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…

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…

Stassun, Keivan Guadalupe; Burger, Arnold; Lange, Sheila Edwards – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2010
We describe the Fisk-Vanderbilt Masters-to-PhD Bridge program as a successful model for effective partnerships with minority-serving institutions toward significantly broadening the participation of underrepresented groups in the physical sciences. The program couples targeted recruitment with active retention strategies, and is built upon a…

Incorporating Informal Learning Environments and Local Fossil Specimens in Earth Science Classrooms: A Recipe for Success
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Clary, Renee M.; Wandersee, James H. – Science Education Review, 2009
In an online graduate paleontology course taken by practicing Earth Science teachers, we designed an investigation using teachers' local informal educational environments. Teachers (N = 28) were responsible for photographing, describing, and integrating fossil specimens from two informal sites into a paleoenvironmental analysis of the landscape in…

Gosselin, David C.; Thomas, Julie; Redmond, Adrienne; Larson-Miller, Cindy; Yendra, Sara; Bonnstetter, Ronald J.; Slater, Timothy F. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2010
Laboratory Earth, a series of three NASA-Sponsored, on-line graduate courses for K-8 teachers, was designed to meet a variety of learning styles and appeal to teachers' motivation to learn the content and improve their teaching. This is especially important to teachers as they seek to demonstrate "highly qualified" status to meet No…
