Professor of Sedimentary Geology Earth, Ocean and Ecological Sciences

Teaching

I am an experienced teacher and mentor at BSc, MSc, PhD and industry professional level. I have taught courses in sedimentary geology, petroleum geology, regional geology, and most recently, coding and development of numerical models. I also have lots of experience running and teaching on Earth Science field classes, most often in the UK and in southern Spain, but also Morocco, and Oman. I am currently working hard to develop code and workflows to create immerssive virtual mapping areas that students can learn to explore, unravel and understand.
