Working with USGS discharge data part of Hydrogeology:Hydrogeology, Soils, Geochemistry 2013:Activities
In this exercise, we use the USGS real-time data available online, and use it to construct a rating curve for the Walla Walla river near Touchet. We then make a simple model of flood inundation in ArcGIS for the ...

Investigating Earthquakes: GIS Mapping and Analysis (College Level) part of Starting Point-Teaching Entry Level Geoscience:Teaching with GIS:Examples
This is a college-level adaptation of a chapter from the Earth Exploration Toolbook. The students download global quake data over a time range and use GIS to interpret the tectonic context. -

Visualizing the impact of storm surge and sea level rise on coastal communities part of Integrate:Workshops and Webinars:Teaching about Risk and Resilience:Activities

Using Google Earth to Explore Plate Tectonics part of Teaching Methods:Teaching with Google Earth:Examples
Students use Google Earth to learn about plate tectonics by exploring the topography of the earth's continents and ocean floor, the distribution of earthquakes and volcanoes, and seafloor age. They become familiar with these global data sets and understand how Earth's tectonic plates and plate boundaries are defined.

Landscape Interpretation and Visualization Using A GIS part of GIS and Remote Sensing:Activities2
This is an educational activity page from the On the Cutting Edge collection that presents a GIS-based lab exercise for undergraduate geomorphology students to interpret and visualize landscapes using digital elevation data, comparing analog topographic map skills with modern GIS tools like ArcGIS, Spatial Analyst, and 3D Analyst to enhance spatial reasoning and understanding of terrain-forming processes. auto-generated The author of this page didn't provide a brief description so this one sentence summary was created by an AI tool.
