\"\"I’ve been teaching Geology<\/strong> for \u00a026 years<\/strong>, i.e., since the year 2000, at the University of Lisbon<\/strong> (Earth Sciences & Energy Department, Faculty of Sciences).<\/p>\n

During this period, I taught 18 different courses<\/strong>, 13 at BSc degree level, and 5 at MSc level.<\/p>\n

I coordinated (as course “regent”) 4 courses at BSc level<\/strong>: Structural Geology<\/strong>, Marine Geology<\/strong>, Field Geology I<\/strong> and Field Geology II<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

At MSc level<\/strong> I coordinated (as course “regent”) the following 5 courses: Structural Geology<\/strong> and Tectonics<\/strong>, Numerical and Experimental Modelling of Geological Processes<\/strong>, Tectonophysics<\/strong>, Geology of Continental Margins<\/strong>, and Geology of Oceanic Basins<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Between September 2015 and July 2017 I was the Director of the Earthsystems Doctoral Program<\/strong> comprising PhD students from the Geology and DEGGE (Geophysics) departments.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I am presently teaching…<\/strong><\/h2>\n

…the following<\/strong> BSc Geology degree courses:<\/strong><\/h4>\n
    \n
  • Structural Geology<\/strong> (course coordinator or “regent”<\/strong>, 2nd year\/2nd semester);<\/li>\n
  • Field Geology<\/strong> (course coordinator or “regent”<\/strong>, 3rd year\/2nd semester);<\/li>\n
  • Tectonics<\/strong> (participation in teaching theoretical and practical courses, 3rd year\/2nd semester).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Here are some examples of different previous field and lab activities carried out in classes:<\/p>\n
