Jonathan Warnock has always been into rocks. That interest led to his curiosity about the Earth, what affects it, and why it is how it is. Now he’s a professor in IUP’s Department of Anthropology, Geospatial, and Earth Sciences. Learn more about him in this installment of Meet Our Faculty.

Explore more than 100 clubs and other student organizations, as well as campus jobs and service opportunities, at Winter Warm-Up on Friday from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. in the Kovalchick Complex’s Ed Fry Arena.
