Overview

The Geosciences program's small upper division classes (average 10 students) promote close faculty-student cooperation and a sense of camaraderie. Denison University students gain a strong sense of real-world geology, earth resources and land use through frequent field trips.

The expertise of our Faculty provides an optimal blend of strengths in traditional core areas of the geosciences:

Earth materials- mineralogy and petrology
Earth dynamics- structural geology and tectonics
Earth history- paleontology and sedimentary environments

Earth surface processes- geomorphology, climatology and soil

Research Opportunities

Research opportunities include working with faculty on field and laboratory projects, involvement with the Oak Ridge Science Semester, and a variety of summer internships; see Student Opportunities for details. Departmental research equipment includes petrographic and binocular microscopes, a computer cluster with a variety of geologic and geographic software, a digitizer, a color plotter, a Scintag X-ray diffraction system, and basic soil and water chemistry laboratory facilities; see Facilities for details. Geoscience majors have access to a variety of additional analytical equipment including a scanning electron microscope and a Giddings trailer-mounted power auger and probe for shallow drilling and sampling. Our extensive mineral, rock, fossil and map collections enhance both teaching and research.
