Decades ago, pioneering petroleum geologist Wallace Pratt pointed out that oil is first found in the human mind. His insight remains true today: Across geoscience specialties, mind arguably geoscientist's most important tool. It converts colors and textures of dirt, or blotches on a satellite image, wiggles seismogram, into explanatory narratives about formation migration oil, rise fall mountain ranges, opening closing oceans. Improved understanding how humans think learn Earth can help...
Abstract Background The substantial growth in gamification research has connected gamified learning to enhanced engagement, improved performance, and greater motivation. Similar gamification, personalized analytics dashboards can enhance student engagement. Objectives This study explores the experiences academic achievements using a dashboard large, introductory STEM course. Methods We examined two groups of students enrolled different sections one‐semester‐long physical geology course with...
Abstract The journal Earth and Space Science ( ESS ) was founded in 2014 to offer the scientific community a new platform for dissemination of key data, observations, methods, instruments, models, presented within context their application. Thus, aim (and is) highlight complexity importance experimental design, methodology, data acquisition processing, intertwined with interpretation. Such approach is consistent mission most AGU journals, but distinctive element its focus on concept useful...
Abstract The Editors and Staff of Earth Space Science thank the reviewers whose selfless work has significantly contributed to publication process papers highlighting best research in geophysics, planetary, space science 2024. Peer‐reviewing is a demanding thankless job. It however an essential component scientific process, requiring highest standards integrity rigor. Reviewers check data procedures test reproducibility methods results; they share their expertise verify that interpretations...
A descoberta do tempo geológico revolucionou o pensamento científico e conduziu ao desenvolvimento das modernas Ciências da Terra. Apesar disso, pouca atenção é dada para as consequências culturais sociais de longo alcance geológico, que vão bem além sua influência sobre Geociências. Este ensaio resume a literatura descreve dificuldade os estudantes encontram compreender profundo, fornece uma visão geral histórico relevância cultural sugere maneiras aumentar compreensão dos alunos...
The geoscience education research (GER) community has produced a collaborative framework that summarizes guiding questions for future to inform and improve undergraduate teaching learning. GER Framework (St. John [Ed.], 2018a) was developed through an iterative process involving multiple stages of input. In total, approximately 200 educators researchers contributed this project in one or more the following capacities: as authors, reviewers, survey respondents, workshop participants, webinar...
First and last occurrences of 389 diatom species from the first global Cenozoic record are used to reconstruct position major oceanographic boundaries. appearances extinctions group in three latitudinal bands: middle high northern latitudes, equatorial region, southern latitudes. Sparse Paleogene were limited latitudes along equivalent modern Antarctic polar front. Its late Eocene Miocene varied within 10°, a 20° band present, suggesting an association with cooling. occurrence events appear...

Results from the Volcanic Concept Survey (VCS) indicated that many undergraduates do not fully understand volcanic systems and plate tectonics. During 2006 academic year, a ten-item conceptual survey was distributed to undergraduate students enrolled in Earth science courses at five U.S. colleges universities. A trained team of graders scored 672 completed surveys, coding responses each item with score, out 3, based on accuracy comprehensiveness. Questions requiring only basic content...
As part of a campus-wide effort to transform introductory science courses be more engaging and accurately convey the excitement discovery in science, curriculum an physical geology lab course was redesigned. What had been series “cookbook” activities transformed into sequence based on scientific inquiry cooperative learning. The first two semesters were spent developing implementing new activities, refining them. In second semester each these phases, students enrolled completed 15-question...

Abstract NSF ADVANCE has been instrumental in supporting institutional practices leading to the increased representation of women STEM. However, research suggests culture and evolve slowly, much progress remains create a collaborative supportive work environment where scientists, mathematicians, engineers can thrive, particularly those with intersectional identities, including color caregiving responsibilities. A partnership four midwestern universities joined together late 2019 adapt,...
Abstract Department chairs are crucial in impacting departmental climate, conveying expectations, and providing merit assessments. Therefore, they have the most influence retaining highly qualified faculty. Most department come from faculty ranks lack formal training key management, communication, administrative skills, including performance reviews, resource allocation budgeting, legal compliance issues, promotion tenure determinations, conflict resolution, inclusive management of people...
Calibrated Peer Review ™ (CPR), a web-based instructional tool developed as part of the National Science Foundation reform initiatives in undergraduate science education, allows instructors to incorporate multiple writing assignments large courses without overwhelming instructor. This study reports successful implementation CPR large, introductory geology course and student learning geoscience content. For each assignment this study, students studied paper resources, wrote an essay, reviewed...
This study examines the effects of an extended authentic research experience on students' understanding nature science (NOS) and self-efficacy toward science. The curriculum introductory physical geology lab was transformed to include a six-week, student-driven project focused local groundwater surface water issues. Students' NOS measured by using modified version Student Understanding Science Scientific Inquiry questionnaire (n = 181) their vocational survey 179). Data were collected...
With recent U.S. government efforts to develop policy procedures for addressing climate change, public understanding of basic aspects change is imperative in order people understand such policy. However, widespread misconceptions atmospheric principles exist among the public. In this study, we document levels misunderstanding that undergraduate students at a large research institution have with respect carbon budgets and factors may account variability their understanding. Students enrolled...
Abstract. A visually realistic tornadic supercell thunderstorm has been constructed in a fully immersive virtual reality environment to allow students better understand the complex small-scale dynamics present such storm through data probing. Less-immersive versions have created that run on PCs, facilitating broader dissemination. The activity tested introductory meteorology classes over last four years. An exercise involving was first used by subset of from large course spring 2002. Surveys...
