Teaching

My current teaching encompasses broad classes in oceanography and global change, as well as more focused disciplinary seminars for graduate students on paleoclimate topics. The classes listed below have web sites for their most recent incarnations:

Introduction to Oceanography - general education (non-science major) level.

Global Change - for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students in natural science and related disciplines.

Paleoclimatology (lecture/discussion course for graduate students; joint with J. Overpeck)

Ocean Sciences (lab and lecture course for undergraduate science majors; joint with A. Cohen)

Seminar: Current Topics and Debates in Paleoclimatology - for graduate students in paleoclimate. This changes every year; in spring 2009 we will focus on drought in western North America. Past years' seminars have focused on IPCC-relevant paleoscience, North Atlantic, Asian Monsoon, and North American Monsoon topics.
