TEACHING

I teach introductory and graduate level courses in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), as well as introductory courses in physical geography (earth science). The graduate GIS courses are an integral part of our Environmental Studies program. I also teach some undergraduate and graduate classes in geology, as needed by our students. My teaching to date includes:

ERS        502           GIS Applications

ERS        501           Mapping Environmental Data with GIS

GGR       017           Introduction to GIS

GLY       013           Structural Geology

ERS        002           Earth Science 2

ERS        001           Earth Science 1

 

RESEARCH

My current research is focused in two areas. The first is terrain and subsurface visualization, imaging, and analysis. The second is the use of GIS in ecologic, geologic and spatial analyses.
