DCNR Secretary John Quigley announced the appointment of George Love to the position of director, Bureau of Topographic and Geologic Survey. Love has been serving as the Assistant Bureau Director in Topographic and Geologic Survey since joining DCNR after retiring from Carmeuse North America in 2006.
Love will function as the state geologist of Pennsylvania and be responsible for directing the activities of the bureau’s professional, technical and administrative staff.
His more than 30 years experience in executive leadership includes positions in mining, minerals, exploration, permitting, geology and geotechnical engineering in private industry and government. Love has led up to 240 workers with an overall operating budget of $37 million. He has a master’s degree in Geology and numerous credits in Civil Engineering and Soil Mechanics.
Love was born in Panama and still has family there. He is married with three children, and has grandchildren in Texas, Tennessee and California.
The mission of the Bureau of Topographic and Geologic Survey is to serve the citizens of Pennsylvania by collecting, preserving, and disseminating impartial information on the Commonwealth's geology, geologic resources, and topography in order to contribute to the understanding, wise use, and conservation of its land and included resources.
Former State Geologist Jay Parrish stepped down in September, and is now teaching remote-sensing online at the Dutton Institute at Penn State.
