Vince Cronin has been interested in geoethics since the 1980s when he worked on engineering geology projects under the supervision of former California State Geologist Dr. Jim Slosson. Cronin earned degrees in geology from Pomona College (AB, '79), Dartmouth College (AM, '82), and Texas A&M University (Ph.D., '88). For most of his career, he has been a tenured professor at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and Baylor University. Professor Cronin and his students' diverse research included Himalayan geology, plate kinematics, geodesy, paleoseismology, neotectonics, and the identification of potentially dangerous seismogenic faults. He is the current editor of the AGI/NAGT Laboratory Manual in Physical Geology — widely used in the US.
