Teaching undergraduate students is the most important and rewarding aspect of my job. In all of my classes, I hope to convey the excitement that attracted me to the earth sciences and the polar regions. I couple active observation (often through sketching!) with inquiry-based techniques to motivate student learning. In addition, science communication is a thread that weaves through all of my courses. My experience teaching and tutoring science writing informs this aspect of my courses.
