Speaker: Solene Antoine, CalTech Surface deformation associated with continental earthquake ruptures generally includes localized deformation on the faults and distributed and/or diffuse deformation of the off-fault medium. However, the interplay between the different deformation components, and their relative role in the rupture process is not yet well understood, especially for the diffuse component. Moreover, the … Continued

Speaker: Karen Viskupic, Boise State University Bachelor-level geoscientists make up the majority of the geoscience workforce, and job opportunities for bachelor-level geoscientists are expected to grow over the next decade. Jobs for geoscientists span a wide range of industry sectors (e.g., government, private corporations, resource industries) and occupations (e.g., geophysicist, hydrologist, geologist, geo-engineer, environmental scientist). … Continued

Speaker: Alexander Handwerger, JPL/CalTech Landslides are major hazards with significant impacts on both natural and built environments worldwide. A primary objective in remote sensing of landslides is to monitor their behavior and extent, ideally providing early warning before they cause damage or loss of life. In this study, we utilize multiple remote sensing datasets—including satellite … Continued

Speaker: Grace Carlson, University of California, Berkeley Geodetic observations of the Earth’s gravitational and deformational response to changes in terrestrial water storage (ΔTWS) have been essential measurements to characterize hydrological phenomena on a range of spatiotemporal scales. They have been especially useful to characterize and quantify the impact of hydrological hazards like droughts and floods. … Continued

This 5-day course will provide instruction in basic Magnetotelluric (MT) theory and application, including hands-on experience with magnetotelluric (MT) instruments managed by the EarthScope Primary Instrument Center (EPIC) and the evolving landscape of software tools for developing research products with MT datasets. The short course will combine field demonstrations, lectures, guided exercises, and group discussion. Instruction and training … Continued

The Common Sensor Platform team will be presenting information about their initial design and inviting community feedback.

Participants in this workshop will help to update data sets and other time-sensitive resources from InTeGrate and GETSI teaching modules using the newly developed Community Contribution Tool. Workshop is part of the Earth Educators Rendezvous 2024.

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.

The NSTA National Conference in Denver is the largest and most engaging professional learning event for science educators in the nation.

Speaker: Rick Aster, Colorado State University
