1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 From: Rachel Teasdale <RTeasdale@xxxxxxxxxxxx> *GEodesy Tools for Societal Issues (GETSI) Project presents the mini-course:* *Teaching about <https://serc.carleton.edu/getsi/workshops/virtual_mini_shortcourse/course_5/index.html>Monitoring Volcanoes and Communicating Risks* (Intro-level undergraduate module) - Date: Wednesday, February 24, 2021 - Time: 8-10 am PT | 9-11 am MT | 10 am-12pm CT | 11 am-1 pm ET | 4-6 pm UTC - *Registration <https://serc.carleton.edu/getsi/workshops/virtual_mini_shortcourse/course_6/registration.html> deadline: Monday, February 22, 2021* This mini-course gives instructors a chance to learn about the *Monitoring Volcanoes and Communicating Risks* <https://serc.carleton.edu/getsi/teaching_materials/volcanic_hazards/index.html> intro-level GETSI module and ideas for teaching virtually and in-person. It will include interactive opportunities for instructors to actually work through parts of student exercises, discuss ideas with peers, and work on implementation planning. A great opportunity to learn a range of geodetic methods used in volcanic monitoring such as GPS, InSAR, lidar, and tilt meters. *$50 stipend** for completion of the course and short implementation plan. All module units are online-ready or online-adaptable. Volcanoes garner fascination and fear with students and the general population. In this module, students will examine real data, geodetic and other ways of monitoring for three different styles of volcanoes at Hawai'i, Mount St. Helens, and Yellowstone in order to better forecast for volcanic eruptions and assess risks for surrounding communities based on different volcanic properties. This also includes students examining data from all stages of USGS alert levels from Normal to Warning. The impact of volcanic activity on surrounding communities is also considered along with ways that societal variables play a role in assessing risk for a given region. *This is part of a larger series with other upcoming opportunities.* *GETSI Virtual Mini Short Course Series* <https://serc.carleton.edu/getsi/workshops/virtual_mini_shortcourse/index.html> The series is designed to support undergraduate instructors interested in using GETSI modules â?? teaching resources that feature data and quantitative skills applied to critical topics such as natural hazards, climate change, and water resources. Each mini-course is two hours long and will focus on one of the published GETSI modules. Unlike a webinar, these mini-courses will include interactive opportunities for instructors to actually work through parts of student exercises, discuss ideas with peers, and work on implementation planning. *$50 stipend is* available.* - Teaching about *Planning for Failure: Landslide Analysis for a Safer Society* <https://serc.carleton.edu/getsi/workshops/virtual_mini_shortcourse/course_7/index.html> [Majors-level module] - Date: Thursday, March 11, 2021 - Time: 12-2 pm PT | 1-3 pm MT | 2-4 pm CT | 3-5 pm ET | 8-10 pm UTC - Registration deadline: March 9 - Teaching about *Modeling Flood Hazards* [Majors-level module] - Date: Thursday, March 25, 2021 - Time: 12-2 pm PT | 1-3 pm MT | 2-4 pm CT | 3-5 pm ET | 8-10 pm UTC - Registration will open in late February *Stipend for participants who complete the Implementation Planning Form by the Sunday after the mini-course. Must be a US citizen or permanent resident to receive a stipend; however, others are welcome to participate without compensation. You may attend multiple mini-courses. Stipends will be compiled and sent out after the end of the term during which the mini-course was held. GETSI is funded by the US National Science Foundation. All modules are free and distributed online via the GETSI website <http://serc.carleton.edu/getsi/index.html>. 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 ------------------------------ End of Volcano Digest - 19 Feb 2021 to 22 Feb 2021 (#2021-18) *************************************************************
