Geologist and noted cave explorer Dr. Louise D. Hose will visit Lyon College for a convocation at 7:30 p.m. Monday in Nucor Auditorium. The event is free and open to the public.
Hose has traveled the world in an adventurous pursuit to better understand unusual geologic sites, particularly some of the world’s most intriguing caves. She has more than 30 years of experience in research, education, exploration and conservation efforts, including the exploration and investigation of caves in New Guinea, England, Greece, South Africa, Oman and Yugoslavia. Some of her most noted work has been featured twice in National Geographic magazine.
Hose left a 13-year career in higher education and academic research to help the National Park Service establish the new National Cave and Karst Research Institute in Carlsbad, N.M., over the last three years. During her professorial career, her work was sponsored by her academic institutes and organizations including the National Science Foundation, U.S. Forest Service, National Geographic Society, National Speleological Society, and two foreign resource management agencies.
She considers working at Westminster College in Missouri under Dr. Walter Roettger’s mentoring to be the best years of her academic career. The experience was cut short by his appointment as Lyon College’s president. She also served six years as a director of the National Speleological Society and has edited their multi-disciplinary, refereed scientific publication for more than seven years, the Journal of Cave and Karst Studies.
Hose holds a doctorate of philosophy in geology from Louisiana State University, a master of science in geology from California State University, Los Angeles, and a bachelor’s in secondary education from Arizona State University. Prior to her Ph.D. program, she taught junior high school, worked as a geologist in the petroleum industry, and spent 15 months with the U.S. Geological Survey.
While at Lyon, Dr. Hose will also accompany a group of Lyon students on a wild cave tour at Blanchard Springs Caverns. The event is sponsored by the Student Activities Council and the X-treme Adventure Squad (XAS).
