Professor of Geology, University of Connecticut

I'm a midwestern NATIVE who morphed into a western GEOLOGIST who morphed into a New England PROFESSOR, who was asked to become the HEAD of the Department of Geosciences at the University of Connecticut. I've authored 7 books, nearly 500 essays and opinions, and dozens of technical articles. I walk to work through the woods, around a pond, across a stream, and on top of a stone wall.
