Using Light Stable Isotopes to Assess Stream Food Web Ecology in a General Ecology Laboratory Course
Peer reviewed
Direct linkCarroll, Hannah M.; Houston, Derek D.; Ankerstjerne, Suzanne; Wanamaker, Alan D., Jr. – Journal of Biological Education, 2021
Stable isotopes in natural materials provide a powerful way to study energy flow in many systems and are widely used in fields such as archaeology, ecology, forensics, geochemistry, geology, oceanography, palaeoecology and palaeoclimatology. Based on the manner in which stable isotopes fractionate in natural systems, they allow scientists to…

Charlevoix, Donna J.; Morris, Aisha R.; Russo-Nixon, Kelsey; Thiry, Heather – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2022
The Geo-Launchpad Program is a pre-Research Experience for Undergraduates (pre-REU) providing a summer internship and professional development for two-year college (2YC) students from Colorado. The program goal was to build students' interest and capacity to engage in geoscience-focused STEM career pathways. The pre-REU helped students develop…

Chelsea Nagy; Jennifer Balch – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2025
Today's data-driven world requires earth and environmental scientists to have skills at the intersection of domain and data science. These skills are imperative to harness information contained in a growing volume of complex data to solve the world's most pressing environmental challenges. Despite the importance of these skills, Earth and…

Donahue, Maria Magdalena Sandoval – ProQuest LLC, 2016
The timing and processes of development of the high topography and high relief of the southern Rocky Mountains of Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico has been controversial for over a hundred years. This study applies several different methodologies towards understanding the timing and relative importance of the events that uplifted and shaped the…

Sexton, Julie M. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2012
Rivers are important surficial geologic processes that shape Earth's landscape. Students' conceptions of river features and processes serve as a foundation for their learning of new river concepts. Despite the importance of rivers and students' conceptions of them, little research has focused on identifying students' river conceptions. This study…

Greenberg, Jeffrey K.; Hefley, Daniel; Brice, Peter; Hoti, Arben; Engel, Allison; Erkman, Caleb; Yates, Jonie; Webb, Forrest; O'Rourke, Katie; Ademi, Kaltrina – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2012
Geology is increasingly involved in the planning and implementation of community development projects throughout the globe. A partnership among the Water For Life organization, Wheaton College in Illinois, and the village of Tushile in Kosovo during the past few years has proven to be successful in potentially sustainable improvements, including…

Miller, Jeffrey – Science Teacher, 2011
To effectively use digital resources in the classroom, teachers must customize the information, merge it with pre-existing curriculum, differentiate it for diverse student populations, and still meet standards-based learning goals. This article describes a solution to these challenges: the Curriculum Customization Service, which provides access to…

Benson, Robert G. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2010
Geospatial skills are critical to effective geologic mapping, and many geoscience students experience challenges in developing good geologic interpretation and projection skills. A physical (non-virtual) underground mine mapping simulation in a building on the Adams State College campus in Alamosa, Colorado, provides an excellent cost-effective…

Bikson, Tora K.; Kalra, Nidhi; Galway, Lionel A.; Agnew, Grace – RAND Corporation, 2011
The National Science Foundation's (NSF) National Science Digital Library/Distributed Learning (NSDL) program turned 10 years old in 2010. This report presents results of a preliminary program evaluation carried out by RAND and is organized around three principal goals: (1) Provide an initial evaluation of NSDL based on existing information…

Hallar, A. Gannet; McCubbin, Ian B.; Hallar, Brittan; Levine, Roger; Stockwell, William R.; Lopez, Jimena P.; Wright, Jennifer M. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2010
Ethnic and racial minorities constitute an important part of the geosciences community because of their diverse perspectives and backgrounds. However, the geosciences have the poorest diversity record of all the science and engineering fields. Recruitment of minorities is important and numerous programs are focusing on engaging students in…

Shepardson, Daniel P.; Wee, Bryan; Priddy, Michelle; Schellenberger, Lauren; Harbor, Jon – International Journal of Science Education, 2009
The purpose of the present study was to investigate students' conceptions of the hydrologic cycle and to examine whether these conceptions vary by grade level and community setting. This study was descriptive in nature and reflected a cross-age design involving the collection of qualitative data from 1,298 students from the Midwest, USA. These…

Laursen, Sandra L.; Brickley, Annette – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2011
Scientists' involvement in education has increased in recent years due to mechanisms such as the National Science Foundation's "broader impacts" expectations for research projects. The best investment of their effort lies in sharing their expertise on the nature and processes of science; film is one medium by which this can be done…

Carlson, Scott – Chronicle of Higher Education, 2008
In a time of expensive energy and concerns about climate change, land may be a major asset for colleges, providing a vastly different opportunity than it did in the past, when it was merely a place to set down new buildings, new campuses, or research parks. Since new alternative-energy technologies like wind and solar demand a lot of land--along…

Wise, Sarah B. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2010
A large online survey of Colorado public school science teachers (n = 628) on the topic of climate change instruction was conducted in 2007. A majority of Earth science teachers were found to include climate and climate change in their courses. However, the majority of teachers of other science subjects only informally discuss climate change, if…
