Professor Tarullo’s primary interest lies in the teaching of geology. He is interested in the application of software engineering to the geological sciences for educational purposes and also for research. He also serves as a guide for educational and community groups visiting the Rowan University Fossil Park in Sewell, New Jersey.
Professor Tarullo is also actively involved in creating a high-quality collection of rocks and fossils that can be used in the teaching of geology at Monmouth University. He started the collection locally by collecting from locations in New Jersey but has since expanded the scope of the collection to locations he visits while traveling in the United States.
He is also interested in regional geology and developing a deeper understanding of the geologic history of various geologic regions of the United States, including the geology of New Jersey, the geology of the Colorado Plateau, and the geology of the Rocky Mountains.
