Adam Massmann's home

I am a Ph.D. student in environmental engineering, advised by Pierre Gentine at Columbia University. I study human-land-climate interactions by merging physical or conceptual models with observational data.

Research and Projects

• Causality for clarification: examples from climate science
• Does atmospheric drying increase or reduce evaporation?
• Sustainable communities (exploratory)
• Scientific progress: production, costs, and introspection (exploratory)
• Previous: Master's Research (UAlbany) in mesoscale meteorology

Teaching

• Considering the Whole Self in Teaching and Learning - a two part “Learning Community” developed in collaboration with Abby Schroering. The focus is on centering teacher and learner wellbeing in the classroom. We emphasized breaking down false notions of mind-body dualism and embracing embodied teaching/learning as a way to center wellbeing (and improve learning). The vast majority of the credit goes to Abby who really made both the collaboration and learning community thrive. Update: Abby and I gave this workshop again in Spring of 2021 through the CIRTL network.

• Git for course deployment and websites - a workshop on how to use Github as a tool to:

  1. deploy course websites and materials, and
  2. allow students, professors, and TAs to collaborate on improving course materials.

Both these workshops were funded and supported by Columbia's Center for Teaching and Learning.

Resources (mostly for fellow students)

• Writing
• EEE Graduate Student Resources - department specific documentation provided by graduate students, for graduate students (and TAs)
