(dissemination, grants, mentoring, etc.), and service (student advising, committee participation, community outreach, etc.). Teaching assignments are based upon the interests and qualifications of the individual and the needs of the department.


The Department: The Department of Geological and Environmental Sciences offers B.S. degrees in Geology and Environmental Sciences as well as M.S. degrees in Environmental Sciences and Geosciences. The Department continues to grow and currently serves over 160 majors and over 15 graduate students. Faculty
and students are actively involved in internal and external research grants and service contracts, and the University and College offer funding to support development of innovative student-learning techniques for both field and in-class activities. The Department is interdisciplinary with faculty having expertise and research interests in the areas of applied ecology, hydrology, biogeochemistry, atmospheric science, sedimentology, volcanology, paleontology, petrology, and oceanography. The Department houses a variety of research-grade instruments and computer resources available to both faculty and students as many of our students regularly present their research at national and international conferences. Water is a critical resource both locally and regionally and our department’s involvement with local water agencies, the CSU, Chico’s Center for Water and the Environment, as well various campus sustainability groups reflect our commitment to be leaders in water-related issues.
