Abstract The Alouette primary aluminum smelter is the largest in Americas, with an annual production of ~ 630,000 t aluminum. In this collaborative study, a detailed product carbon footprint analysis was undertaken by Rain Carbon using large body emissions data to provide complete cradle-to-gate smelter’s emissions. total 2019 3914 kg CO 2 e/t for scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, 1835 e 1 modeling results were compared those global average Canadian smelters, reference datasets developed...
Abstract. Integrating mineralogy with data science is critical to modernizing Earth materials research and its applications geosciences. Data were compiled on 95 650 garnet sample analyses from a variety of sources, ranging large repositories (EarthChem, RRUFF, MetPetDB) individual peer-reviewed literature. An important feature the inclusion mineralogical “dark data” papers published prior 1990. Garnets are commonly used as indicators formation environments, which directly correlate their...
Following the model of University Colorado at Boulder Learning Assistant (LA) program, College Science (COS) Mason began its own LA program in 2012. The is a key segment STEM Accelerator and keystone for retaining students COS enabling them to graduate timely manner. has now supported over 300 undergraduate LA’s since it's inception through both internal external funding. very successful increasing grades, engaging large lecture classes, faculty better utilize ALT classroom, retention...

Abstract The Paleoproterozoic Ironwood Iron-Formation, a Superior-type banded iron formation located in the western Gogebic Iron Range Wisconsin, is one of largest undeveloped ore resources United States. Interest development this resource complicated by potential environmental and health effects related to presence amphibole minerals Ironwood, consequence Mesoproterozoic contact metamorphism. these amphiboles their metamorphic origin have long been recognized; however, recent interest has...
In this work, we will describe the STEM Accelerator program in College of Science that is tasked with four major goals increasing number majors, improving retention rates students, reducing their time to graduation, and helping them join workforce or continue education upon completion Bachelor's degree disciplines. Created as an interdisciplinary unit, division consists faculty members from multiple departments who have special responsibilities besides teaching include coordinating promoting...
The Teaching Inquiry Group (TIG) is a team of six faculty members from STEM disciplines who are conducting research about their teaching. group met through AY 15-16, and was mentored by an expert in self-study methodology the Graduate School Education. TIG meetings have focused on interactive teaching including, as method, developing topic for self-study, questions, identifying “critical friends groups”. facilitates critical reflection maintaining open dialogue; this enables them to think...
Geologists often state that “the best geologist is the one who sees most rocks”, however, there little to no documentation directly supports this claim. Very has been done on assessment of field based, experiential learning classes except in fields outward bound and outdoor leadership. All GMU students BA Geology BS Earth Science must take GEOL404 Geological Field Techniques. Students spend 6 weeks mapping (individually teams) local geology interpret geologic history area. It an interesting...
BRIEF SESSION DESCRIPTION:With the growth of active learning teaching spaces across campus it is increasingly important to consider how we prepare and run our classes. This will be a multi-strand workshop examining new models for these including using assistants, A¢â¬Aorals.A¢â¬Â A Participants able describe/locate space features around strategies effectively engage students in spaces. A Strategies can adapted use tradiational classrooms as...
Location: Dewberry Hall Getting evidence-based pedagogy in the classroom, particularly for large lecture classes, can be a challenge. The learning assistant project provides method getting those techniques into classroom. overall experience students with chance to develop themselves as learners while helping other
