LSU and the Department of Geology & Geophysics afford many opportunities to explore my interests in education and clay mineral research.

A sample of some of my recent activities can be obtained below. If you have any questions or comments, please contact me. I am particularly eager to hear from students interested in graduate work in clay mineralogy or geochemistry.
On a recent field trip to the Magnolia Cemetery in Baton Rouge, students in an introductory geology class collected data to answer basic questions about weathering.
