Sediments and the Global Carbon Cycle part of Sedimentary Geology:Activities
This is a series of exercises designed to introduce undergraduate students to the role of sediments and sedimentary rocks in the global carbon cycle and the use of stable carbon isotopes to reconstruct ancient ...
Sediment Dispersal and Continental Margin Stratigraphy part of MARGINS Data in the Classroom:Mini Lesson Collection 2014
This module examines different sediment dispersal systems and their relationships and controls on margin stratigraphy and geometry, using data sets from the Fly and Waipaoa river systems.
Sediments and carbon burial on the continental margins part of MARGINS Data in the Classroom:Mini Lesson Collection 2014
This lesson explores factors that control the character and fate of carbon delivered by rivers from the continents to the oceans, using mapped characteristics and data from 12 different rivers, including the MARGINS Waipaoa and Fly systems.
Exploring sea level change in Google Earth part of Sedimentary Geology:Sedimentology, Geomorphology, and Paleontology 2014:Activities
This is a short activity that uses Google Earth to explore sea-level change as measured by tidal gauges around the world
Exploring Barrier Islands in Google Earth part of Sedimentary Geology:Sedimentology, Geomorphology, and Paleontology 2014:Activities
This is an exploration in Google Earth of the links between barrier island morphology and wave and tidal energy.
Quantification of Critical Shear Stress part of Sedimentary Geology:Sedimentology, Geomorphology, and Paleontology 2014:Activities
This is a lab activity designed to give students experience with the concept and quantification of critical shear stress.
Sediment production and distribution across the margins part of MARGINS Data in the Classroom:MARGINS Mini-Lessons
This activity is an exploration of the relationship among tectonics, sediment production, and sediment dispersal from watersheds to the continental margins. Students will examine data on a suite of watersheds and make measurements and observations in Google Earth or GeoMapApp.
S2S Introduction: The Source-to-Sink Mini-Lesson Series part of MARGINS Data in the Classroom:Mini Lesson Collection 2014
This module focuses on characterizing different river systems to better understand where sediment comes from and the variables that control sediment supply to continental margins in different tectonic settings.
