New InTegrate Module Published
published Feb 6, 2015 3:47pmThe InTeGrate project is pleased to announce the publication of the new Interactions between Water, Earth's Surface, and Human Activity module.
Developed by Professor Sue DeBari, Western Washington University, Professor Kyle Gray, University of Northern Iowa, and Professor Julie Monet, California State University-Chico, this two-week teaching module focuses on water and its importance to humans, both as a limited resource and in shaping Earth's surface. Students see that river systems change shape over time, are influenced by climate and by human activity, and affect human activity, for example through flooding. Students develop their understanding while working in small groups, through interaction with simplified physical models of complicated systems, with Google Earth images of stream profiles in different climates, and with real river flooding data sets. Interactions between Water, Earth's Surface, and Human Activity is a great fit for courses in Earth science, environmental science, water resources, and introductory geoscience.
