The Geotechnical, Rock & Water (GROW) Digital Library consists of geotechnical, rock & water engineering resources harvested from the web and elsewhere, and resources developed by the GROW team. The items developed by the GROW team focus on interactive educational resources for active learning that are "story-booked" to emphasize active learning and provide a learning experience.

This
site
examines
the
variability
of
volcanic
environments
and
the
physical
and
chemical
controls
on
eruption
dynamics.
Environments
of
volcanism
are
discussed
in
terms
of
plate
tectonic
theory
and
include
spreading
center,
subduction
zone,
and
interplate
volcanism
along
with
a
detailed
discussion
of
the
Earth's
structure
and
internal
heat.
Physical
and
chemical
controls
of

This
Earth
Observatory
site
contains
detailed
information
on
the
carbon
cycle
of
the
Earth.
It
provides
an
explanation
of
the
role
of
carbon
in
the
geologic
carbon
cycle
followed
by
a
discussion
of
carbon
in
the
life
process,
including
photosynthesis
and
respiration.
Carbon
sinks
on
land
and
in
the
ocean
are
covered
next,
followed
by
the
human
role
in
the
cycle.
Lastly,

This
photographic
and
descriptive
record
describes
a
12-day
field
trip
to
the
Skaergaard
intrusion
of
east
Greenland.
This
intrusion
is
a
classic
geologic
locality,
where
a
large
basaltic
body
of
magma
cooled
and
crystallized
in
the
shallow
crust.
It
has
layering
and
other
structures
that
are
among
the
world's
best
examples
of
magma
chamber
dynamic
processes.
The
area
also
contains
several
glaciers

This
three
part
activity
has
students
set
up
experiments
to
help
them
better
understand
the
atmospheric
portion
of
the
carbon
cycle.
From
this
activity,
they
will
be
able
to
explain
the
concept
of
sources
and
sinks
as
they
relate
to
carbon
dioxide,
the
use
of
indicator
solution
bromothymol
blue
(BTB)
to
reveal
the
presence
of
carbon
dioxide,
and
the
qualitative
differences
between
animal
and
fossil

This
resource
uses
text
and
animation
to
depict
the
various
processes
that
produce
caves.
For
example,
microbes
feeding
on
the
deadly
gas
hydrogen
sulfide
long
ago
excreted
sulfuric
acid
that
helped
carve
out
Lechuguilla,
Carlsbad.
Geologists
and
microbiologists
working
in
a
still-growing
Mexican
cave
provided
the
extraordinary
evidence
needed
to
convince
skeptics.
Other
ways
that
caves
form

This
article,
from
Earth:
Inside
and
Out,
takes
a
look
at
the
widespread
influence
of
the
Nobel
Prize-winning
chemist
Harold
C.
Urey.
It
covers
his
discovery
of
deuterium
and
the
large-scale
process
he
devised
for
obtaining
water
with
high
proportions
of
this
isotope.
The
role
of
Urey
as
director
of
the
Atomic
Bomb
Project
at
Columbia
University,
along
with
his
contributions
to
the
atom
bomb
and

In
this
activity,
students
will
differentiate
between
requirements
for
life
in
extreme
environments
such
as
hydrothermal
vents
and
other
environments
and
will
use
soft
candy
as
a
model
to
create
a
visual
image
of
chemicals
involved
in
autotrophic
nutrition.
As
they
review
the
biochemistry
of
hydrothermal
vents,
they
will
discover
what
chemicals
are
used
by
autotrophs
in
extreme
environments
in

These
are
the
teaching
notes
for
a
case
study
in
which
students
are
presented
with
data
on
a
particular
lake
that
they
must
synthesize
in
order
to
determine
the
cause
of
an
event
that
occurred
in
1986
in
Cameroon,
Africa.
The
case
centers
on
Cameroon's
Lake
Nyos,
a
volcanic
lake
which
released
a
large
quantity
of
carbon
dioxide
gas,
killing
over
1700
people,
livestock,
and
wildlife
in
the
area.
