Presenter: Fiona Luhrmann (Oregon State University)

A panel discussion with geoscientists sharing real-world experiences and career insights. EarthScope Consortium and CRESCENT are co-hosting a virtual Geoscience Career Panel. The goal of this event is to showcase the wide range of careers available to students with a geoscience degree. We’re looking for professionals across various sectors—academia, industry, government, nonprofits, consulting, and beyond—to … Continued

This asynchronous, self-paced course introduces learners to modern Generic Mapping Tools (GMT) through command-line scripting, with a focus on geophysical applications in seismology and geodesy. Participants will build practical skills by working in the terminal environment to process, analyze, and visualize real-world geoscience data using GMT.

Course activities must be completed independently between September 2 and September 25, 2025. Please note: late submissions will not be accepted.

This summer we are running an active review of select topics!

Presenters: Lauren Lewright (Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory), Margie Turrin (Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory) The NSF funded Greenland Rising Project has been a collaboration between Greenland science and community partners and U.S. researchers focused on refining the understanding of changing sea level around Greenland. The project takes a systems view of the impacts on the natural, social and … Continued

The seismology skill building workshop is a FREE ~70 hour online course to build scientific computing and computational thinking skills while working with seismic data. Participants should expect to invest approximately 5-6 hours per week, including participating in the weekly webinar (or watching the recording).  At the end of the workshop participants receive a performance report certificate.

SPEAKER: Sarah Kruse (University of South Florida)Andy Parsekian (University of Wyoming)Beth Pratt-Sitaula (EarthScope Consortium) Enhance your geoscience classroom with the power of hands-on exploration! Near-surface geophysics instruments have a broad swath of applications—from critical groundwater resources to potential hazards— that capture student imagination and deepen learning from introductory to advanced courses. Join us to learn … Continued

Overview: This workshop offers a great opportunity to learn field instrumentation methods you can integrate into a wide variety of undergraduate geoscience courses. Workshop participants will learn practical approaches for creating georeferenced point clouds of high-resolution topography data using Structure from Motion (SfM) photogrammetry and Global Positioning System (GPS) — which can be used to … Continued

Overview: This workshop provides the foundation for Earth science instructors to integrate near-surface geophysics instrumentation and methods into their undergraduate courses — from introductory to majors-level. Geophysics methods can be applied to a wide range of societally important topics, from natural hazards to groundwater resources to forensics and provide a powerful way to engage students … Continued
