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…

Ram, Manulal P.; Ajay, K. K.; Nair A., Gopinathan – Higher Education for the Future, 2020
Learning outcomes are inevitably to be declared by any university and educational institution at every level of their programmes. It should have a general scheme for all programmes regardless of the discipline specificities, individual courses or even independent instructional units. Such outcomes are stated at different levels based on the…

Senger, Kim; Nordmo, Ivar – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2021
The emergence of digital tools, including tablets with a multitude of built-in sensors, allows gathering many geological observations digitally and in a geo-referenced context. This is particularly important in the polar environments where (1) limited time is available at each outcrop due to harsh weather conditions, and (2) outcrops are rarely…

McNeal, Karen S.; Petcovic, Heather L. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2017
The calls for a college-educated science and technology workforce, as well as a scientifically literate citizenry, have led to a demand for higher education faculty prepared in discipline-based education research (DBER). These faculty members conduct research on teaching and learning in the context of a specific discipline, including the…

Trott, Carlie D.; Sample McMeeking, Laura B.; Bowker, Cheryl L.; Boyd, Kathryn J. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2020
Undergraduate research experiences (UREs) have been shown to facilitate students' pursuit of graduate studies and careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields, including geoscience. Less is known about why or how UREs have a lasting impact on participants, particularly through graduate school and into careers.…
