Description
Geoscience is a challenging science to teach. It involves processes that occur over huge scales of time and space, and much of its subject matter is deep underground. Dr Glenn Dolphin, of the University of Calgary in Canada, is committed to tackling this challenge, through connecting teachers and students with authentic research experiences. Find out about Glenn's work and how he was inspired to study geoscience himself.
This resource contains an overview of Dr Dolphin’s research, talking points for your students to discuss his work and activities that can be done at home or in the classroom.
