Enhance your geoscience classroom with the power of hands-on exploration! Near-surface geophysics instruments have a broad swath of applications—from critical groundwater resources to potential hazards— that capture student imagination and deepen learning from introductory to advanced courses.

Join us to learn about ready-to-use teaching modules developed by EarthScope and community partners featuring seismic refraction, ground penetrating radar (GPR), electrical resistivity, and GPS technologies. Learn how these tools connect theoretical concepts to real-world applications in environmental science, urban planning, and engineering.
