Office: VIN 127 Phone: (325) 942-6990 Fax: (325) 942-2188 Education B.S. (2001) from University of California, Santa Barbara M.S. (2007) from University of South Florida Ph.D (2012) from University of South Florida Teaching Areas Physical and Historical Geology, Volcanology, Geophysics, and Environmental Geology Research Interests She studies volcano seismology, specifically looking at how to use changes in stress patterns on volcanoes to better understand the volcanic system and to help forecast impending eruptions. In addition, she is interested in Geoscience Education including developing new techniques used for lecturing, assignments, labs, etc. with an emphasis on using innovative technology to implement these techniques. She also focuses on using effective assessment strategies to determine the effectiveness of said techniques. |
