  Plate Tectonics and Earthquakes Through Web Tools and Apps\n
 \nOmni Severin\, McClellan\nLearning about earthquakes and plat
 e tectonics is fun and exciting by exploring real data. In t
 his fun and interactive short course\, you will gain hands-on
  experience with place-based\, data-rich activities and scien
 ce content to teach plate tectonics and earthquakes. You wil
 l explore modern technologies used to study the geology and 
 geophysics of the earth beneath your feet in North America. 
 You will learn how scientists use high-precision GPS and sei
 smic data to discover the inner workings of the continent an
 d how these measurements are important to hazard prediction 
 highlighting the scientific process and practice with these 
 data.\nSunday\, April 1 9:30-10:30 AM\nEarthScope: A Hubble Spa
