Molly Costello teaches physical and environmental geography courses at SDSU. Her research background emphasizes evaluation of damage to rivers, particularly due to dams, and scientific and policy strategies for restoration of the physical, chemical and biological integrity of river systems. Molly’s preferred classroom is the outdoors, so her courses often include field experiences such as kayaking the Los Angeles River or examining rock falls hazards in Yosemite National Park. In addition to teaching, she is the Geography Department Undergraduate Advisor. If you are interested in pursuing a major or a minor in Geography, she will be happy to help you.
