Teaching Quaternary Landscapes
Our QuaLaS teaching portfolio spans more than two decades of undergraduate and postgraduate education across Australia, Germany, Switzerland, and Argentina, covering physical geography, geomorphology, environmental change, climate science, Quaternary science, remote sensing and GIS, spatial modelling, geoarchaeology, sedimentology, and geological mapping.
We aim to create engaging learning environments that combine fieldwork, analytical skills, and interdisciplinary perspectives, empowering students to develop the scientific understanding and practical capabilities needed to investigate and address complex environmental problems.
Teaching formats range from large first-year foundation subjects and advanced specialist lectures to field-based learning, practical laboratory classes, quantitative methods, and research training. This breadth reflects extensive experience in integrating Earth and environmental sciences with geospatial analysis, fieldwork, and interdisciplinary approaches to understanding landscape evolution and environmental change.
