ES-SEPM Officers
Ilya Buynevich, President
A member of SEPM since 1995, Ilya Buynevich received a B.A. in Geology in 1994, followed by a Ph.D. in 2001, both from Boston University, and is currently an Assistant Scientist with the Coastal Systems Group at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. His research focuses on barrier morphodynamics and stratigraphy; origin and evolution of coastal dunefields; event sedimentology; geological legacy of former inlets; and applications of high-resolution geophysical methods in coastal research.
Stan Dunagan, Vice-President
A member of SEPM since 1995, Stan Dunagan received his B.S. in Geoscience from the University of Tennessee at Martin in 1993, and then completed a Ph.D. in 1998 from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. He is currently an Assistant Professor of Geology at the University of Tennessee at Martin. His research interests focus on the depositional dynamics, stable isotope geochemistry, and paleohydrology of lacustrine and wetland carbonate systems, particularly in the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation (Colorado); the depositional history of Silurian-Devonian marine carbonates in central Tennessee; and the depositional setting and ichnology of the Upper Cretaceous Coon Creek Formation (Tennessee) in addition to interests in online geoscience education.
Bosiljka Glumac, Secretary/Treasurer
Before being elected the ES-SEPM Secretary/Treasurer, Bosiljka Glumac served as the NE-SEPM Vice-President (2003/04) and the ES-SEPM President (2004/06). She has an undergraduate degree in Geology from the University of Zagreb in Croatia, and a doctorate degree from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. She is currently an Associate Professor of Geology at Smith College in Northampton, MA where with students she conducts research in carbonate sedimentology and stratigraphy.
Cynthia Coron, Councilor for the Northeast
A member of SEPM since college, Cynthia Coron received a BSc. in Geology from The Ohio State University, an MSc. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a PhD. from the University of Toronto. After employment with the Canadian Ministry of Natural Resources and consulting in the mining industry, and teaching posts at East Tennessee State University and Stephen F. Austin State University, she is currently a Professor at Southern Connecticut State University. Cynthia‘s research focuses on the origin and geochemistry of Precambrian bedded barites and carbonate-hosted ore deposits of the Appalachian trend, facies reconstruction and wrench-fault tectonics of the Java Sea, and, most recently, volcanic-sediment interaction in the Hartford Basin.
Doug Haywick, Councilor for the Southeast
A member of SEPM since 1983, Doug Haywick received his BS (Honours) in Geology and Chemistry from McMaster University in 1982, his MS from Memorial University in 1985, and his PhD from James Cook University in Townsville, Australia in 1991. He is currently an Associate Professor of Geology at the University of South Alabama in Mobile. His research interests include carbonate diagenesis, coastal sedimentology, geoarchaeology and geoscience education.
