A small selection of some teaching resources that I have developed or used are available at the link here.

Current MEES Courses

MEES 637: Zooplankton Ecology

• Offered in Autumn of Odd Years (as of 2019)
• Recent offerings: Autumn 2018; 2019
  
  The goal of this course is to provide students with a quantitative understanding of plankton ecology, including population dynamics, nutrition, behavior, trophic interactions, and bio-physical interactions, to answer the overarching question, does zooplankton control primary production in the ocean?

Emphasis will be placed on critical analysis of plankton dynamics from actual plankton data and in class discussions of peer-reviewed papers. Grading will be based on a combination of homework problem sets, a written proposal, and class participation in discussions.

Current non-MEES Teaching

Universidad Ana G Méndez

• GESC 300: Earth System Science Lecture
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the understanding of the natural processes in oceans and atmosphere, the history of global changes in climate and ecosystems, and the impact of human activities on the oceans, atmospheric composition, and climate.

• GESC 300L: Earth System Science Laboratory
This course implements hands on experiences through laboratory and field exercises about natural processes in oceans and atmosphere, the history of global changes in climate and ecosystems, and the impact of human activities on the oceans, atmospheric composition, and climate.

Both courses co-taught with Dr. Lora Harris as part of the NSF funded Centro TORTUGA program
