Hauck, II, Department Chair Structural geology [email protected] Jeffrey Balcerski, PhD The earth, environmental, and planetary sciences encompass a wide (Case Western Reserve University) range of inquiries into the physical, chemical, and biological processes Adjunct Assistant Professor that shape the earth and the planets. Application of these inquiries to understanding a planet’s evolution through time is a unique attribute of Andrew Dombard, PhD geological investigations. Knowledge of the past and present reveals the (Washington University in St. Louis) constraints of our environment and serves as a guide for the future. Adjunct Associate Professor; University of Illinois-Chicago Planetary geophysics In recent years, significant advances have been made in the understanding of Earth’s interior, the nature of surface and near-surface Joseph Hannibal, PhD processes, the history of the Earth’s climate, the ecology of living and (Kent State University) ancient organisms, and the comparative geology of other planets. Adjunct Associate Professor; Cleveland Museum of Natural History Geological knowledge is fundamental to resource conservation, land use Invertebrate paleontology planning and other environmental concerns. Nathan Jacobson, PhD Department faculty have active research programs to investigate (University of California) planet formation and evolution, and Earth and environmental history. Adjunct Associate Professor The department offers degree programs leading to the Bachelor of Arts (BA) and Bachelor of Science (BS) in geological sciences, BA Zhicheng Jing, PhD in environmental geology, BA in environmental studies, Master of (Yale University) Science (MS), and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD). The Environmental Adjunct Associate Professor Studies Program (http://bulletin.case.edu/collegeofartsandsciences/ Elham Mohsenian, PhD environmentalstudiesprogram/) is described elsewhere in this bulletin.
