Dr. Cowan joined the Appalachian faculty in 1988. She teaches Environmental Geology, Geomorphology, and Hydrogeology, but does research
in glacial-marine sedimentology. Dr. Cowan spends her summers documenting modern glacial sedimentation associated with tidewater glaciers
in the fjords of southeastern Alaska. During her last three cruises, she included three students (each year) in various aspects of her
research projects. Dr. Cowan collaborates with a number of other workers, including some from the U.S. Geological Survey and Northern
Illinois University. Dr. Cowan's future plans involve an extension of her work into ancient glacial deposits exposed in Canada. Dr. Cowan
is a member of Appalachian's College of Arts and Sciences Academy of Outstanding Teachers.
