This section lists faculty who are deceased or no longer regularly associated with the Department.
Active emeritus faculty may be found in our people directory.
A note on dates: There is some uncertainty as to appointment dates as sources differ. The U-M date will generally, but not always refer to that person's association with the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences and its predecessors. Where possible dates have been verified with original manuscript sources.
In the early years of the department, some lecturers have been listed as faculty in some records but not others. For the most part, these have been included prior to 1930.
Warning: the links to individual faculty pages may be quite slow to load. Images on those pages are provided in high resolution
