    Hello Geomorph and Geohazards instructors

    Interested in integrating geophysics methods into your undergraduate Earth surface processes courses?

    As you plan your teaching, consider integrating cutting edge methods that can be applied to variety of societally important geoscience questions, including:

    • landslide mapping and monitoring
    • depth to bedrock assessment
    • high resolution topography point cloud generation 
    • water table location

    Geophysical instruments (GPR, active seismic, GNSS/GPS, electrical resistivity*) are available for loan from the EarthScope Primary Instrument Center for just the cost of shipping**.

    See our Geophysical Field Education page for more information on making requests.

    Also find links to the related free online Teaching Resources on the second tab on the page (after the Instrumentation tab)

    Let me know if you have any questions or want to chat about ideas

    -Beth
