SUMMARY:Short Course @AGU: Using Geophysics Data to Teach About Flooding, Landslides, and Climate Change in Undergraduate Majors’ Courses
LOCATION:San Francisco\, CA\, USA
DESCRIPTION:Looking for new data sets and methods to in
clude into your majors-level courses?
The GEodesy Tools for Societa
l Issues (GETSI) project has developed undergraduate teaching res
ources which feature analysis of geodesy data (lidar, GPS,&n
bsp;InSAR, gravity) to help address societal challenges. This workshop
gives instructors hands-on time with several of these modules, which
particular revolve around water and earth system science. Anticipated&
nbsp;featured modules are "Modeling Flood Hazards”; "Planning for
Failure: Landslide Analysis for a Safer Society"; and "Understan
ding Our Changing Climate: Data Behind Melting Ice and Changing Sea Le
vel". The short course will also overview best practices for teac
hing with real data, improving students' ability to apply math to geos
cience problems, and increasing student capacity to propose societal s
olutions. During the final stage of the workshop participants will wor
k on implementation plans for adopting the modules and learning s
trategies into their courses. The short course is intended for undergr
aduate Earth science instructors. Late stage graduate students with&nb
sp;significant teaching responsibilities will also be considered. We h
ave some (but limited) spots for non-US instructors as well.
