, and 3-D geologic modeling. I have worked in mineral exploration for several years with experience conducting exploration for base metals, precious metals, and industrial minerals, while working on a wide variety of deposit types with a track record of significantly expanding proven resources. I also worked for several years in the realm of engineering geology gaining an outstanding record for safety, with experience on projects related to dam, levee, tunnel, and highway/road construction. I am eager to share my experiences and passions for science, engineering, and understanding the Earth with my students.
