Welcome to the Center for Environmental, Geotechnical and Applied
Sciences, and the Southern West Virginia Brownfields Assistance Center.
About Us
Our goal is to forge close relationships among the business community, higher education institutions, and government agencies, in technology-based endeavors.
The Center for Environmental, Geotechnical, and Applied Sciences (CEGAS) was established in May 1993 through a cooperative effort between Marshall University the West Virginia Graduate College, which have since merged.
CEGAS uses an approach that includes providing educational offerings, research, services, and long-term planning for regional development.
A welcome from Dr. Tony B. Szwilski, Center Director
