Modifying an existing Earth science course to include an Earth system emphasis

geoarchaeology in Jordan

Established departmental courses can be adapted to introduce and include Earth system approaches by:

  • Creating an introductory module to frame the course
    1. see 'sphere analysis of a volcano' (http://ete.cet.edu/gcc/?/volcanoes_teacherpage/)
  • Adding a Earth system science-based laboratory to existing course
    1. Example: An Explorer's Guide to the Earth System by Ellen P. Metzger, Prentice-Hall, 2002
