Teaching Interests
My teaching interests revolve around all forms of geodynamics, or the changes the earth undergoes that are driven by its internal heat, by mantle convection, and by plate motion-tempered by isostasy and gravity. These broad topics appear in our introductory course (Geology 111), which I teach in almost every semester; in intermediate level courses such as Structural Geology (Geology 291); and in the upper level course Plate Tectonics and Continental Dynamics (Geology 401).
