I have been a visiting lecturer here at Salem State since 2006 and primarily teach the course Weather and Climate (GPH100P), an introductory course which focuses on the basic elements of weather and how these combine to create various weather phenomenon . I have also taught Severe and Unusual Weather (GPH387P) in which specific types of severe weather such as blizzards, thunderstorms, tornadoes, and hurricanes are discussed for both their meteorological impact as well as societal impact.
