Jack teaches field methods, geomorphology, quaternary geology, hydrogeology, co-teaches
the graduate seminar, and takes on an occasional service course. He has served as
Graduate Program Director as well as Department Head, but is happiest with just teaching
and research. He is a recognized expert on Pleistocene lake beds, especially the 'unabridged
