I teach students at all levels: undergraduate non-majors from CST and other Temple colleges, B.A. and B.S. Geology and Environmental Science majors, as well as graduate students in the Earth & Environmental Science department.  Each level and subject presents its own unique challenges and opportunities, but I strive for a balanced approach that mixes lectures with lab activities, field work, and data analysis and interpretation.  I was the recipient of a CST Dean’s Distinguished Teaching Award in 2009, and the CST Italia-Eire Foundation Distinguished Teacher of the Year Award in 2015.
