Teaching synopsis
Philosophical teaching schtick goes here. Specific courses include:
- GEOL 725 / Geodynamics, 3 cr.
(graduate), Quantitative expressions for geologic processes. Topics include: elasticity and flexure of the lithosphere; heat conduction and thermoelastic mechanics; fluid migration and poroelastic mechanics; and active deformation.
- GEOL 728 / Linear Inverse Methods, 3 cr.
(graduate), Theory and applications of linear inverse methods to quantitatively interpret geologic data. Topics include: model formulation; parameter estimation; matrix assembly, operations, and inverse methods; parameter uncertainty and resolution; and sensitivity analyses.
- GEOL 412 / Science and Engineering Field Applications (Hawaii Field Camp), 3 cr.
(undergraduate), Investigate volcanic and tectonic systems of the Big Island of Hawaii. Subjects include: Lava flow mapping; geodetic measurements; and interpretations of deformation data, including sources of error and uncertainties. Course information.
- GEOL 201 / Physical Geology, 3 cr.
(undergraduate), Survey of the Earth, including plate tectonics; materials, internal and external processes; and natural hazards. This is where it all begins.
