About the Department

At present, there are four full time faculty, five part time faculty, and three staff members in the Geology Department. We also have an active, student-led Geology and Environmental Science Club. There are approximately  50 undergraduates and  8 graduate students majoring in geology and environmental sciences. In addition, we serve a large portion of the WSU student body. Approximately 1,000 students take our Physical Geology (GEL 1010) course each year. Many continue with additional coursework in Geology. Whether you are a non-major who needs to fulfill a General Education Requirement or a student considering a career in Earth Sciences, we hope you will join us to learn more about the planet Earth and its environmental systems.

Welcome to the guide for the Department of Geology!

I hope that you will find this guide a useful starting place for your research in Geology. I have assembled a core collection of resources available through the Wayne State University Library System, as well as high quality, freely available web resources. This guide is a collaborative work-in-progress, developed with the suggestions and feedback from students and faculty in Geology.

I am available by appointment to assist students and faculty with research related to Geology. You may also contact me to schedule research workshops for classes or to suggest items for purchase.
