I have an intense interest in finding new and creative ways to reach students in a variety of educational settings. The format of traditional introductory geology and earth science courses is often ineffective in conveying fundamental scientific ideas to a general audience. The use of experiential learning activities and effective application of technology to engage students is an area of active and continuous research for me. When I am not focused on the classroom, I am in interested in the geomorphology of alpine landscapes and the paleolclimatic proxy information they may contain. Understanding the interaction of ground water, surface water, and contaminants is another area of personal interest. Increasing our understanding of how these reservoirs are connected in various geologic settings and using that information to initiate new and innovative ways to obtain, conserve, and protect these resources is something our majors are asked to apply in their future careers.

Natural Hazards and Risk Assessment
ESCI 3000
Looking to elevate your organization, and bring it to the next level? Bring on students from University of North Carolina at Charlotte to be your student-consultants, in a project-based experience. Students will work on one main project over the latter half of the semester, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools. Students in this program/course will discuss natural disasters on Earth and their impact on humans. This will include volcanoes, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and other catastrophic natural phenomena with emphasis on causes, effects and human adjustments. Student work will include natural hazard identification and risk assessment, risk communication, hazard mitigation and hazard prediction. Students will also be working on hazard preparedness plans as well as post-disaster response and recovery plans. Students will work in small groups of 2-3 to address a wide range of natural hazard resilience challenges - maybe even your own!
