Nathan Rowley earned his PhD from the Department of Geography at the Pennsylvania State University in 2015. He has been at the Department of Geology and Geography since his arrival at Ohio Wesleyan University in fall of 2014. His works focuses on the physical aspects of our planet with specific emphasis on using satellite imagery to understand interactions between ice sheets and the atmosphere. More broadly Dr. Rowley works on aspects related to global climate change and the anthropogenic processes that drive them, such as land use land cover change. 

Through a travel learning course, he has taken students to Costa Rica to observe environmental changes and compare environmental response in the tropics to those responses in the mid-latitudes (Delaware, Ohio). His courses integrate the social and natural aspects of environmental change and he aims to motivate students to take a holistic approach when tackling issues of global environmental significance.
