Faculty & Staff | Geosciences Department

Meet the FLC Geosciences Department

The Geosciences Department faculty at Fort Lewis College are more than educators—they are researchers, mentors, and leaders in their fields. With diverse expertise in areas like hydrology, volcanology, and GIS technology, our professors bring real-world experience into the classroom to inspire the next generation of geoscientists.

Our small class sizes and a 1:16 faculty-to-student ratio foster close, supportive relationships. Professors work directly with students on senior research projects, field trips, and independent studies.

Faculty engage in cutting-edge research on topics like groundwater systems, environmental sustainability, and geologic hazards. Students are frequently involved in these projects, gaining practical experience and opportunities to co-present at conferences. With strong ties to industries and agencies, our faculty help connect students to internships, jobs, and graduate programs nationwide.
