Example Interactive Learning Lesson Plans
Hillslope Diffusion
A 20-minute active-learning lesson plan to introduce the diffusion equation and how it is applied to simulate hillslope processes. Includes a Javascipt web-based model that allows students to diffuse a Minnesota landscape.
Intro to LEMs
Two 75-minute online active-learning lesson plans that introduce the main components of landscape evolution models (LEMs). The webpage includes a Javascipt web-based model and a link to a Google Colab activity.
SedEdu
Python software educational modules about geomorphology that was peer-reviewed in The Journal of Open Source Education. I was a co-author and contributed an early version of my rain table model.
Example Lecture
75-minute lecture on landscape evolution modeling using active-learning techniques. This lecture was given as part of a Geomorphology (ESCI 4701).
Example Materials
Example course materials: syllabus, lesson plan, and a major assignment for an upper-level course on landscape evolution modeling (4 credits).
