I emphasize an applied approach and independent thinking in my courses. Students are encouraged to ask questions, make observations, and propose their own interpretations. I use field studies and local examples to teach basic concepts and to demonstrate the complexity and interrelated nature of earth systems. I want students to develop a sense of curiosity that will motivate them to continue learning beyond the classroom.
