Professor William
Berry has taught stratigraphic paleontology, sedimentary geology,
and life and environments through time. Presently, he teaches environmental
geology, climate change and paleoceanography.
His major research
interests are in global climate change and paleogeographic, oceanographic
and life changes in the Ordovician and Silurian. The primary focus
of his research at present is on the major developments before,
during and after the Late Ordovician glaciation.
One research/teaching
project in the environmental geology area is a cooperative program
being developed with a small NGO, the Urban
Watershed Institute, and the Environmental Sciences curriculum
at Galileo High in San Francisco. The program is funded currently
by the Berkeley Pledge to create enriched educational opportunities
for students from certain inner city high schools so that they may
be more appropriately qualified to enter UC Berkeley.
Another environmental
program is concerned with a number of environmental issues involving
urban stream and wetlands restorations in Catalonia (Spain) being
conducted by faculty at the Autonomous
University in Barcelona, Spain.
