I teach courses in Environmental Geology, Hydrogeology, and Geochemistry, among others. I have been teaching at Keene State College since 1992. allen-in-class.gif

I have a broad array of research interests from "hard-rock" geology to hydrology. Much of my work involves the application of geochemistry and/or geophysics. I co-direct the KSC Center for Environmental BioGeoChemistry, which includes laboratory facilities and instrumentation for elemental and stable isotopic analyses of a wide range of sample types.
A recent project, funded by the US Geological Survey's EDMAP program, involved working with students on detailed geologic mapping in the vicinity of Lake Sunapee in west-central New Hampshire. The project is addressing the interrelationships between structural development, metamorphism and magmatism during mountain-building events. This mapping has identified some important "horst-and-graben" fault structures in the area. I have previous experience doing geological research in the White Mountains and other areas of New Hampshire and in the Karakorum Mountains of Pakistan. TongaSohkaLumba.jpg

I received a B.A. in Geological Sciences from Harvard College, and an M.S. and a Ph.D. in Geology from Dartmouth College. I am a NH licensed Professional Geologist and serve on the State of New Hampshire Board of Professional Geologists. I am also involved with several other state and regional professional and scientific organizations, as well as serving the College community.
