teaching

I have taught many classes over the years, mostly at the University of Nice, at Purdue University, then at Ecole normale supérieure. I order to avoid multiple versions of my class material and to reduce clutter on my web site, I decided to consolidate by two most important series of courses into two text books. As a result, the links to most of my former class web sites are now deprecated. The good news is that these two rather comprehensive text books are available for free download:

• Geodynamics of the Lithosphere

• Space Geodesy and Active Tectonics 

I am also fond of the geophysics field course in the southern French Alps that we put together with ENS colleagues. The students' objective determine crustal thickness variations by measuring the geoid height using GPS/leveling colocation: A Geoid Profile in the Southern French Alps.

Classes taught at Ecole Normale Supérieure, 2013-present

• Geodynamics of the Lithosphere (L3)

• A Geoid Profile in the Southern French Alps (M1), geophysics field course

• Space Geodesy and Active Tectonics (M2)

• Satellite Earth Observation (M1): Orbits, geodetic reference systems, GNSS positioning

• Geopositioning, principles and applications (M2, in French)

• Kinematic Analysis of Lithospheric Deformation (Master ENSG, in French).

Classes taught at Purdue University, 2001-2012

• Geophysics (undergraduate)

• GPS Geodesy (graduate)

• Gravity and Geopotential (graduate)

• Kinematics of Active Crustal Motions (graduate)

• Active Tectonics (graduate)

• Seminars in Tectonics (graduate)

• Maps and Graphs with GMT (graduate)

• Tectonics of the Western US, field course (undergraduate + graduate)

• Marine Geophysics, study abroad course in collaboration with Univ. of Brest, France (graduate)

• Miscellaneous
