PCPG Review Course Participant / Future ASBOG® Exam Candidates:
The components of this seminar are aligned with the general subject areas contained in the ASBOG® Geologist Examinations.  However, the course is not intended as a sole-source for your test preparation. It is instead a proven resource and guide for your further preparation efforts. As such, the course provides a concentrated review and a general refresher for the practicing, Professional Geologist.
     During this seminar about one hour is devoted to review a full-semester, college course. The webinars are not intended as a "How to take the Test" review.  Seminar registrants usually take this course 6 to 12 months from their intended exam date with the understanding that significant, additional preparation will be needed prior to sitting for their examination.
     We are certain that you will find the provided information helpful to your preparation, enabling you to better succeed in the ASBOG® Examinations.


About our instructors

Tamra A. Schiappa, PhD (Slippery Rock University) - Tamra is a Professor of Geology at Slippery Rock University.  She specializes in Stratigraphy and Paleontology.  She currently serves as President of the Pittsburgh Geological Society for which she has also served as Vice President.  Dr. Schiappa received a B.S. in geology from SUNY Plattsburgh, a MS in Earth Science from Boise State Univ. and a Ph.D. in Geology from Univ. of Idaho. Her research involves Upper Paleozoic conodont and ammonoid biostratigraphy of northern Pangaea; development of the Cisuralian time scale; and stratigraphy and carbonate sedimentology. She is actively involved in an international effort to refine the Permian time scale and serves as one of 13 voting members on the International commission on Permian Stratigraphy.  Working with a team of Permian scientists, she is assisting in understanding the tectonic development of the western margin of North America during the Upper Paleozoic and how climate change affected life during this time.

Daniel Harris, PhD (California University) - Daniel is an Associate Professor of Geology at California University of PA. He received his M.S. in Geochemistry from WVU in 2008 and his Ph.D. in Structural Geology from WVU in 2011. Before coming to California University of PA, Daniel worked as an adjunct lecturer at Bethany College, WV and WVU for several years. Daniel teaches a number of courses with a heavy emphasis on field work, including Mineralogy, Petrology, Structural Geology, Tectonics, Field Methods in Geology, Field Camp, Computer Applications in Geology, Earth Resources, Introductory Geology, Geochemistry, and Petroleum Geology. His research focuses on Mesozoic tectonic reconstructions of Arctic Basins using field mapping and geochronologic sample analysis. Other research involves new methods in apatite geochronology and 24-hour fluctuations of heavy metal concentrations in acid mine-impacted streams.
