2016 Webinar -- Developing Quantitative Skills Using Geoscience Data and MATLAB®

This webinar will showcase the webpages and resources that have been designed collaboratively by SERC and Mathworks to help you explore how teaching with MATLAB can enhance the student learning environment in undergraduate Earth Science and related courses. The webinar will explore common challenges of teaching quantitative skills, focusing on teaching data visualization and data analysis. Three faculty members from across the globe will share teaching activities that address these common challenges, using geoscience examples that utilize MATLAB as a tool.

2003 GSA Contributions: Using Data to Teach Earth Processes

An illustrated community discussion at the 2003 annual meeting of the Geological Society of Americas. This session was designed to allow the entire GSA community to come together to share and discuss how we use data to help students learn concepts, think scientifically, and develop their skills in making interpretations and communicating conclusions. We invite contributions from throughout the geosciences involving all kinds of data in the full spectrum of approaches to helping students of all ages learn geoscience.
