Instructor Workshop: Teaching Near-surface Geophysics to Undergraduates from Intro to Majors -- Appl by May 1

[Beth Pratt-Sitaula]

Hello Teaching Geophysics Interest Group

Wanted to send one more reminder before the May 1 deadline. Please consider applying for this workshop to learn more about teaching near-surface geophysics to all levels of undergraduates.

Teaching Near-surface Geophysics to Undergraduates from Intro to Majors

Tues-Thur August 6-8, 2024

Colorado School of Mines campus, Golden, CO

This workshop provides the foundation for Earth science instructors to integrate near-surface geophysics instrumentation and methods into their undergraduate courses. Featured methods will be ground penetrating radar (GPR), active seismic, electrical resistivity, and real-time kinematic GPS/GNSS surveying.

Geophysics methods can be applied to a wide range of societally important topics, from natural hazards to groundwater resources to forensics and provide a powerful way to engage students in Earth science and allied fields.

The workshop will provide hotel accommodation and food during the workshop and up to $700* towards travel expenses (flights and ground transportation) for accepted participants.

Community college and introductory-level instructors, as well as majors-level instructors, are all encouraged to apply. Later-stage graduate students with significant teaching responsibility are also eligible.
