PLEASE STOP BY THE OFFICE (look for the guy in the above picture!)...
OR FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME
If you're curious about my research, my teaching, or you are a prospective student interested in working with me, please don't hesitate to reach out (phillip.larson@mnsu.edu). We have a M.S. program where you can conduct research related to natural hazards, climatic-environmental change, surface processes/geomorphology, or geoarcheologic research at Minnesota State and I am also affiliated with the University of Minnesota Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences where I can mentor M.S. students or Ph.D. students with Dr. Andrew Wickert.
If you are a prospective undergraduate looking to major in Earth and Geospatial Sciences and are interested in the "Earth" part of that, please feel free to email me or stop by my office! We also have a B.S. in Earth Science Teaching, which provides licensure for 5-12 Earth and Space Science in Minnesota. Fundamental skills in geographic information science can be acquired through the GISc certificate, too!
