Biography
Dr. Steven Driese is currently working as Professor & Associate Dean for Research, Baylor Graduate School in Department of Geology, USA. He has completed his Ph.D. from University of Wisconsin-Madison, M.S. from University of Wisconsin-Madison, B.S., Southern Illinois University. His primary current research investigates, from a geologic perspective, the paleoclimate and paleolandscape records of soils preserved as paleosols in the geologic record, using modern soil analogs where appropriate. I am also interested in applications of studies of surficial materials to solving environmental and hydrogeological problems. My collaborative research is being conducted with researchers at Baylor University, Murray State University, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the University of Tennessee-Knoxville, Texas A&M University, and Rutgers University. I work actively with soil scientists, geochemists, stratigraphers and sedimentologists, physical geographers, and geoarchaeologists in these endeavors. He had many publications.
