Center for Environmental Geotechnical and Applied Sciences (CEGAS)

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 and the West Virginia Graduate College, which have since merged. Since 2005 CEGAS has housed the West Virginia Brownfields Assistance Center at Marshall University. CEGAS uses an approach that includes providing educational offerings, research, services, and long-term planning for regional development.
