Please save the date to join us at at 7 pm on Tuesday, March 18th, at the Wayne Theatre in Waynesboro for a Science Talk by Dr. Angel Garcia, JMU Assistant Professor of Ethnogeology & Karst Science.
Dr. Garcia is a Boricua (Puerto Rican) geologist interested in ethnogeology, cave and karst science, place-based education, and increasing diversity within geosciences. His undergraduate degree is from Universidad Ana G. Mendez in Puerto Rico, where he majored in Environmental Sciences with a minor in Marine Biology. He went on to graduate school at the University of Vermont, where he received an MS degree in Geology, focusing on geochemistry, and then to Arizona State University for his doctoral degree in Geological Sciences, focusing on ethnogeology about culturally framed geological interpretations among long-term residents in the Dominican and Puerto Rican karst. In 2020 he was appointed assistant professor in the Department of Geology and Environmental Science at James Madison University (Harrisonburg, VA).
We will have more details about Dr. Garcia’s presentation topic closer to the date, so stay tuned!
