Summer Update
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.
