Want to get real geophysics equipment in the hands of your intro-level undergrad students?

Interested in engaging students in how geophysics can help address urgent societal challenges?

The workshop is for undergraduate instructors who want to use near-surface geophysics applications in their courses in the context of addressing societal challenges. Participants will have hands-on experience with instruments such as multi-channel seismic arrays and ground-penetrating radar. The workshop includes both field and classroom components.

• FREE workshop with travel expenses provided (participants must be from US-based institutions). 
• These geophysical methods and the associated free online teaching modules have been successfully used with students in a variety of introductory Earth science courses in a range of institutions including minority-serving institutions and community colleges. 
• The Geophysics equipment loan program to support implementation at your institution (loans are free except shipping; first-time shipping charges are waived for workshop participants). 
• Prepared data sets available for use if fieldwork is impractical in your course.

APPLICATION DEADLINE MAY 1Instructors at 2YC and MSI institutions are particularly encouraged to apply!

Workshop resources developed by the IGUaNA and GETSI projects. All expenses, including travel expenses, will be covered by the National Science Foundation’s Seismological Facilities for the Advancement of Geoscience (SAGE) Award under Cooperative Support Agreement EAR-1851048.
