Teaching Interests
My pedagogical interests include all areas of climate change, the geologic basis of our climate understanding, and interactions between human activity and our planets environments. In addition to my current teaching load, I also served as director of the Geography amp; Geosystems BSc (GY134) in 2020-21 and am unveiling a new module in Earth surface geomorphology in 2024-25.
