Kevin Pogue is a Professor of Geology at Whitman College within the College of Arts and Sciences. His research spans tectonics, structural geology, and terroir studies, with fieldwork conducted in the Himalayan thrust belt of Pakistan and the Pacific Northwest vineyards of the Columbia Basin.
- B.S. in Geology, University of Kentucky
- M.S. in Geology, Idaho State University
- Ph.D. in Geology, Oregon State University
Dr. Pogue's work focuses on:
- Tectonic evolution of the Himalayas and Pakistan
- Geological influences on viticulture (terroir) in Washington
- Landscape evolution in Idaho's City of Rocks National Reserve
- Isotopic dating and stratigraphic analysis
His publications highlight a progression from Himalayan tectonostratigraphy to terroir studies, emphasizing basalt's impact on vineyard soils and the geological legacy of the Missoula Floods. Dr. Pogue teaches courses in terroir science, structural geology, and regional geology, and collaborates with viticulture programs at Washington State University and Walla Walla Community College. He has authored a geological guidebook for City of Rocks and contributed to major geological society publications.
