Icon indicating an expanding panel.Teaching Environmental Justice with Geoscience.

Gary Gomby, Central Connecticut State University, garygomby@ccsu.edu.

Description: This highly relevant and timely short course describes the rationale for and process involved in teaching environmental justice with a geoscience focus. Case studies contextualize geoscience within a framework of justice and equity, thereby increasing the relevance of basic geoscience to address societal issues.

Richard W. Allmendinger, Cornell University, rwa1@cornell.edu.

Description: This short course covers how to use the GMDE family of desktop and iOS programs for field work and in your teaching, with an emphasis on workflows. The course will use texture-shaded LiDAR digital terrain models (DTMs), which are reminiscent of X-rays through tree cover.
