Teaching
I lead the level 3 undergraduate field course to the Yukon Territory and Alaska. I also co-teach the level 3 module ‘Science and Society’ and the level 2 module ‘Biodiversity and Conservation’. Some of my previous teaching includes courses in invasions and species distribution modelling at the Doñana Biological Reserve international course in Spain, and species distribution modelling at MSc-level at Universidade de Évora, in Portugal.
