Exploration
geology, Mesozoic microfossils and carbonate microfacies,
regional geology of Mexico; natural disasters and environmental
geology, vulnerability mapping and risk analysis of
urban areas to natural disasters and human-induced environmental
deterioration; the use of information technology in
education and in the development of Asynchronous Learning
Networks.
Research
Interests
Prof.
Longoria has been actively involved in earth science
research for more than 30 years, he has made important
original contributions to the earth sciences; his research
activates span from field geological projects, to laboratory
research and applied environmental work. His fields
of research include: (1) Environmental Geology and Natural
Disasters; (2) Remote Sensing and Exploration Geology;
(3) Sedimentary Geology and Paleobiology; and (4) Information
Technology applied to teaching/learning in asynchronous
environments. He is well known for his original contributions
to the geology of Mexico particularly in the field of
micropaleontology where he has made important discoveries
such as the establishment of new system of classification
of Cretaceous planktonic foraminifera, and the establishment
of new species of foraminifera. He has also made significant
contributions to the understanding of the geological
evolution of Mexico; he developed an alternative tectonic
model to for the Mesozoic of Mexico. His contributions
to the study of natural disasters include the implementation
of a holistic approach to understand the process of
mitigation and recovery. Currently he is involved in
applied research in earthquake engineering, volcanic
hazards, and flood vulnerability. He has developed a
strong interest in information technology and its application
to the classroom; he has made significant contribution
in the field of distance education with his model of
virtual classroom and virtual campus.
