Teaching MARGINS Mini Lessons in ESCI 323 - Earth Structure and Deformation part of MARGINS Data in the Classroom:Instructor Stories
A stimulating introduction to Earth's topography: My course provides Earth Science majors with their first in-depth encounter with Earth structure and plate tectonic processes. Through this lab exercise, students gained first hand experience manipulating and analyzing topographic (and bathymetric) data to interpret plate tectonic settings. My students were highly engaged throughout, and were thrilled to learn how GeoMapApp software could be used to study the Earth, leading them down new paths of inquiry.
