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 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 ...

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, ...

Using WILSIM-GC to Model Rock Erodibility in the Grand Canyon part of WILSIM:Activities
Kyle Whalley, Northern Illinois University
Students use the computer simulation WILSIM-GC to explore how the "rock erodibility" of the walls of the Grand Canyon affects the shape and development of the canyon.

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.
