I am teaching a brand new course in the department this fall (2016) – Geog 391: MOUNTAIN METEOROLOGY! Students will be introduced to meteorological phenomena associated with mountain environments, develop an understanding of the role mountains have on weather and climate in a region (from the poles to the tropics!) and gain experience with meteorological instrumentation and field data collection. If you are interested look for details on the department website: http://www.uvic.ca/socialsciences/geography/ or contact me. Pre-requisite: Geog 272.

This was our classroom … enough said. Water, waves, trees, wolves, bears, whales and amazing students. It was a terrific and tiring two weeks.
