Dear colleagues,

If you teach geomorphology, paleontology, paleoclimate, marine geology,
and/or sedimentary geology, please consider coming to the Cutting Edge
workshop described below. If you have colleagues who might be
interested, please pass this announcement along to them.

NOTE: Application deadline Feb 17.

Thanks - Heather

This workshop will bring together faculty who teach courses in
sedimentary geology, geomorphology, paleontology, marine geology, and
paleoclimatology to address questions of how to teach these disciplines
most effectively at the undergraduate level. What innovative strategies
can we use to integrate aspects of all of these disciplines into the
courses that we teach for majors? How can we help students develop a
more integrated approach to understanding processes and addressing
research questions within and between these fields? What knowledge and
skills in these areas are particularly critical for undergraduate
geoscience majors? What are the over-arching methodologies that we
should be teaching our students who wish to pursue future
interdisciplinary work in these areas? This workshop will be an exciting
collaborative effort that will address these and related issues in order
to help faculty teach undergraduates these disciplines most effectively.

Conveners: Heather Macdonald, Tom Hickson, Bob Gastaldo, Karen Gran, and
Kevin Theissen
