Mountain Beltway is the new home for Callan Bentley’s geoblogging. NOVA Geoblog will soon be closed, but will be left untouched. Like a fossil, it will be static but present, an artifact from an earlier time. It is hoped that the thousand-plus posts accumulated there will continue to be useful to the Internet-surfing public.
Callan Bentley is Associate Professor of Geology at Piedmont Virginia Community College in Charlottesville, Virginia. He is a Fellow of the Geological Society of America. For his work on this blog, the National Association of Geoscience Teachers recognized him with the James Shea Award. He has also won the Outstanding Faculty Award from the State Council on Higher Education in Virginia, and the Biggs Award for Excellence in Geoscience Teaching from the Geoscience Education Division of the Geological Society of America. In previous years, Callan served as a contributing editor at EARTH magazine, President of the Geological Society of Washington and President the Geo2YC division of NAGT.
