Unit 3: Static GPS/GNSS Methods part of High Precision Positioning with Static and Kinematic GPS
Ben Crosby, Idaho State University
The application of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) in the earth sciences has become commonplace. GNSS data can produce high-accuracy, high-resolution measurements in common reference frames. Static GNSS ...

Unit 4: Anatomy of a tragic slide: Oso Landslide case study part of Surface Process Hazards
Becca Walker, Mt. San Antonio College
Landslides can have profound societal consequences, such as did the slide that occurred near Oso, Washington in 2014. Forty-three people were killed and entire rural neighborhood was destroyed. In this unit, ...

Unit 5: Mitigating future disasters: developing a mass-wasting hazard map part of Surface Process Hazards
Becca Walker, Mt. San Antonio College
This unit serves as the summative assessment of the Surface Process Hazards module. In September 2013, the Boulder area of Colorado experienced an extreme rain event that led to mass wasting in many areas. This has ...

Landslide Mapping and Analysis part of Cutting Edge:Enhance Your Teaching:Teaching with Online Field Experiences:Activities
Alison Duvall, University of Washington-Seattle Campus
The purpose of this module is to familiarize students to empirical methods of mass movement hazard analysis, to provide them training in mapping and analyzing inventories of landslides from lidar datasets, and to ...

Module 4: Exploring the Grand Canyon Using WILSIM-GC: Changing multiple parameters simultaneously part of WILSIM:Activities
Kyle Whalley, Northern Illinois University
Students explore the effects of changing multiple parameters simultaneously in WILSIM-GC. Through this exploration, students develop an understand of how the physical model parameters interact with each other, and relate those interactions to the geological processes that control the development of the landscape.

Module 2: Exploring the Effects of Each Model Parameter in WILSIM-GC part of WILSIM:Activities
Kyle Whalley, Northern Illinois University
Students use WILSIM-GC to simulate the development of the Grand Canyon, and learn about how each variable in the simulation affects the resulting topography.

Module 1: How Stratigraphy and Fluvial Processes Affect the Development of the Grand Canyon part of WILSIM:Activities
Kyle Whalley, Northern Illinois University
Students examine the relationship between fluvial processes, stratigraphy, and landform evolution. Fundamental concepts of fluvial geomorphology are introduced in the context of the development of the Grand Canyon.

Using the "Visualization Interval" in WILSIM-GC to Model the Shape of the Grand Canyon Through Time part of WILSIM:Activities
Kyle Whalley, Northern Illinois University
Students use the computer simulation WILSIM-GC to explore what the Grand Canyon might have looked like at various times in its history.

Using the "Simulation End Time" Parameter in WILSIM-GC to Model the Shape of the Grand Canyon in the Past and Future part of WILSIM:Activities
Kyle Whalley, Northern Illinois University
Students use the computer simulation WILSIM-GC to explore what the Grand Canyon might look like in the future, assuming that the processes that have shaped it until now continue at similar rates.

Using WILSIM-GC to Model the Cliff Retreat Rate in Grand Canyon part of WILSIM:Activities
Kyle Whalley, Northern Illinois University
Students use the computer simulation WILSIM-GC to explore how the "cliff retreat rate" of the walls of the Grand Canyon affects the shape and development of the canyon.
