Teaching and Supervisions
I demonstrate and supervise for:
- IA Earth Sciences (1st year undergraduate course)
- ESB (2nd year undergraduate course): planetary chemistry, igneous and metamorphic petrology, volcanology, mineralogy and crystallography
I have also demonstrated on undergraduate field trips including Arran, Sedbergh and Skye.
