• Geoscience must come together with other disciplines as our nation and the world struggle with significant environmental and resource challenges.
• Meeting these challenges will require a savvy public, a new kind of workforce, and a broader understanding of geoscience by all who engage these issues

Global climate system - link together many of the topics on the basis of the most recent modeling
for future trends
Climate patterns - short-term time scales (seasonal, decadal), implications for severe weather
events, ocean/atmosphere
Hydrologic cycles – supply and demand,
contamination, landscape change
Infectious diseases - environmental
factors may affect distribution, transmission,
severity of diseases
Biological diversity - biomes, geological past, implications for future
Biogeochemical cycles -
movement of key elements
(e.g., C, N)
Land use - ecosystem changes (e.g., deforestation)
and implications for biological diversity and biogeochemical cycles
Energy resource availability - balance between energy security
and development of less environment-friendly sources in
North America
Hazard awareness - preparation for future
natural disasters, predictions, cost/benefits
Mineral resource development -
population, wealth distribution, technology,
limited supplies, recycling, waste
management

GEODESY TOOLS FOR SOCIETAL ISSUES GETSI
• Develop and disseminate teaching and learning materials that feature geodesy data & quantitative skills applied to critical societal issues such as climate change, water resources, and natural hazards

GETSI-SERC RELATIONSHIP• GETSI & GETSI Field Education largely use the
InTeGrate model for development (as practical)• GETSI largely uses InTeGrate assessment process for
module quality and student learning evidence• GETSI site is hosted by SERC• Ellen Iverson (SERC) will our project
evaluator and lead assessment consultant (if we get the IUSE funding)

GETSI FIELD EDUC GUIDING PRINCIPLESA. Address one or more geodesy-related grand challenges
facing societyB. Develop student ability to address interdisciplinary problems
and apply geoscience learning to social issuesC. Improve student understanding of the nature and methods
of geoscience and developing geoscientific habits of mindD. Make use of authentic and credible geodesy field methods
and data to learn central concepts in the context of geoscience methods of inquiry
E. Increase student capacity to apply quantitative skills (GETSI) to geoscience learning(InTeGrate focuses on systems thinking)
• Develop systems thinking* Referred to as Guiding Principles for Curriculum Design
![Page 16: Introduction to GETSI-Field Guiding Principles](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022021921/58f2e2d21a28ab4c338b466b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
PEDAGOGIC GOALS
• Engaged, student centered, research based pedagogy supports higher order learning
• Alignment of goals, materials and assessments supports and documents learning
• Develops scientific thinking and an understanding of the process of science
• Materials can be used successfully in multiple settings
![Page 17: Introduction to GETSI-Field Guiding Principles](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022021921/58f2e2d21a28ab4c338b466b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
IMPLEMENTATION GOALS
• Materials are used widely by faculty across the country
• Learning by students can be documented to show increased higher level understanding of sustainability and geoscience
• Materials are used in courses outside geoscience departments

A. GRAND CHALLENGES
• GPS (high precision) methods can be used to address what societal issues…?– Monitoring mass movement, earthquake hazard,
volcanic haz, that threatens infrastructure/life– Environmental change (ex. stream change) –
human and natural– Post disaster rescue/resource mission– CHANGE DETECTION
![Page 23: Introduction to GETSI-Field Guiding Principles](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022021921/58f2e2d21a28ab4c338b466b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
C. NATURE AND METHODS OF SCIENCE
Integrating Geoscientific thinking into learning materialsSingle most important thing you can do is to simply make your thinking explicitInclude opportunities for scientific communication (writing, presentations• Think aloud to students as you reason through a geoscientific question• Ask students to explore the uncertainty in data rather than just the
data itself• Add reflective prompts to existing activities that involve open-ended
inquiry or research projects• Ask students how and why they would address a problem rather than
solve the problem (Ex. designing a field investigation)• Difference between observation & interpretation
![Page 24: Introduction to GETSI-Field Guiding Principles](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022021921/58f2e2d21a28ab4c338b466b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
C. NATURE AND METHODS OF SCIENCE1. What are ways you help your students learn geoscientific
ways of thinking?
2. How might it be included in the High Precision Positioning module?
