A path from “rocks for jocks” to a career in engineering geology

Vince Cronin is an emeritus professor of geosciences at Baylor University -- he retired in 2022, but taught a variety of courses on structural geology, tectonics, and engineering geology.  Along with his graduate and undergraduate students, he has used earthquake data, lidar-based geomorphic analysis, GPS geodesy, and field work to locate the ground-surface trace of seismogenic faults.  Vince is also the editor of 11th through 13th editions of the AGI/NAGT Laboratory Manual in Physical Geology (Pearson), and has contributed to the development of geoethics over the past 30 years.  More information about Vince, as well as the Richard H. Jahns Lecturship, can be found at https://croninprojects.org/Jahns/.
