An outstanding and progressive geoscience professional, Matthew Schumacher is the phenomenal Environmental Science Instructor at St. Francis Xavier University.
 
A self-admitted nerdy fellow, who enjoys baseball, retro games and the odd scotch, Matt, as he is affectionately known around campus, performs his duties as Lab and Sessional Instructor with brilliance.

He excels in the teaching of all things ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE as well as GEOMATICS. With an educational background in HYDROGEOLOGY and QUATERNARY GEOLOGY, he is quite passionate about groundwater issues and is not above digging holes in the sand at the beach with his kids. 

Matt is a personable, outgoing and supportive member of the Earth Sciences Department and enjoys being outdoors and in the field.  His door is always open and welcomes visitors.
