Courses Taught

  • EAPS 100: Planet Earth 
    An introduction to the Geosciences - Earth science, oceanography, atmospheric science and astronomy. The course emphasizes topics (earthquakes, volcanoes, ocean pollution, climate change, severe weather, etc.) that are of general interest and relevance, and the interconnections between various Earth processes. 

  • EAPS 200: Water World
    Provides an introduction to the hydrological sciences and water resources. It emphasizes an Earth-systems (geoscience) approach. During the first half of the semester, students develop a basic understanding of hydrological processes and methods used to measure the processes with an emphasis on providing a more complete understanding of the water balance. During the second half of the semester, students develop an understanding on how the water cycle is changing locally, regionally, and globally. Students are encouraged to make connections – the Earth is a set of interconnected systems and hydrology intersects and links them all.

  • EAPS 584: Hydrogeology
    Investigates the qualitative and quantitative aspects of ground water location, occurrence, movement, evaluation, and development, and the influence of man upon this resource. Geologic and engineering aspects of ground water systems are discussed. Classroom teaching is complemented by problem sets and field trips. 

  • EAPS 590: Field Geology of North America (co-taught in Spring 2016 with Kenneth Ridgway and Briony Horgan)
    Advanced study of tectonic evolution and stratigraphic history of specific geologic provinces. Particular emphasis on the relationship between tectonics, basin development, and sedimentation. Field component deals with application of field techniques used in basin analysis and structural studies. Includes a required 10-day field trip.

  • EAPS 680: Contaminant Hydrogeology
    Covers the basic theory and applications of problem-solving exercises in hydrogeology, fluid mechanics, and chemistry of contaminated sites; flow and transport equations and models; investigational methods; remediation methods; case studies; and pertinent environmental laws. Prior course work in chemistry, computer programming, differential equations, and hydrogeology is required.
