My research quantifies Earth's surface changes through topographic analysis by determining rates and dates of landscape evolution using GIS and cosmogenic isotopes. I started this research as a native to western Colorado, where I learned to love geology and adventure outdoors. In this space, interesting intellectual pursuits can meld with nature's meditative peace. I strive to bring my passion for the landscapes and geology of the Colorado Plateau and the Rocky Mountains to my students in the field and the classroom. My teaching practices are guided by a life lived outside and many years of teaching experience.
Further, I work in geoscience education research and explore research publications in the field, including conducting my own research with students' conceptions of deep time and quantification as defined in mathematics education, and usually conducted with clinical interviews or assessment instruments. I am very excited to return to western Colorado and to work with students at the Fort!
