Teaching near-surface geophysics An in-person instructor workshop focused on teaching near-surface geophysics will be offered on July 7-9 at the Colorado School of Mines campus in Golden, Colorado. This workshop provides the foundation for Earth science instructors to integrate near-surface geophysics instrumentation and methods into their undergraduate courses. The featured methods will be ground penetrating radar (GPR), active seismic, electrical resistivity, and real-time kinematic GPS/GNSS surveying. The workshop will provide hotel accommodation and travel support is available for accepted participants. Apply by March 27 if you are interested! Event Information 2025 participants learn about electrical resistivity with instructor Lena Schwebs from the University of Wyoming.
