NAGT Webinar: Using geophysics field instruments to engage students in societal applications and geoscience career skills

• Tuesday October 8, 2024
• 10 AM-11 AM Pacific | 11 AM-12 PM Mountain | 12-1 PM Central | 1-2 PM Eastern
• Registration: deadline Monday October 7

Near-surface geophysics methods are used in a wide variety of applications, from groundwater and hazards to urban planning and engineering. Learn how you can borrow near-surface geophysics instruments (or access data sets) to hook your undergraduate students with the societal uses of geoscience, as well as learn valuable career skills.

This webinar will overview existing teaching resources and the process for instrument loans to support introductory and majors-level student learning about seismic refraction, ground penetrating radar (GPR), electrical resistivity, global positioning system (GPS) and more.

Free online teaching resources and prepared data are from the GEodesy Tools for Societal Issues (GETSI) and Introducing Geophysics for Urban and Near-surface Applications (IGUaNA). Instruments are available through the EarthScope Consortium Geophysics Field Education program.

This webinar is part of the National Association of Geoscience Teachers (NAGT) Webinar Series.
