2012 Workshops
Programs that Bring Together Geoscience and Sustainability
May 23-25, 2012, Stanford University, Palo Alto, CAApplication deadline: March 5, 2012
This workshop will bring together undergraduate faculty from across the disciplines to share challenges and successful strategies for programs integrating sustainable perspectives and geoscience. We encourage applicants from the geosciences, other sciences, social sciences, economics, and humanities.
Teaching the Methods of Geoscience
June 27-29, 2012, plus optional field trip June 30, Montana State University, Bozeman MTApplication deadline: March 30, 2012
The methods and ways of thinking that are intrinsic to Earth science differ in important ways from the experimental method that is commonly taught in schools as the scientific method. This workshop is for undergraduate faculty who are interested in integrating explicit teaching about the methods of geoscience into their classroom.
Systems, Society, Sustainability and the Geosciences
July 24 - 26, 2012 - Carleton College, Northfield, MNApplication deadline: April 20, 2012
This workshop is for undergraduate faculty from all disciplines who are interested in a stronger integration of geoscience and other perspectives in teaching sustainability. We encourage applicants from the geosciences, other sciences, social sciences, economics, and humanities.
Partnership Workshop: Teaching Environmental Geology, from On the Cutting Edge
June 2-6, 2012, Montana State University, Bozeman Application deadline: March 1, 2012
This workshop connects with the InTeGrate project by emphasizing how geoscience literacy is integral to environmental challenges. Session topics will focus on exploring ways to effectively teach environmental geology in undergraduate Earth science courses.
