Department faculty lead or co-lead numerous externally funded projects and other collaborative initiatives in geosciences, physics, and chemistry funded by NSF and DoED. Seed grant funds are available to initiate scholarship with undergraduate students.
Concord University is a public, liberal-arts institution with an enrollment of approximately 1800 students. The University is in a scenic, small-town setting in the mountains of southern West Virginia with access to year-round outdoor recreation activities.
