In Progress

GERadar

See where in Google Earth your students are, and what they are looking at. This project is currently in development. I'm looking for a computer-savy student to help put the site together (SQL, PHP, Python, and Java knowledge a plus) and a collaborator with an education interest to help with testing.

Google Earth Geo Tutorials

Open-source, research-based, 50-minute tutorials on geoscience topics built using Google Earth. Topics include topographic maps, plate boundaries, and outcrop patterns. This project is currently in development; tutorials and supporting documentation will be released here after testing. I'm looking for other geoscience instructors to help with testing.
