Amy L. Brock-Hon

Amy L. Brock-Hon is the Robert L. Wilson Professor of Geology at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC), part of the College of Arts and Sciences. She specializes in soil science, geomorphology, and pedogenesis, focusing on petrocalcic horizons in arid regions and the Cumberland Plateau's unique depressions. Her work integrates field studies, geophysical techniques, and micromorphological analysis.

Teaching includes courses such as Physical Geology, Mineralogy, Geomorphology, and Soil Science. Her research explores the interplay of geomorphic, tectonic, and climatic processes on soil development, with notable projects on Mormon Mesa, NV, and Raccoon Mountain Caverns. Recent grants include studies on Cumberland Plateau depressions and barite mineral characterization in soils.

Brock-Hon has supervised multiple undergraduate researchers, including Dylan Dudley, Sarah Morgenthaler, and Jonathan Petsch, whose work focused on soil mineralogy and sediment analysis. Her publications span pedogenic barite, carbonate soil formation, and geophysical surveys of landforms. She advocates for community engagement through geology education and integrates technology like GPR and GIS in her research.
