Constructing a 3D bathymetry model part of Our Resources:Teaching Resources:Teaching Materials Collection
Student groups build a scaled cardboard physical model of a seafloor feature in a box, and then close the box and affix a scale. Student groups then swap boxes and perform "soundings" to determine which ...

How Many People Can the Aquifer Support? part of Our Resources:Teaching Resources:Teaching Materials Collection
This aquifer simulation allows students to investigate the effects of adding a city and a farm, and adding wells with different pumping rates to meet human consumption needs. Students can observe the changes in the water table, wetlands, and river outflow through generated graphs and use the simulation to analyze the effects of human activity, drought, and climate change on the availability of fresh water.

Soup Can Water Budget part of Our Resources:Teaching Resources:Teaching Materials Collection
During this first of five activities, students use materials to create an apparatus and process to investigate the ultimate destination for water falling on a watershed. Students make quantitative measurements and ...

The Earth's Heat Budget part of Our Resources:Teaching Resources:Teaching Materials Collection
Hands-on laboratory activity that allows students to investigate the effects of distance and angle on the input of solar radiation at the Earth's surface; the role played by albedo; and the heat capacity of ...

Developing evaluation systems that value diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts: an active workshop for the geosciences part of Our Work:Professional Development:Webinars:Developing evaluation systems that value DEI
This workshop is aimed at helping the geosciences answer recent calls to action by revising promotion and tenure (P&T) and evaluative systems to clearly value and reward diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts. In this workshop, we will discuss geoscience faculty perceptions and engagement in DEI work, as well as perceptions of DEI work within the context of evaluative systems from recent nation-wide interview and survey results. Participants will be guided to work collaboratively and develop mechanisms by which they can meaningfully value DEI work within annual evaluations and P&T policies.
