Earth and Geographic Sciences Professor Jane Huang works with Criminal Justice students in her GIS (Geographic Information System) for Criminal Justice course in the Antonucci Science Complex.  The course introduces students to the theory and application of crime mapping and analysis in a GIS (Geographic Information System) environment. Students will learn the criminological theories that supports crime analysis and place-based policing. Students will also learn the basic skills of using GIS to create crime maps and to analyze crime patterns. 

Students in Earth and Geographic Sciences Professor Elizabeth Gordon's Oceanography class learn about the density and salinity of seawater in the Antonucci Science Complex. This course is designed to provide students with an overview of fundamental scientific concepts that describe ocean processes. Topics include marine geology (ocean basins, sediments), marine chemistry (properties of seawater), and physical oceanography (waves, tides, currents), with some discussion of biological oceanography.

Students in Environmental and Earth Science Professor Christopher Picone's Ecology Lab wrapped up a week long experiment involving the tomato horn worm feeding and growth. The subjects were fed a certain amount of natural or manmade food, and then they, and their waste, was weighed and recorded. Some subjects' weight increased 10X their starting weight.

Students in Environmental and Earth Science Professor Christopher Picone's Ecology Lab conduct a week long experiment revolving around the tomato horn worm. The subject is weighed, fed a certain amount of natural or manmade food, as well as their waste. The students study the dynamic relationships between organisms and their environment through field and laboratory work emphasizing problem identification, formulation of hypotheses, data collection, and analysis and interpretation of results in terms of their biological implications.

Senior Cole Brunker assists Environmental, Geographic, and Public Health Science Professor Elyse Clark with her research into soil health in the Antonucci Science Complex.

Students in Biology and Chemistry Professor Dr. Erin Rehrig's plant biology lab examine plant evolution and diversity as well as the cellular and biochemical characteristics of plants. The course focuses on the physiology, ecology, and molecular biology of plants including leaf & root physiology, reproduction, and stress responses. Consideration is given to the importance of plants in environmental studies, the biotech industry, and human culture. In laboratory experiments, students use plants to investigate molecular, physiological, and ecological questions.

Spring fever has taken hold of the campus, Biology and Chemistry Professor Erin Rehrig took advantage of the unseasonably warm weather to have her Life Science for Educators class work on their Timeline of Life on Earth on the quad. This course covers a broad array of life science topics including cellular, organismal, and human biology. It is designed to provide a foundation in the life sciences for education majors (K-8).

Students in Earth and Geographic Sciences Professor Reid Parsons' Earth Systems Science class test the affect of temperature on ocean current in their lab. This course gives students a holistic view of Earth and the spatial relationships between its physical, chemical, geological, and biological systems. Students are taught  fundamental scientific principles of physical geography and discuss human-earth interactions.
