Concept puzzles about geophysical methods part of Geophysics:Workshop 07:Geophysics Activities
These exercises can be used in class to insure students have a firm grasp on the concepts behind a variety of geophysical techniques and can take anywhere between 10-45 minutes.

Photo observation & interpretation part of Structural Geology and Tectonics:Structure, Geophysics, and Tectonics 2012:Activities
Each week in Structural Geology, I assign students the task of sketching, describing, and interpreting an image. The images are chosen to match the relevant course material for that week. There is a specific form ...

Skill puzzles part of Structural Geology and Tectonics:Structure, Geophysics, and Tectonics 2012:Activities
These are short exercises that allow students practice with concepts in Structural Geology, Tectonics, or Geophysics. (Many of them were designed with Eric Horsman.) The basic idea is to give students opportunities ...

Focal mechanism sphere part of Structural Geology and Tectonics:Structure, Geophysics, and Tectonics 2012:Activities
This see-through sphere helps students visualize how slip on a fault relates to the focal mechanism representation of the same deformation.

Acquisition of Data Sets for Gravity Inversion Laboratories part of CISMI:For Carleton Faculty:Curriculum Development Projects
We collected gravity data across two canyon-spanning bridges in the southwest, USA. These data were analyzed and modeled by students in Geophysics.
