Geologist Bean Retires From UW After Long Career
Milwaukee born state geologist Ernest F. Bean, 70, plans retirement from the University of Wisconsin in June after more than two decades at the survey and a lifelong teaching career. Since 1917 he led field work and trained hundreds of young geologists, helping map Wisconsin’s mineral resources and road materials. Bean will pursue private consulting while recalling a career built on field rigor and mentorship.
