teaching
materials and publications about computational skills to earth scientists
I am passionate about figuring out ways to teach earth scientists to code. Here you can find some coursework and pedagogical research related to this topic.
In 2023 and 2025 I was a teaching assistant for the class “Introduction to Python Programming for Earth Scientists” and developed a lesson (to be posted) introducing students to the geopandas library.
In 2017 I adapated a GIS course to include a significant Python scripting component. The course overview including adapated exercises are available here, although they are rather out of date.
From 2017-2019, I was part of the education working group of the Intelligent Systems and Geosciences (IS-GEO) research coordination network. In 2019 we wrote an article that provided an overview of the courses, challanges, and competencies that had been developed to bridge earth and data science
