Kamen T. Engel; Jonathan Davidson; Alison Jolley; Ben Kennedy; Alexander R. L. Nichols – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2024
A virtual microscope resource was created when face-to-face labs were halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020 to replicate the learning goals of an introductory petrology course on microscopy. This virtual microscope resource utilized images and videos of thin sections, as well as 3D rock models to allow students to complete labs online.…

Shea, James H. – Journal of Geological Education, 1973
A series of three investigations are developed utilizing earthquake data and a calculator system with a card reader, X-Y plotter and printout device. The investigations involve determining the spatial distribution of earthquake hypocenters with the goal of having students work with realistic data. (DF)

Neuman, Arthur Edward – Journal of Geological Education, 1987
There is a need for abstracting topography other than for mapping purposes. The method employed should be simple and available to non-specialists, thereby ruling out spline representations. Generalizing from univariate first-degree least squares and from multiple regression, this article introduces bivariate polynomial functions fitted by least…

Mayer, Larry – Journal of Geological Education, 1987
Described is the use of a microcomputer and computer software to simulate the use of geological equipment. The technique uses pictures of the control panel (with switches and dials that can be activated) and a story board that can provide the simulation. A simple seismograph is used as an example of possible simulations. (RH)

Robertson, Douglas Frederick – Journal of Geological Education, 1987
Described is a computer simulation that was used to help general education students enrolled in a large introductory geology course. The purpose of the simulation is to learn to interpret incomplete data. Students design a plan to collect bathymetric data for an area of the ocean. Procedures used by the students and instructor are included.…
