COURSE LIST
From Newton to the Neutron
What is the nature of matter and energy? What is physics? What is chemistry? What is the difference between a chemical and nuclear reaction? In this course, minimizing the math to emphasize the science, we study the history of the discovery of the underlying scientific concepts.
Ge-Alge-Trig: Elements of Geometry, Algebra, & Trigonometry
This free course is intended to provide a core of the mathematical skills that are used in college level science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) courses. It is not completed and will be completed as time permits.
Arresting Climate Change
In this class we discuss carbon sequestration as a means to mitigate climate change. The method promoted is carbon mineralization.
This course was developed as part of mission of the non-profit Carbon Negative Water and Energy founded by Dr. John Hoaglund.
What’s in my Water … and Where is it from?
In this 9 part video series, Dr Hoaglund discusses general water chemistry and what it indicates about the water’s origins, also known as its provenance. He then provides a perspective on water sources for Southern California, and the issues surrounding water management.
Roadside Geology
In this ongoing course I provide itineraries on Google Maps and deliver slide and video presentations on the field geology along the route. In the first installment, we set out from Las Vegas on a road trip through the greater Death Valley region.
