Biography
Dr. Cornell is a geologist by training and teaches courses at Shippensburg University in geology, oceanography, and field studies. His background provides a wealth of experience that he uses to teach and mentor student research using diverse living and geological laboratories in the Chincoteague Bay region. Dr. Cornell mentors undergraduate and graduate student projects including M.S. theses in environmental geoscience, geophysics, coastal process monitoring, and sea level change. He has also worked with Dr. Adrienne Oakley (Kutztown University) and others to investigate topics ranging from the geologic history of the Assateague and Wallops barrier islands and Chincoteague Bay to monitoring anthropogenic impacts on impaired salt marshes and maritime forests.
