A little about me? Well, here's my CV.

I'm a graduate student at the University of Washington learning how to become He-Man at the Department of Earth and Space Sciences. Since I'm interested in just about anything that has happened in the last 2 million years, I am also involved with the Quaternary Research Center.

I've also been active in the Program on the Environment here at the UW by teaching classes (see ENVIR 100 below), being a student representative on the steeering committee, and working towards my Environmental Management Certificate. As part of the certificate program, I worked on a keystone project with the Seattle Food System Enhancement Team . This was an interdisciplinary team looking at ways to improve access to healthy and culturally appropriate food in the city, as well as how to reduce greenhouse gas emissions related to food products. My main contribution to the team was to prepare a report on the greenhouse gas emissions related to producing and transporting local and imported food into Seattle. See the Seattle Food System Enhancement Project below

My dissertation research involves deciphering the glacial history of the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica. To achieve this, I have been working at the Cosmogenic Isotope Laboratory to examine the exposure history of old glacial deposits in the Dry Valleys. For more information about my research, go to the Antarctica page.

Nepal Exploration Seminar

In September of 2007 before the Fall Quarter started, my advisor and I led a class to the Annapurna region of Nepal to study geomorphology. You can see my pictures from the trip here. Here is a link to the class webpage: Exploration Seminar to Nepal.

Seattle Food System Enhancement Project

For part of my certificate program in Environmental Management I was a member of the Seattle Food System Enhancement Team during the academic year of 2006-07. For this project, I learned how to conduct a Life Cycle Assessment by working with Joyce Cooper, a mechanical engineering professor here at UW. If you're interested in the results, check out the Greenhouse Gas Report available below.

The 2006-07 Food System Enhancement Project Final Report is done and available. You can download the entire report, or you can download each half of the report separately. Here are the links to the Neighborhood Report and to the Greenhouse Gas Report.

For your viewing pleasure, here is a link to our final presentation given to the UW's Environmental Management Program and to the City of Seattle's Food IDT.

Enjoy!

Environmental Studies 100: Interdisciplinary Foundations

In the Spring of 2007 I co-taught the ENVIR 100 course, offered through the Program on the Environment. For more information on the course, check out the ENVIR 100 homepage.

ESS 210: Physical Geology Labs

I posted copies of the labs I designed for the Spring 2005 ESS 210: Physical Geology course in a folder that you can get to from here, or using the link at the top left of the page. Enjoy! and Good Luck!

What is Science?
