GeoCode Webinar : Using GPS Data to Visualize Plate Movement and Assess Earthquake Risk

How can students use coding to explore plate deformation, earthquakes, and their impacts on humans? The online curriculum module "Assessing Seismic Hazards and Risk with Code" engages high school students in Earth science and computational thinking while investigating seismic hazards and risks in a programming environment called GeoCoder. Students build simple block-based programs to create simulations and map visualizations of ground motion, deformation, and strain based on high-precision GPS data. This module is being developed as part of the GeoCode project, funded through an NSF STEM-C grant.

Participants will get hands-on experience with the GeoCoder and the curriculum module pages that students use. GeoCoder is freely available to all internet users. Funded by the National Science Foundation.
