Biographical NoteReturn to Top
Eric Cheney received his B.S. (1956) and Ph.D. (1964) from Yale University and joined the geology faculty at the University of Washington in 1964. His early research focused on the stable isotopic composition of various types of ore deposits and on the economic, political, and environmental aspects of natural resources. More recent teaching and research have centered around regional geology and the geology of ore deposits, including their regional lithologic, stratigraphic, and structural controls.
Cheney participated in state and federal hearings concerning the geology of the proposed Skagit nuclear site near Sedro Woolley, Washington. As an intervener, he offered testimony and reports against the nuclear power plant sites, which were eventually defeated on the basis of geology before construction permits were issued.
