The IDV may be used to display and analyze satellite imagery, gridded data, surface observations, balloon soundings, radar data and more. Most of the data are provided in real time or near-real time. The IDV can display data anywhere on the globe with a wide selection of map projections and map backgrounds including a 3D spherical globe. Over 20 kinds of 2D and 3D data displays allow users to create cross-sections, profiles, animations and value read-outs of multi-dimensional data sets. A useful feature of the site is the ability to save displays in "bundle" files for use in classroom and lab exercises. Thorough and easy-to-follow directions for IDV installation and use are provided and annual training workshops are offered by Unidata.

Students gather and apply knowledge from multiple disciplines in their quest for solutions. Guided by teachers acting as cognitive coaches, they develop critical thinking, problem solving, and collaborative skills as they identify problems, formulate hypotheses, conduct data searches, perform experiments, formulate solutions and determine the best "fit" of solutions to the conditions of the problem.

The show begins by describing the basics of biocomplexity and quickly moves into a discussion of the difficulties associated with quantitative ecosystem analyses. The specific studies mentioned in this presentation involve reviews of viral, bacterial, and fungal replication experiments designed to gain insight into the dynamics of evolutionary processes. A second portion of this presentation addresses the difficulties inherent in the process of applying the results of digitally produced experiments to the significantly more diverse and dynamic realm of natural ecosystems.

Binary and ternary chemographic diagrams are used to explain compatibility in mineral assemblages. The presentation covers ternary diagrams for complicated systems, ACF and AKF diagrams, projections from apical phases, and J.B. Thompson's A(K)FM diagram is used as an alternative tool to apply to pelitic rocks. Lastly, a set of rules is laid out to help choose the appropriate chemographic diagram.

Looking at the Environment places students in the role of environmental scientists. It engages them in investigations of realistic environmental problems, in which they must make recommendations for sustainable uses of resources. The course is made up of four units: populations, resources and sustainability; meeting the demand for energy; managing water resources; and investigating the local environment. In the course of these investigations, students employ a variety of scientific research techniques, including computer tools for the visualization and analysis of geographic data. These tools will include WorldWatcher, a visualization and analysis tool for learners developed by the project members at Northwestern, My World, GIS for learners developed at Northwestern, and ArcView, a commercial GIS program.

Two datasets are accessed, one from Vostok Station, Antarctica and the other from Greenland (GRIP database). The databases are not directly comparable in terms of their measured parameters (e.g. methane, CO2, oxygen isotope, temperature differential, dust, ice age, gas age, and depth). Students are asked to formulate a question or hypothesis and to look for correlations between any two variables. Operations include importation of data, transformation to a common scale, and statistical analysis using functions available on Excel. The outcome can be in the form of a short report that describes the question, approach, supporting statistics, and outcomes. This is effectively a research experience, the only difference being that the primary data were collected from other sources. There are published results in the literature to which the students can compare their interpretations.This page was constructed by William Locke on Feb. 14, 2002.

SNOTEL sensors collect hourly data on temperature, precipitation and snow water equivalent. Data can be displayed as tables or graphs for individual stations, drainage basins or regions. Data can also be displayed on snowpack maps. The data ranges from the 1970s to the present. Climate studies, air and water quality investigations, and resource management concerns are all served by the SNOTEL network.

SNOTEL sensors collect hourly data on temperature, precipitation and snow water equivalent. Data can be displayed as tables or graphs for individual stations, drainage basins or regions. Data can also be displayed on snowpack maps. The data ranges from the 1970s to the present. Climate studies, air and water quality investigations, and resource management concerns are all served by the SNOTEL network.

It has an easy-to-use interface that allows access to several key earth science data sets. GEIOD is more appropriate for advanced users. It provides a dynamic mapping interface and can be used to access all of the earth science data sets made available by Cornell. Both tools create user-directed, GIS-based maps that can be useful in a wide range of earth science topics, such as plate tectonics, geophysics, sea level change and geography.

C4 produces and disseminates software to be used in chemistry and biology classrooms, both in colleges and high schools. The project specializes in the design and educational use of molecular visualizations and animations. C4 is producing scientifically accurate and visually compelling computer-generated images and animated movies of many important chemicals and processes. Molecules, ranging in size from water to DNA, are the first focus of the project. Computer images can bring molecules "alive" and readily show the sizes, shapes and reactions of hundreds of different compounds. These images are being combined with text, narration and interactive controls to create software tutorials that can be presented by teachers or run directly by students.

C4 produces and disseminates software to be used in chemistry and biology classrooms, both in colleges and high schools. The project specializes in the design and educational use of molecular visualizations and animations. C4 is producing scientifically accurate and visually compelling computer-generated images and animated movies of many important chemicals and processes. Molecules, ranging in size from water to DNA, are the first focus of the project.

The studies include topics such as hydrology, metabolic rate of ecosystems, global change research, and climate data. Currently there are 24 LTER sites located in various ecosystems across the globe, from Antarctica to Alaska. This project is supported by the National Science Foundation and involves research sites in 21 countries. Within the LTER links provide an opportunity to learn more about international ecological research programs and ecological programs for schoolchildren. Documenting long term ecosystem studies aids in the recognition and control of ecological problems. Project areas include: primary ecosystem production, variations in trophic structures, accumulation and decomposition of organic matter, soil nutrient movement, groundwater and surface water movement, as well as documentation of overall ecological disturbances.

The material consists of many MathHelp "notebooks" covering specific mathematical topics related to a relevant geological context, such as plate velocity or cliff erosion. The notebooks contain explanations, illustrations, and examples. A mathematical glossary is also constantly available, providing a brief explanation of mathematical keywords and links to the relevant notebook.

The goal is to develop the concept of creating mathematical models of the world and the use of hypothesis testing as a process of verifying those models. Each chapter is presented in sections, with diagrams, graphs, tables, and extensive notation. Some exercises are offered which use SPSS/WIN 7.0.

This website is not a quantitative course, however this document does provide numerous useful techniques that can be employed in a variety of other coursework to advance the quantitative skills of the student. The first section of this website presents a checklist that can be used to develop exercises which will focus on specific quantitative applications and evaluations. Skills addressed include estimating physical quantities, interpreting graphical data, and applying statistics. The second section of this website is a 4 page text document that describes the importance and difficulties associated with quantitative skills instruction. This paper provides several techniques for increasing the effectiveness of teaching the value of numerical data in earth science studies. The final section includes some other tips that can be applied to current student exercises that will encourage further development of quantitative skills. Some suggestions made in this section include implementing hypothesis testing and applying basic calculation principles to current study topics.
