你每天都做些什么?
目前, I teach graduate and senior-level courses at CSU, including Environmental Geology and Fluvial Geomorphology. On top of teaching, I also spend a lot of my time on research projects old and new. 主要ity of my research focuses on the landscape evolution of the western United States, which are actually extensions of undergraduate research I did 卡内基梅隆大学. 为了进行这项研究, I spend a lot of time rafting rivers and hiking in wilderness landscapes, which parallels with my personal interests (hiking, 漂流)很好.
What was your transition like from being a student to your current career position?
My transition into a scientist has been a gradual one that occurred 主要是 throughout graduate school and is on-going while I am an early-career scientist. 这是一个
One of the things I have not forgotten is the extensive array of experiences I had in my K-12 education and college. These positive experiences with many educators are largely responsible for my current success. I spend some of my time now and while I was in graduate school teaching earth science and “what college is all about” to more than 1,000 middle and high school students through various outreach programs. 我试着用故事来激励学生, pictures and videos from the field and by working to relate my early experiences to younger students
What advice would you give to incoming college students?
One of my takeaways from college is that incoming students should not be shy about getting to know their professors. Learning is largely a balance between students’ and professors’ communication of how each person thinks about ideas in order to help both grow and improve in different ways. Students should remember that most of what a student gets out of college depends on what the student puts into it. So work hard, and do your best, while remembering to have fun and take breaks. For students interested in geology or other field sciences, CMU is tough to beat!
