Biography

Steve Mittwede earned his MS and PhD at the University of South Carolina. His doctoral work focused on the geology and tectonic history of a supposed terrane boundary in northwestern South Carolina, and particularly on possible evidence for a suture zone in the central Piedmont. Though he has taught middle and high school science for the last decade, he also engages in collaborative research. His current research concerns an unusual mesic biocrust community in northern Alabama and a geochronological investigation of panned heavy-mineral concentrates from streams draining the Cat Square terrane, interpreted more recently as a Siluro-Devonian remnant ocean basin, west of Gaffney, South Carolina. Steve also has two graduate theological degrees and an EdS in Educational Leadership. He serves in his home church in a variety of capacities and especially enjoys opportunities to teach the Bible and theology.
