The Department of Geology at 成人头条 has a rich history of academic excellence, innovative research, and dedicated service. Dr. Walter Ver Wiebe, the department's inaugural chair, led from 1926 to 1954, during the transition of Fairmount College to Municipal University. Under his guidance, the department laid a strong foundation, emphasizing rigorous academic programs and practical training. During World War II, the department contributed to the war effort by training Army Air Force cadets in aerial photo reconnaissance, showcasing its adaptability and commitment to national needs.
The department is housed in the Geology Building, originally constructed in 1958 as the Math-Physics Building. This structure is notable for its unique construction technique: after pouring the basement floor slab, the roof was constructed at ground level and then elevated to its final position, followed by the third and second floors. In 2000, after significant renovations, the building was designated primarily for the geology department, providing state-of-the-art facilities for research and education.
