Teaching & supervision

Geospatial education grounded in scientific reasoning.

My teaching connects methods with the physical processes, social conditions and decisions that shape environmental systems. The aim is for students to understand both what a spatial model can show and the assumptions that limit it.

Teaching approach

From problem formulation to decision relevance.

I encourage students to move beyond software operation. Coursework considers data architecture, methodological justification, reproducible analysis, validation, uncertainty and interpretation. Students work with real datasets and problem-oriented assignments to develop both analytical capability and methodological judgment.

My postgraduate teaching spans GIS, geospatial hydrology, hazard monitoring, early-warning systems, disaster technology and decision science.
