Instructor Workshop: Teaching Near-surface Geophysics to Undergraduates from Intro to Majors

July 29-31 2025
Colorado School of Mines, Golden, CO

Deadline to apply – April 18, 2025

This workshop is for instructors interested in incorporating one or more near-surface geophysics instrumental methods into their undergraduate course/s. Community college and introductory-level instructors, as well as majors-level instructors, are all encouraged to apply. Later-stage graduate students with significant teaching responsibility are also eligible.

The workshop will provide hotel accommodation and food during the workshop and up to $750 reimbursement* towards travel expenses.

*Travel support must go to US citizens/permanent residents or people at US institutions. If you do not qualify for travel support but are interested in attending and can pay your own way, please contact the email below.

Participants of the 2022-2024 near-surface geophysics teaching workshops have already learned this content. Please check with Beth Pratt-Sitaula (beth.pratt-sitaula@earthscope.org) if you have questions.

Although the workshop will include multiple geophysical methods, each participant will focus more heavily on one near-surface method (GPR, seismic, or resistivity) and GPS/GNSS surveying. If you have a preference for particular method(s), please specify below.
(You will have another opportunity to indicate your interest if you are accepted to the workshop, but we are curious to learn your initial thoughts. See GETSI Field Teaching Modules to learn more about the different methods and EarthScope Geophysics Field Education for instrument loan information. (Links open in new windows)

Please select the method(s) you would most prefer as your emphasis area. Select all that apply.
