Teaching (Drexel University)
Geochemistry (GEO 309) – Upper level undergraduate course introducing the theoretical basis and common applications of geochemistry in geology and environmental science. Topics include composition of the earth, thermodynamics, kinetics, solubility, redox reactions, and isotope geochemistry.
Groundwater Geology (GEO 412) – Upper level undergraduate course introducing the theoretical basis and practical techniques of hydrogeology with an emphasis on case studies. Topics include groundwater flow and storage, aquifer pumping, contaminant transport, and karst.
Introduction to Field Methods in Earth Science (GEO 103) - Introductory course in Earth Science focused on the development of fundamental skills and methods for the field study of the geologic processes.
