Andrew HavelesAssistant Professor, University of Wisconsin-River Falls
Biology Department and Plant and Earth Science Department Andrew Haveles is a zoologist and paleoecologist with a Ph.D. in earth sciences from the University of Minnesota, and an M.S. degree in earth sciences and B.S. degree in biology, both from Syracuse University. Recent experiences include Visiting Assistant Professor appointments at Macalester College, the University of Minnesota, and Gustavus Adolphus College. He taught a variety of courses spanning the disciplines of biology (biodiversity, interpreting landscapes) and earth sciences (paleobiology, sedimentology and stratigraphy). Most recently, he worked at the Science Education Resource Center at Carleton College where his work focused on strengthening higher education through collaborative partnerships such as mentoring faculty developing teaching activities that have students use publicly available datasets to answer environmental questions.

I am always interested in working with students that are curious, excited, and eager to learn about the scientific process and develop skills that will be transferable to any of their future endeavors. If you are a UWRF-River Falls undergraduate interested in my research and interested in possible opportunities, please email me or stop by my office.
