Rate My Professor Julie Bartley

Bartley teaches introductory courses in geology and environmental earth sciences, as well as upper-level courses in sedimentary geology, geologic history, and paleontology. Her courses blend in-class explorations, discussions, projects, and lectures, with opportunities for individual and team assignments in inclusive, active classrooms. Fieldwork is incorporated whenever possible to observe geology in natural settings. She has contributed to geoscience education as a participant and reviewer in programs like InTeGrate and On the Cutting Edge, integrating climate science across the liberal arts curriculum at Gustavus Adolphus College with NSF support. Bartley presented a poster on this initiative at the American Geophysical Union meeting titled “Climate science across the liberal arts curriculum at Gustavus Adolphus College.” She co-authored papers published in journals including The Depositional Record and Geobiology. In 2020, Bartley received the Gustavus Faculty Service Award, the highest accolade for distinguished service activities, presented at Founder’s Day. She has facilitated workshops for the National Association of Geoscience Teachers and participated in Earth Educators Rendezvous.
