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

Speakers: Eric Baer (Highline College), Rory McFadden, (SERC), Beth Pratt-Sitaula (EarthScope Consortium) Struggling to help your Earth science majors build the quantitative skills they need? The EarthScope-led NSF-funded The Math Your Earth Science Majors Need project is presenting a webinar as part of the National Association of Geoscience Teachers webinar series. Join us for this … Continued

Overview: Quantitatively skilled Earth science graduates are critical to meeting the needs of the workforce and the country. This virtual workshop will introduce Earth science instructors to co-curricular math and statistics modules and work with instructors to develop implementation plans for using the materials during the 2025-26 academic year. This workshop will gather ~20-30 undergraduate instructors and facilitators to … Continued

This technical short course, facilitated by the EarthScope Consortium, is designed to introduce participants to MsPASS, a powerful framework for processing seismic data on HPC and cloud systems. The course aims to teach seismologists how to effectively manage waveform metadata using MongoDB, understand modern computing cluster concepts, and leverage cloud computing for seismic data analysis.

This course will cover the theory and application of repeat-pass synthetic aperture radar interferometry (InSAR) using the software GMTSAR. Lectures and exercises will be given to teach the basic theoretical aspects of InSAR. Labs will include software installation, running test data sets for standard interferogram formation, as well as more advanced processing for time series with Sentinel-1A TOPS-mode data.
