I’M NOW a Professor of Earth Sciences at the University of Connecticut juggling graduate and undergraduate teaching, scientific research, humanities scholarship, journalism, committee work, honors advising, and public engagement.  My main interest is the meaning of nature, the interweave of landscape geology, historical archaeology, environmental history, American literature, and forest ecology.
