Biography

Welcome to my page! Currently I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Earth Science. My interests include anthropogenic impact on aquatic and wetland ecosystems (carbon dynamics, nutrient loading, etc) using geochemical proxies (stable isotopes) and geospatial analysis techniques (GIS-remote sensing). In addition, I am also interested in renewable energy and sustainability.

I enjoy teaching very much. Here are the courses I teach at UVU.
GEO 1010_ Introduction to Geology
GEO 1080_ Introduction to Oceanography
GEOG 1000_ Introduction to Geography
GEOG 3600_ Introduction to Geographic Information System (GIS)
GEOG 3650_ Advanced GIS
GEOG 3700_Wetland Studies
GEOG 3705_ Wetland Studies Laboratory
ENVT/CHEM 3800_ Energy on Earth
