Over 100 web sites to help you teach geophysics, organized by geophysics topic

Geophysical Instrument Registry

This is a directory of geophysical instruments available for use on research projects or for student work. You can add your instrument to the registry, or search for instruments.

Field trip safety

Is your department thinking about developing field trip policy documents and forms? If so, we have some sample forms (including one patterned after the OSHA health and safety forms used by consulting firms) plus a short rationale for adopting policies to address the issue of the risks inherent in taking students into the field.
