    Biography

    My research interests include annual and seasonal precipitation trends, climate change, El Nino Southern Oscillation, severe weather, natural hazards, and biogeography.  Currently, I am assessing learning outcomes in the DL science labs with the traditional in-class environment.  My teaching interests include physical geography, climatology, statistics, and biogeomorphology.
