GSA 2006 Short Course: Using GPS Data To Study Crustal Deformation, Earthquakes, And Volcanism: A Workshop For College Faculty
Document Actions
This course is geared toward faculty at two- and four-year institutions who teach general education or introductory or lower level geoscience courses in which plate tectonics is a topic. Faculty will be introduced to place-based, data-rich educational materials about global positioning systems (GPS) and plate tectonics to use in their classrooms, receive an introduction to high-precision GPS, and have the opportunity to discuss pedagogical strategies for classroom implementation. Anticipated topics include slow earthquakes in Cascadia and monitoring volcano deformation. Although individuals with GPS experience are welcome, knowledge of GPS is not required. Participants should bring a laptop computer with wireless Internet capability.
