TEACHING
Undergraduate and graduate
level courses I teach at the University of Virginia:
Physical
Hydrology (EVSC
3600)
Studies the physical principles
governing the flow of
water on and
beneath the earth’s surface, including open channel hydraulics, ground
water hydraulics, and dynamics of soil moisture.
Biomechanics
of Organisms (EVSC 3060)
Explores
interactions between biology
and the fluid
environment within which organisms function
(i.e. air and water). Examines such issues as animal locomotion, heat
exchange, mass exchange, bio-acoustics, and bio-optics in air and
water, as well as living at the interface between the two fluids.
Coastal
Oceanography (EVSC 5060)
An interdisciplinary course which covers
physical, biological, and chemical processes occurring along coastlines
and within coastal ecosystems.
Physical
Oceanography (EVSC 5440)
Studies the physical properties,
processes, and structure of the oceans; mass and energy budgets;
methods of measurements; and the nature and theory of ocean currents,
waves, and tides in the open sea, near shore and in estuaries.
Hydrological
Transport Processes (EVHY 5650)
Examines the transport of dissolved
substances, and of sediment and particulate matter in terrestrial and
aquatic environments.
