Biography

Dr. Horns serves as Dean for the College of Science and he teaches geology courses for the Department of Earth Science at Utah Valley University (UVU). As Dean, Dr. Horns helps faculty members develop their skills as excellent teachers, helps members of the faculty and staff develop extracurricular learning opportunities for students, and facilitates initiatives to attract ever more excellent and diverse students, faculty, and staff to the college.

Prior to joining UVU, Dr. Horns worked for several years as a geologist at a geotechnical and environmental engineering firm. As a consulting geologist, he provided expertise on issues related to geologic hazards, water resources, and groundwater pollution. Thanks to this experience as an applied scientist, Dr. Horns promotes development of pratical skills for our students and cultivation of industry partnerships for our students, faculty, and staff.
