Austin Jena Krause serves as a Lecturer in the Department of Geography & Environmental Studies within San Francisco State University's College of Science and Engineering. His fixed-term faculty position centers on undergraduate instruction across core geography disciplines, with office location in DOW SCIENCE 237C.
Academic credentials include:
- M.S. in Physical Geography, University of Wisconsin-Madison (2010)
- B.S. in Environmental Sciences with Distinction, University of California, Berkeley (2007)
Research focuses on geomorphological and hydrological processes, particularly watershed analysis and river system responses to human interventions like dam removal. His work bridges theoretical geography with practical environmental management, evidenced by field studies in California's Coastside region and Wisconsin's Baraboo River basin. Methodologically, he combines hydrologic modeling with empirical field data collection.
Publication trends reveal consistent output in applied geography journals and technical reports for water management agencies. Recent work emphasizes regional case studies addressing contemporary water resource challenges, with strong connections to vernacular geography and landscape evolution.
Teaching responsibilities encompass foundational courses including Physical Geography, Environmental Geography, Geomorphology, Hydrology, and Natural Resources. His industry collaboration with the Coastside County Water District informs practical curriculum development, though formal student supervision details remain unspecified in available materials.
Professional activities integrate academic scholarship with real-world environmental problem-solving through water district partnerships, providing students with exposure to applied geography contexts beyond traditional academic settings.
