In
this
semester-long
project,
students
analyze
campus
links
to
greenhouse
gas
emissions
to
try
and
understand
local
links
to
the
global
issue
of
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
They
can
work
independently
or
in
groups
to

greenhouse
gas
emissions
on
their
campus.
The
data
could
be
used
to
make
a
plan
for
a
climate
neutral
campus
through
alternatives

This
virtual
five-day
field
mapping
project
allows
students
to
construct
a
geological
map
from
data
provided
by
the
web
site.
Students
collect
geologic,
structural,
paleontologic,
strain
and
microstructural
data
observed
at
specific
localities.
Students
are
then
able
to
derive
a
structural
history
for
the
area,
including
a
field
map,
stereographs,
and
deformation
plots.
