Maine Maritime Academy
I am a professor at a small college, Maine Maritime Academy, where I teach courses in oceanography, geology and physical oceanography. My research has taken me from the Gulf of Mexico to the Great Barrier Reef to Penobscot Bay. It has been great fun to study and compare these very different environments. My teaching has challenged me to create engaging exercises to help students learn about important concepts in Earth sciences. I try to teach by using data. Through that process students learn both how the Earth operates and useful data analysis skills. On the Cutting Edge, Teach the Earth and SERC have been both wonderful resources and great places to share my work.
