This is a course I have team-taught with Dr. Aden Rehms and Dr. Charles Lamb at Black Hills State University. The course is research oriented, where students work as a team to design and implement a research proposal focused on water chemistry in the northern Black Hills. This course has been so successful and well received that I would eventually like to model most of my upper division geology offerings in a similar style.

I am teaching 2 sessions of a Yellowstone Park field course for the University of Pittsburgh Honors College in 2001. The course is team-taught, and I am responsible for the 1^st 8-day section that focuses on the "physical Yellowstone". The students have an opportunity to witness one of the most geologically active places on the planet as they study the volcanic, seismic, glacial, and hydrologic processes of the park.

I was the principle instructor for the Hydrology and Water Resources departmental surface water field camp during the summer of 1999 and 2000. The course covered basic and advanced techniques for obtaining hydrologic data in the field. Click here for photos!!

I taught one section of this undergraduate/graduate level course for the Arizona State University Geology Department in the Goldfield Mountains of Arizona during the Fall 1990 semester. The area encompassed approximately 9 square miles and was composed of a stratigraphically and structurally complex arrangement of intrusive and extrusive volcanic rocks sitting on a granitic basement.

This is a beginning field geology course for Environmental Physical Science majors at Black Hills State University, and focuses on the structure and stratigraphy of outcrops in the northern Black Hills of South Dakota.
