Cathy Connor

Cathy Connor is an Associate Professor of Geology in the UAS Environmental Science program. She received her B.S. and M.S in geology from Stanford University (1975) and her doctorate in geology from the University of Montana (1984). She began her interests in Quaternary geology looking at estuarine/salt marsh records in San Francisco Bay and later, working for the Alaska Branch of the U.S. Geological Survey, she shifted her focus to the rich history of Pleistocene Glacial Lake Ahtna in the Copper River basin/Wrangell Mountains. Since 1991, she has been active in teaching earth science courses to southeast Alaskan undergraduates and K-12 teachers statewide. She has helped to foster undergraduate research in Quaternary studies that focus on glacier dynamic processes. Collaborative projects with faculty in the Geophysical Institute and the faculty and students of the Juneau Icefield Reserach Program has led to many presentations and publications. Most recently she has worked on an interdisciplinary study linking Neoglacial sediment records with Tlingit Ethnohistory in Glacier Bay National Park and a National Science Foundation-funded Geoscience Education effort that employs GIS and geologic field experiences to enrich Alaska's secondary science teachers and their students in the Earth Sciences. She represents Alaska as a state councillor for the National Association of Geology Teachers and is active in the American Geophysical Union, the Geological Society of America, and the Alaska Geological Society.
