Teaching:

Wasatch in the Field - GEO2500

Wasatch in the Field is a new course at the University of Utah aimed to provide Freshmen geoscience students a look into the different focuses of geoscience available in the Dept of Geology & Geophysics.

The course was developed for the Fall of 2018, and consisted of 4 sections. Each section was led by a Prof in the Department with expertise in that area. The TA for the course (me) worked with each Professor on creating, implementing, and documenting new lab exercises for each week.

Major Elements of GEO2500:

  1. Geology
    Field mapping of faults, fault cores, and LiDAR image visualization

  2. Geological Engineering
    Landslide mapping of the Albion basin

  3. Environmental Geology
    Stream & field data collection & processing

  4. Geophysics
    Gravity, magnetics, and active source labs. Final lab on SAC data visualization & GMT.
