Teaching Excellence 2023: Steven Marsh\u2019s love of climate studies has a trickle-down effect on students <\/strong><\/h3>\n
by Anne Russell\u00a0<\/em><\/h5>\n

A passion for studying the elements led Steven Marsh to his life\u2019s work as a geography professor. Now, generations of students have benefited from the knowledge and skills he shared and are on the frontlines of resource management and academic research in climate-related disciplines.<\/p>\n

For his dedication to his profession and influence on students, Marsh is this year\u2019s recipient of the UFV Teaching Excellence award.<\/p>\n

As Marsh was growing up, his home in London, Ontario was struck by lightning more than a dozen times, sparking his interest in natural hazards and climatology.<\/p>\n

He started teaching geography at UFV 31 years ago and became a full-time professor a few years later in what was then the Geography department and is now the School of Land Use and Environmental Change. He\u2019s seen a lot of changes in students over the years.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt used to be a challenge to get students to use online resources,\u201d he recalls. \u201cNow it\u2019s a challenge to get them to set foot in the library.\u201d<\/p>\n

More of his students today are majoring in environmental studies than geography, a reflection of an increased societal awareness of environmental issues. Through field activities tied to his research and longer study tours, Marsh has taught hands-on research skills to hundreds of students.<\/p>\n
