Archived HSGC higher education content rebuilt in the same offline theme as the rest of the bundle, preserving the core resource links, course information, and quick-access academic references.
All the faculty members associated with Space Grant teach undergraduate and/or graduate level courses in astronomy, planetary geosciences, and other STEM disciplines. This reconstructed page keeps the key academic resource links and course descriptions from the archived HSGC higher education page in a cleaner, easier-to-edit layout.
These two featured items were presented as higher-education resources on the archived page and are preserved here with their descriptions and source links.
An online journal and educational site sharing the latest research by NASA-sponsored scientists on meteorites, asteroids, planets, moons, and other materials in our Solar System.
The site offers PowerPoint slide presentations that provide extraterrestrial examples of terrestrial topics. These are relevant to courses in geochemistry, mineralogy, petrology, and related Earth and planetary science subjects.
The archived page highlighted university courses connected to remote sensing, planetary materials, and space science curriculum development.
Offered spring semesters to upper-level undergraduate and graduate students, as well as in-service teachers and workers in the community. The course covers the basics of image generation and image analysis with applications to geology and environmental science.
For upper-level undergraduate and graduate students as well as in-service teachers and workers in the community. The course builds on GG 460 and adds the concepts of high-precision image registration, quantitative analysis, and advanced interpretation methods.
Graduate-level course covering the mineralogical and compositional characteristics of extraterrestrial matter and the implications for the origin and history of the Solar System.
Usually offered fall semesters, this course for pre-service and in-service teachers explores issues and strategies for the development of a space science curriculum. Partnerships with cultural practitioners and astronomers are included along with standards for student performance.
