My teaching focuses on physical aspects of the terrestrial and global water cycles and their interactions within Earthís climate system. Global Hydrology (ESS XXX) is a core course in our graduate curriculum which addresses all major components of the global water cycle, including precipitation, clouds, water vapor, sea surface fluxes and terrestrial hydrology. Terrestrial Hydrology (ESS 232/132) is a graduate/undergraduate class that emphasizes key aspects of the water cycle within drainage basins, including precipitation, snow and snowmelt, evapotranspiration, infiltration and soil moisture in the unsaturated zone, and streamflow. This course often includes several field trips and exercises. Land Surface Processes (ESS 282a) is a topical graduate seminar. This class is currently devoted to understanding biosphere-atmosphere interactions and developing a working knowledge of the Community Land Model. Land Interactions (ESS 51) is a new undergraduate core course that covers terrestrial biogeochemical, ecological and hydrological processes and their links within the biosphere.


While on the faculty in the Department of Geological Sciences at the University of Texas at Austin (1994-2001), I taught courses in Environmental Hydrogeology, Physical Hydrology, Global Hydrology, Field Methods in Hydrology and Geology for Engineers.
