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.
