Kelly, Susan Meabh – Science Teacher, 2021
Thanks to the development and deployment of federally funded satellite-, buoy-, and aircraft-based remote sensing instruments, continuous streams of Earth and space data are publicly available via online databases. This accessibility provides flexibility to explore geoscience data that are interesting and relevant to students--keystone components…

Senger, Kim; Betlem, Peter; Birchall, Thomas; Buckley, Simon J.; Coakley, Bernard; Eide, Christian H.; Flaig, Peter P.; Forien, Melanie; Galland, Olivier; Gonzaga, Luiz; Jensen, Maria; Kurz, Tobias; Lecomte, Isabelle; Mair, Karen; Malm, Rie Hjørnegaard; Mulrooney, Mark; Naumann, Nicole; Nordmo, Ivar; Nolde, Nils; Ogata, Kei; Rabbel, Ole; Schaaf, Niklas W.; Smyrak-Sikora, Aleksandra – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2021
The high Arctic is a remote place, where geoscientific research and teaching require expensive and logistically demanding expeditions to make use of the short field seasons. The absence of vegetation facilitates the use of modern photogrammetric techniques for the cost-effective generation of high-resolution digital outcrop models (DOMs). These…

White, Philip B. – College & Research Libraries, 2019
This paper presents a new model for citation analysis, applying new methodological approaches in citation studies. These methods are demonstrated by an analysis of cited references from publications by the Geological Sciences faculty at the University of Colorado Boulder. The author made use of simple Python scripting, the Web of Science API, and…

Lukes, Laura A.; Ryker, Katherine; Millsaps, Camerian; Lockwood, Rowan; Uhen, Mark D.; George, Christian; Bentley, Callan; Berquist, Peter – Scholarship and Practice of Undergraduate Research, 2019
Undergraduates who participate in research experiences are more likely to persist as majors and pursue careers in STEM fields. Traditional undergraduate research experiences often involve field or lab work, which can be costly or have participation barriers for some students. Large, publicly available online datasets provide an alternative. This…

Learning in Earth and Space Science: A Review of Conceptual Change Instructional Approaches
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Mills, Reece; Tomas, Louisa; Lewthwaite, Brian – International Journal of Science Education, 2016
In response to calls for research into effective instruction in the Earth and space sciences, and to identify directions for future research, this systematic review of the literature explores research into instructional approaches designed to facilitate conceptual change. In total, 52 studies were identified and analyzed. Analysis focused on the…
