I teach one course each in Astronomy, Geology, Meteorology, Writing in Science Education (half-course), and Science Methods for the Elementary Schools.  I have team taught in both the CORE science course, "Revolutions in Science," and in the Temple University Graduate Education Program for Teachers.  I am the advisor to the general science teacher education programsm and, with some of my science colleagues, coordinate Moravian's science education programs. I am also the advisor of Moravian's cooperative Geology program with Lehigh University.  I am a member of the Geological Society of America, the National Science Teachers Association, the Geological Association of New Jersey, the Pennsylvania Academy of Science, and the American Association of Science, and have served on the College's board of trustees.   I received the Lindback Award for Distinguished Teaching in 1972.  My academic interests are in statistical applications in geology, seismology, meteorite impact, and science education.  I also have interests in constructing and operating seismographs, and in photography, including astrophotography and CCD imaging. I am a member of the Teacher Education Committee and chair the Faculty Development and Research Committee.
