Data for Educators One Pager Visualizing Relationships Between Earthquakes, Volcanoes, and Plate Boundaries in the Western U.S. Using EarthScope Jr. Exploring Plate Motion and Deformation in California Using GPS Time Series Plots: Lesson Plan
Exploring Plate Motion and Deformation in Cascadia Using GPS Data Analyzing Plate Motion Using EarthScope GPS Data with the Pacific Northwest as a case study Episodic Tremor and Slip in the Pacific Northwest: when is the next big earthquake? Draft: Introducing GPS and Time Series Plots This activity for middle school students introduces high precision GPS. Students observe a demonstration and reflect on how GPS is used to pinpoint a location; learn how to read a GPS time series plot; analyze movement of GPS stations; build a simple GPS monument and model how GPS stations move; compare motions of multiple GPS stations; and analyze real GPS time series plots. Will It Blow? Monitoring Yellowstone's Volcanic Activity Activity sequence for students in grades 8 - 12. Students interpret historical and real-time monitoring data: volcanic eruption history, hydrothermal activity, earthquakes, and GPS data for Yellowstone National Park. By analyzing this data students determine if there is a space suitable for building a golf resort in the park. Students construct a presentation or written report based on the National Science Standards format. Using GPS to Study Tectonics, Earthquakes, and Volcanoes [PDF]
