    Co-evolution of Life and Minerals part of Hydrogeology:Hydrogeology, Soils, Geochemistry 2013:Activities
    Penelope Boston, New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology
    Based on the 2010 Scientific American paper by Hazen, and the more technical 2008 paper of Hazen et al, both of which explore the effect of the biosphere on the tremendous number of mineral species that occur on ...

    Soil Biogeochemical Cycles part of Hydrogeology:Hydrogeology, Soils, Geochemistry 2013:Activities
    Colin Robins, Claremont McKenna College
    This group activity charges students with teaching their colleagues about the biogeochemical cycle of one key soil element (e.g., either C, N, S, P, Ca, or Fe). Students are given a single class period to summarize ...

    Carbon in the Oceans part of Hydrogeology:Hydrogeology, Soils, Geochemistry 2013:Activities
    Amy Townsend-Small, University of Cincinnati-Main Campus
    In this assignment, students in small groups are asked to interpret and explain a figure depicting one aspect of marine carbon biogeochemistry. Then a representative of each group explains the figure to the class.

    Relationship between mineral weathering and groundwater composition part of Geochemistry:Activities
    Nancy Hinman, The University of Montana-Missoula
    By observing changes in rocks exposed to chemical weathering, students are to infer resulting changes to the chemical composition of groundwater. Students are required to justify their inferences through the use of ...
