Hands-on ocean science teaching

Teaching

Rotating tanks, real-world examples, and visualizations to teach geophysical fluid dynamics.

I enjoy finding creative ways to teach ocean and environmental sciences: exploring theory with laboratory experiments, analyzing real-world examples, and running idealized numerical simulations.

Data visualization for teaching: latitude dependence of planetary vorticity

Exploring real-world examples along with theory: global hurricane tracks from IBTrACS, colored by category
