Extractions: Part of the Interactive Mathematics and Geoscience Education (IMAGE) project, Geomaths MathHelp provides mathematics self-study material embedded within the geological sciences. MathHelp "notebooks" cover specific mathematical topics accessed through a relevant geological context; for example, power functions through seismic velocities, trigonometry through cliff erosion, and integration through sediment accumulation. The notebooks contain explanations, illustrations, examples and practice quizzes (online, for registered students). Modules are organized into revision, 1st level (corresponding roughly to pre-A level and A-level standard), and 2nd level (for students of Geological Sciences who have A level mathematics or equivalent) respectively. A mathematical glossary is also constantly available.

Extractions: 1) C2 for K-4 Teachers ($13,135) This program, addressing Competence and Confidence, fully complements our Benchmark #5, Aligning Professional Development with Content Standards. Jefferson County Standard #3 at the district level is Data Analysis, and thus the course has been designed around the statement of the standard, key standard components, and benchmarks for K-4 students. The teachers will be taught the content for K-12 students, and will develop lessons using the local SBE template for aligning instruction, assessment, and transfer to the standards. The coaching aspect provides the teachers with assistance in both pedagogy and content knowledge. 2) State CONNECT Activities ($1,865) The funds in this program will provide registration fees and travel expenses for up to five collaborative facilitators to attend the 1997 CONNECT Planning Retreat on July 29-31, 1997 and for up to eight facilitators to attend the Best Practices Conference. 3) Teaching Science with TOYS ($2,500) This highly successful, innovative, and hands-on program has been aligned to the science standards and effectively integrates science and mathematics by developing a firm understanding of basic probability and data analysis. By using well-known games, the fear of relevant mathematical concepts (that seems to be endemic in middle school students, particularly girls) can be diminished. Teachers from Jefferson County Schools, Adams 12, Denver Public Schools, Clear Creek Schools, and Cherry Creek Schools will be invited to participate in the workshops.

Wittenberg University -- Course Descriptions See instructor for details. Laboratory exercises rely on collaborative learningactivities among class members. Prerequisites geology 150. http://www.wittenberg.edu/academics/courses-02sp/geo.html
Extractions: Some fundamental concepts and topics that might be expected in this section include: (1) the structure and physical constitution of the earth, (2) the internal and external dynamic processes operating to modify the earth's surface and near-surface regions, (3) the nature and origin of the continents and ocean basins, (4) some of the methodology, experimentation, and observations used by geologists in attempting to understand the physical and biological evolution of our earth in time. Some attention will focus on the role of the professional geologist and the knowledgeable layperson, as they consider together some current and potential problems arising from continued utilization and modification of our physical environment. Students can expect considerable flexibility in the format of the course. Lecture, discussion and laboratory approaches will be used, supplemented by videos, other visual aids and (perhaps) a field trip. Some background in mathematics is suggested (Math PL22 strongly recommended), as students will encounter lab exercises that incorporate basic math skills, including Algebra. Computers are occasionally used in lab, but no prior experience is expected. Departmental lab manual costs $5. This course has both lecture and separate lab periods that each student must attend.

The Group was established in 1998 following a review and restructuring of the Interdepartmental Group on Geographic Information, itself set up five years earlier. The aim of the Group is to promote effective use of government geographic information. The objectives for IGGI fall into four themes: Communication Best Practice Influence Information Exchange.
Extractions: issue index Economic Geology and Latin America One of the oldest and largest research facilities at the University of Texas, the Bureau of Economic Geology also serves as the Texas Geological Survey. Thus, it has investigated geoscience and natural resource issues within the Texas-Mexico border area for nearly 100 years. As natural systems do not recognize man-made boundaries, following Texas earth systems into Mexico is a logical extension of Texas-based studies. The majestic Orinoco Delta in Venezuela. Mexico and Latin America offer many exciting opportunities for joint research and other collaborative activities with universities and other entities. Among its activities, the Bureau of Economic Geology (BEG) is building partnerships in Latin America that encourage initiatives in fossil energy research and environmental studies. One of the pleasures of research is the interaction with graduate students. For the past thirty years BEG has supported hundreds of graduate students from Brazil, Venezuela, Mexico and Colombia as graduate research assistants. BEG routinely supports about thirty graduate students each semester, about 20 percent of them from Latin American countries. Some of these students have become professors or senior managers and leaders of industry and government agencies in their home countries.

Extractions: take me to the text Overview Research Disciplines Research Centers ... Contact Us Characterizing the Geology of the Bedrock During this phase of the research, we propose to drill four boreholes In addition, bedrock outcrops at Pease will be studied to provide local control on lithology and fracture patterns. All of these analyses will be used to generate a subsurface map of the bedrock at Site 32 and help us begin to understand secondary mineralization of the rock. Mineral coatings on fracture surfaces will be examined using standard petrographic techniques. In Year II, XPS and SIMS will be used to identify mineral types, composition and composition variation. The petrographic data will help determine the history of mineral growth relative to the onset of contamination (e.g., the history (timing) of contamination at a given location).
