Earth science and life with the goal of understanding what makes a planet hospitable. Topics will include atmospheric sciences, oceanography, soil science, ecology, planetary science, plate tectonics, deep and early Earth processes, and volcanism. This program will include a 5 day field trip to the Western US. Competitive students will be interested in how the Earth works and be willing to travel. Majors from physics, chemistry, geology, environmental science, biology, computer science, or related

State University. He has recently received funding from the National Science Foundation to conduct field work in the SW Alaska Range to study the tectonics of the region. This project has a strong undergraduate research component as well as an outreach component for teachers/students associated with the Michigan Earth Science Teachers Association (MESTA). As a result, he is keeping a blog about the experience. Much of the focus of the posts are geared toward geology in the field and the challenges

authenticity of cutting-edge research while making that science inviting, accessible and useful to K-12 teachers and students, she added. Participants will learn how geoscientists developed the current understanding of Pacific Northwest plate tectonics, earthquakes and volcanoes, and how EarthScope research is advancing this knowledge. The University of Portland, the lead institution, will host the first workshop this summer, with the following two held at PLU. “The location of PLU is excellent,” Whitman

to better understand large-scale tectonics. Students will interpret rock samples and 8 datasets to produce a comprehensive petro-tectonic analysis in a research-group like setting. Includes labs. Prerequisite: ESCI 201 or consent of instructor. (4) ESCI 387 : Special Topics in Earth Science To provide undergraduate students with new, one-time, and developing courses not yet available in the regular curriculum. The title will be listed on the student term-based record as ST: followed by the

change, past and present, including the impact of climate changes on earth systems, and the disproportionate impact these changes will have on communities around the globe. Prerequisite: ESCI 201. (4) ESCI 345 : Tectonic Petrology This class introduces igneous and metamorphic petrology by following rock compositions through several tectonic processes to see how petrology can be used to better understand large-scale tectonics. Students will interpret rock samples and 8 datasets to produce a
