I love teaching. It's a joy to be able to engage and excite others in things that have fascinated me all my life. I am primarily a researcher in climate and earth system science. It should be little surprise then that this is where I teach. You can find me leading modules in 

• Stage 1: Environment and Climate
• Stage 4: Climate Change - Adaptation and Mitigation; Global Climate Change
• Stage 7: Climate Change: Science and Policy

I also contribute to several others from the philosophy and history of science, to approaches to knowledge creation and fieldwork in the Pacific Northwest of the United States.
