GETSI - GEodesy Tools for Societal Issues
The GETSI teaching materials feature geodetic data and quantitative skills applied to societally important issues (climate change, natural hazards, water resources, environmental management). These materials were designed and developed by teams of faculty and content experts, underwent rigorous review and classroom testing, and are ready for use in your undergraduate classroom or field course. Both introductory and majors-level modules available.
