InTeGrate supports the
teaching of
geoscience in the context of societal issues both within geoscience
courses and across the undergraduate curriculum. Our goal is to develop
a citizenry and workforce that can address environmental and resource
issues facing our society. 
Why InTeGrate? Why is it
important to teach geoscience in the context of societal issues? How do
we support the needed changes in the undergraduate curriculum? more »
What do we mean by 'Societal Issues'?
So many of the major challenges that face us as a species are
intertwined with the larger Earth system. These issues are key hurdles
in our path to long term sustainability. more »

Teaching Materials and Strategies
Bringing the intersection of geoscience and societal issues into the
undergraduate classroom requires both new teaching materials and
innovative teaching approaches. InTeGrate supports this through
collection and organization of existing community expertise as well as
an ambitious effort to develop new curricular modules targeted at
InTeGrate's core themes.
Undergraduate Program Design and Development
Movement in the undergraduate curriculum toward more strongly
addressing geoscience and societal issues is reflected in program level
change. Learn how successful programs have met the challenges of
evolving in this direction, and how you can support change at your own
institution.
