Here are two opportunities to learn about teaching geodetic methods (GPS, SfM, and TLS) in undergraduate field courses. WEBINAR: Integrating GPS, SfM, and TLS into Geoscience Field Courses Tuesday April 24 11:00 am PT | 12:00 pm MT | 1:00 pm CT | 2:00 pm ET https://serc.carleton.edu/integrate/workshops/webinars/2017_2018/field_geodesy/index.html Registration deadline Friday April 20 - TODAY SHORT COURSE: Using Kinematic and Static GPS in Undergraduate Field Courses Tuesday August 14, 6 pm - Friday August 17, noon Idaho State University, Pocatello, ID https://www.unavco.org/education/professional-development/short-courses/2018/field-education/field-education.html Application deadline Thursday April 26 - Apply now space limited (most travel costs covered - see website for more information) Please contact me if you have any questions -Beth __________________ Beth Pratt-Sitaula, PhD UNAVCO Science Education Specialist pratts... at unavco.org | 509-899-3480 | www.unavco.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

High Precision Positioning with Static and Kinematic GPS/GNSS https://serc.carleton.edu/getsi/teaching_materials/high-precision/index.html In this module, students will learn the fundamentals of global navigation satellite systems (GNSS, a more universal term than GPS) and how to apply these techniques beyond answering, "Where am I?" This module teaches how high-precision positioning enables geoscientists to track changes in the surface of the earth that would otherwise be imperceptible. Through brief classroom lectures, demonstrations, and field exercises, students learn both kinematic and static positioning techniques. This module is field-focused, minimizing lectures and computer work and maximizing student time spent designing and implementing surveys as well as analyzing the new data. __________________ Beth Pratt-Sitaula, PhD UNAVCO Science Education Specialist pratts... at unavco.org | 509-899-3480 | www.unavco.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
