• Teaching Interests

  Teaching Philosophy
  

  My primary teaching philosophy is to motivate students to develop a scientific rigorous approach for a career in the Geosciences.  Students should become aware of the relevance of the science in their own lives, in the context of other fields of Geoscience, and in the broader community.  These aims are implemented by:

  • Recognising that not all students have the same learning style and speed, and to try to get the best from everyone;
  • Getting to know the students as people, to learn from and encourage their aspirations and to seek their input and ideas;
  • Introducing as much hands-on experience as possible, both within the course structure and as extra-curricula activity to encourage participation and motivate students.  In the geosciences, this generally means fieldwork using quality instrumentation and computer analysis using state-of-the-art software;
  • Continually cycling course material through regular quizzes and tutorials to deepen the learning experience.  Students are encouraged to expect to achieve full marks that count significantly towards the end-of-year grades;
  • Encouraging teamwork, communication and independent learning through research projects, with various modes of presentation;
  • Instigating industry visits and linking with professional societies to provide a context for the relevance of the science and promote career opportunities.

  As a teacher, I endeavour to be always enthusiastic about the material I convey, and to be well prepared and organised.  Outcomes from teaching are measured and improved from regular end-of-course evaluation forms, from individual discussion with students and academic colleagues, by career paths of former students, and from feedback from industry colleagues.

• Research Interests

  Professor Graham Heinson has over 20 years of experience using MT. His group has run the national AuScope MT facility for the last five years, and is involved in a wide range of research activities, including the national MT mapping program AusLAMP, and 4D monitoring of fluids for hydrocarbon and geothermal energy development. His group were finalists for the Eureka awards (in the category Land and Water) and were recent winners (November 2013) of the Australian Innovation Challenge (in the category Minerals and Energy).
