TEACHING EXPERIENCE


 

University of Michigan

 


Visiting Assistant Professor

Created syllabi and prepared lectures, readings, a web page, and exams for 5 courses:

C     Hydrogeology:  a senior/graduate student course in groundwater, including physics of saturated and unsaturated porous media flow, hydrologic budgets, infiltration, estimating evapotranspiration, determination of recharge, groundwater / surface water interaction, stream hydrograph separation, hydrostratigraphy, well installation and field sampling methods, aquifer testing, groundwater flow equations, and advection-dispersion-decay-retardation solute transport equations

 


C     Ground Water Modelling: a graduate course reviewing the groundwater flow equations, analytical and computer modelling methods, finite difference techniques, MODFLOW, parameter estimation, and solute transport modelling

 

C     Environmental Geology: a survey course reviewing geologic hazards and geologic processes affecting the human environment, including volcanic, earthquake, mass wasting, flooding, tsunami, meteoritic, coastal, and subsidence hazards and processes, groundwater and surface water processes affecting water quality and ecosystems, the geology of soil, water, mineral, and energy natural resources, and geologic considerations in waste management and waste disposal.

 

C     Ice Ages Past and Future: a survey course reviewing glacial geology, glaciology, and climate change.  The first half of the course includes the physics of glaciers and glacial flow, glacial erosion and deposition of glacial landforms and deposits, glacial stratigraphy, and the history of glaciation on earth.  The second half of the course includes review of the ice-core and ocean sediment stable isotopic record of climate change, and both natural and anthropogenic sources of climate change, including the greenhouse / icehouse effects, atmospheric and oceanic circulation, insolation, and Milankovitch cycles.

 

C     Ice Ages Past and Present: a freshman seminar course, covering the topics above, but with emphasis on student research and presentation.
