Cooperative Institute for Dynamic Earth Research (CIDER)
CIDER has held a number of summer programs since 2003 where leading geoscientists in many fields gave talks on various aspects of the deep Earth. Many of these presentations contain visuals and data that can be of use in developing deep Earth teaching activities. Below we have provided direct links to some of these presentations on the CIDER site, broken down by the topic of the talk.
