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.

Relevant experiences:

ICESat-2 sea ice state analysis

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.

University of Washington's ICESat-2 hackweek, University of Washington (tutor in June 2019 & 2020 and advisor on more recent hackweeks)

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.

Polar sea ice and the global climate system, University of Maryland

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.

Polar Science @NASA, Sitka High School, Alaska (October 2017)

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!

MADE CLEAR climate change scientific expert, Maryland/Delaware (2015-2017)

Providing advice to K-12 teachers in polar science. Contributed to the new Climate Change Learning Progression draft.

Physics of Oceans, Ice Sheets and Climate (assistant), University College London, UK (2011-2013)

Assisted with problem classes and helped mark homework assignments.

The Melting Planet, London (summer 2013)

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.
