From time to time I teach undergraduate geology courses. I have taught at Arizona State University in Tempe, South Mountain Community College in Phoenix and Fairleigh Dickinson University in Teaneck, N.J. My courses have included introductory physical geology, introductory historical geology and lab, introductory oceanography, and Technical Writing for Geologists. In Technical Writing, I worked with undergraduate and graduate students and postdocs on their theses, manuscripts and proposals.

Because my students are usually not science majors, I always include an introduction to fundamental science topics, such as plate tectonics and evolution. I also discuss current environmental problems, including ozone depletion and global warming, in simple scientific terms.
