Statement of Research and Teaching Interests

 

          I continue to pursue information on the history of quarrying and building stone use in the Midwest. This includes the cataloging of many stone structures throughout the region and the development of techniques to nondestructively characterize building stones.

          I am teaching courses on physical geology during Fall Semester and historical geology, the geology of national parks, and evolution during Spring Semester. Beginning Spring 2009 a curriculum change will lead to the offering of a new WAC (Writing Across the Curriculum) course combining invertebrate and vertebrate paleontology and historical geology. Whenever possible I take students into the field or second best, bring the field to class with specimens and images. A trip to the fossil-rich terrain of southwestern Ohio and southeastern Indiana is part of the new course and a trip to Cuyahoga Valley National Park is part of Geology of National Parks.

        August 2008 will find us visiting sites of geologic and ecologic interest on the southern shores of Lake Superior from the Sault west to the Iron Range of Minnesota during a 10 day field excursion.
