EARTH SCIENCE EDUCATION
I train the next generation of earth scientists in characterization and interpretation of sedimentary rocks and the earth processes that create them. The goal is to develop capable scientists who can address challenges ranging from mitigating global climate change to meeting global energy demands.
I value inquiry-based learning approaches in the classroom and hands-on research opportunities in field and lab settings. Excellence in these arenas requires conscientious practices that actively support the growth and development of a broad student population in higher education at large and in the earth sciences specifically.
