It is easiest to let the pictures speak for themselves.
Here are some highlights from my classes.
Classes with Dr. Eppes, Photos in the Field
At UNC Charlotte, I teach Introductory Geology, Soil Science, Applied Soil Science, Geomorphology and Advanced Geomorphology (called Landscape Assessment).
I bring to the classroom my experience in geology, ecology, archaeology, environmental, and seismic-hazard applications of soil geomorphology. I focus upper-level courses around subjects such as surficial processes, soils, paleoclimatology, active tectonics, and geologic applications of GIS, and towards the applications of these subjects to students’ own research and interests.
Most upper-level classes include some type of field-based researach project. Recent in-class research included: Origins of gullys adjacent to a piedmont floodplain; Laboratory method comparison for particle size analysis; Physical weathering of Table Rock, SC, A soil chronosequence in Toby Creek, Mecklenburg County NC; A soil geomorphic study of Mafic Bogs in NC; Soil-characterization of a UST site, Charlotte, NC; Stream piracy and fluvial geomorphology along the Blue Ridge escarpment; and Tectonic geomorphology of a closed basin in the Transverse Ranges of Southern California.
