Improving the Quantitative Training of Earth Science Graduate Students: February 21-22, 2006. Carleton College, Northfield, MN.
This two-day meeting brought together faculty and graduate students to discuss the quantitative preparation of geoscience graduate students. Participants included faculty supervising graduate students in quantitative areas spanning the earth, atmosphere, and ocean sciences; current graduate students in these areas; and faculty teaching undergraduate students in the spectrum of institutions preparing students for graduate work.
Developing Quantitative Activities for Upper Division Geoscience Students: June 27-29, 2005. Carleton College, Northfield, MN.
This workshop brought together 2 groups of faculty who teach surface processes or climate and global change in upper division college courses. The groups worked side-by-side to refine activities and materials for publication on the website.
Teaching Quantitative Skills in a Geoscience Context: July 15 - 17, 2004. Carleton College, Northfield, MN.
This workshop brought together a small group of faculty to create resources for teaching quantitative skills in the geosciences that can be broadly disseminated via the web.
Teaching Quantitative Skills in a Geoscience Context: July 24 - 27, 2002. Carleton College, Northfield, MN.
The goals of this workshop were to bring together mathematicians and geoscientists to examine their complementary approaches to teaching quantitative skills and to develop materials that advance the teaching of mathematics in a geologic context throughout the curriculum.
Building the Quantitative Skills of Non-Majors and Majors in Earth and Planetary Science Courses : January 22 - 24, 1999. College of William and Mary, Williamsburg, Virginia.
This workshop explored the issue of quantitative skills in geoscience curricula in terms of the varying needs and perspectives of a variety of institutions.
