Teaching

My teaching shift includes the following six courses.

Teaching is a deeply rewarding mission for me. I see the classroom as a space not only to convey knowledge, but to cultivate curiosity, critical thinking, and confidence in tackling complex Earth system problems. My goal is for students to leave the course not just with content mastery, but with transferable analytical skills and a deeper appreciation for how scientific reasoning connects theory, data, and real-world applications. Student feedback (see an example below for 2025 fall Global Carbon Cycle) consistently reinforces that this approach—grounded in rigor, openness, and mentorship—creates a meaningful and lasting learning experience.
