Courses I Teach
- Physical Geology (Geol 10)
An overview of processes operating on and below the earth's
surface and the resulting features of landscape, geologic structures, and earth materials.
Emphasis is on scientific reasoning and testing as applied to understanding the solid
earth.
- Earth Science (Geol 8)
An overview of earth and planetary processes and materials. Topics
include earthquakes, severe weather, climate change, El Nino and La Nina, plate tectonics
and planetary geology.
- Hydrogeology
An overview of groundwater hydrology for upper division
students.
- Geology
and the Environment (Geol 140)
The application of geologic data, observations and principles to
situations affecting the environment. Includes the study of earthquakes, floods,
water resouces, waste disposal and geopolitics.

Workshops I Teach
- Contaminant transport by groundwater flow.
An overview of contraminant transport, including transport by
advection, diffusion & dispersion; field measurements of dispersivity; adsorption and
retardation.
- Introduction to Groundwater Modeling
Philosophy of groundwater modeling; typical modeling proticol;
calibrating and validating flow models.
- Fractured Rock Hydrology
A one- or two-day workshop introducing professional geologists
to basic concepts that distinguish fractured rock hydrology from the hydrology of porous
media. Topics include (1) Conceptual models for fractured flow, (2) Introduction to
stochastic modeling, (3) Aquifer testing in fracture rock.
