Professor Geology and Earth Science
Biography

Dr. Halsor has taught at Wilkes University for over 25 years. Originally from Oregon, he received his undergraduate degree in Geology at the University of Oregon and then traveled extensively throughout the West while employed as an exploration geologist in the oil and mineral industries. A fascination with mountain systems and their geologic formation led Dr. Halsor to Michigan Technological University where he earned his Master's and Doctoral degrees in geology. It was at Michigan Tech where Dr. Halsor cultivated his growing interest in volcanic processes, inspired by the 1980 eruption of Mt. St. Helens and by exceptional research and field experiences in volcanology provided by Professor William I. Rose. 

Research Intrest

geologic hazards, mineral resources, active volcanic systems and solid earth energy.
