Robert M. Thorson

Professor of Earth Science, University of Connecticut

I'm a midwestern NATIVE who morphed into a western GEOLOGIST who morphed into a New England PROFESSOR, who has authored 7 books, nearly 500 essays and opinions, and dozens of technical articles. My walking commute to the Department of Earth Science is through the woods, around a pond, across a bouldery stream, and parallels a historic stone wall.
