Geology

Geologists study the structure, composition, and history of the Earth. Their concerns include locating water, fuel, and mineral resources; determining appropriate land usage; and diagnosing natural hazards such as floods, volcanoes, and earthquakes. Students preparing for a professional career in Geology should plan to transfer to a four-year college, and then to attend graduate school for a Master’s Degree.

Geology Part-Time Faculty

In addition to the full-time faculty members listed above, many other qualified professors serve on a part-time basis. Although the part-time faculty members serve as an integral aspect of our community, quarterly schedule changes preclude listing them individually. For information on how to contact a part-time faculty member, please contact the MESH Division Office at 360.475.7700. The college directory web page is HERE.
