Below are some examples of various tutorials and teaching efforts I have been involved with to-date. I am increasingly interested in the benefits of asynchronous open source tutorials and cookbooks that showcase state-of-the-art analysis workflows and provide interested users with the information needed to reproduce this at home (or on the cloud). Ideally this is a two-way process - interested users can provide feedback and thoughts on how to improve the material and the content evolves over time through a community development model. I am excited by these new approaches to open science knowledge sharing that in my view operate at the intersection of research and teaching.
I'm constantly on the look-out for new opportunities, so if you're interested in hosting me for a lecture or class, or spinning up some online cookbooks/tutorials on geospatial analysis (e.g. remote sensing/climate modeling), then do get in touch.
Lead developer of this online Jupyter Book that provides open source Python data analysis of my ICESat-2 derived sea ice thickness dataset (IS2SITMOGR4), showcasing best practises for wrangling/analyzing/validating/visualizing these data in support of several publications over recent years. The Jupyter Book is updated as new data or analysis are made available. See here: ICESat-2 Sea Ice State Analysis.
Tutor, instructor and advisor, providing support to the sea ice participants regarding ICESat-2 sea ice products (ATL03/07/10) and associated Python-based data analysis. My initial role (2019/2020) was as tutor and developer of the initial online material. In later years I transitioned to advisor as other early career scientists took over the tutorial development (and produced some really fantastic content!). Please see here for the latest ICESat-2 Hackweek website and associated material: ICESat-2 Hackweek.
Invited guest lectures on polar sea ice and its linkages with the wider climate system for the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Science undergraduate students.
A series of classes on various aspects of the Polar Regions to high school students (K7 and K12) in Sitka, Alaksa. A primary component of my Sitka Scientist in Residency fellowship. I'm keen to share the resources I generated for these classes, so if you're interested, do get in touch!
Providing advice to K-12 teachers in polar science. Contributed to the new Climate Change Learning Progression draft.
Assisted with problem classes and helped mark homework assignments.
A 6-week workshop for high school students aged 16-17 which mixed lecturing with hands-on exercises to demonstrate fundamental principles of climate science with a focus on the Polar Regions.
