WKU Geography and Geology Blog

During the 2009 summer, several faculty are working with Gatton Academy students on research projects.  The new state-of-the-art Meteorology lab is under construction and should be ready for Fall classes, and a projector is being installed in EST 314 geology classroom to improve communication in the classroom.  Three new faculty will join us this Fall:  Dr. Margaret “Peggy” Gripshover teaches cultural geography; Dr. Jason Polk teaches geostatistics, geomorphology, and physical geography; and Dr. Xingang Fan teaches meteorology and climatology courses.  With 24 full-time faculty, the Department is looking forward to a busy and productive 2009-2010.
