The mission of the CUGW Center for Global Tectonics is to provide a world-class research and educational environment that examines the interaction of the lithosphere, asthenosphere, deep Earth, and how plate tectonic motions and history determines the locations and size of significant Earth Resources. The center boasts a number of world-class researchers in plate tectonics, geophysics, seismology, crustal evolution, mineral deposits, geothermal resources, ground water resources, GIS and remote sensing, and geologic hazards, and more than 40 collaborating international institutions. The center bridges traditional gaps between disciplines and provides an environment for students and researchers to develop projects using integrated global and regional GIS databases, field studies, and models.

2007 – 2009. 7 (2 years)
Building and raising funds for a world-class research and educational environment that examines the interaction of the solid earth, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere, and how humans interact with these systems, often resulting in natural hazards and disasters. Responsible for hiring and affiliating a number of top researchers in geology, biology, ecology, climate and atmospheric sciences, chemistry, natural hazards, urban and disaster planning and response, public health, environmental law, remote sensing, and geographic information systems (GIS). Building educational programs that bridge gaps between disciplines and provide an environment to develop projects using integrated global and regional GIS databases, field studies, and models. Building laboratories to support the above activities.
2000 – 2009 (9 years)
Research, teaching, advising, and service to the academic community as part of track from assistant, to assocaite prof., to a tenured endowed chair.
