Professional Background
David G. Tingey joined the Department of Geology as a professional faculty member in 1990. In this role his responsibilities are closely linked to the research function of the Department, and his work markedly enhances and accelerates that function. He not only has the responsibility of insuring that all major analytical equipment is functional, but works closely with other faculty members to insure that the most reliable analytical results are obtained, then participates with them as a coinvestigator in the analysis and interpretation of those results. He also trains students in the operation of such instruments as ion chromatograph and X-ray fluorescence spectrometer, so they can use them in thesis research or as research assistants to other faculty members.
