Fall 2020 : (Wednesdays at noon Central Time)
November 18 - Wrangling Uncertainty with the Hurricane Explorer - Chris Lore, The Concord Consortium
The GeoHazard project (https://concord.org/our-work/research-projects/geohazard/) is focused on developing learning materials exploring natural hazards as well as their predictability, impacts, and risks. GeoHazard developed a five-activity curriculum module ( https://learn.concord.org/geo-hurricane) to help students wrangle with the uncertainty in hurricane forecasts. Students now have the ability to run hurricane scenarios with Concord Consortium’s new Hurricane Explorer model (http://hurricane.concord.org). Students use the model to learn about the factors that influence the track of a hurricane and the ways in which a hurricane has the potential to impact those in its path. tectonic plates on a sphere, choose the boundary types, and explore what happens as a dynamic plate tectonic model runs then investigate a data visualization tool to observe earthquake and volcanic eruption patterns along plate boundaries.

December 2 - Exploring the Spread of Wildfires and Investigating their Risk - Chris Lore, The Concord Consortium
The GeoHazard project (https://concord.org/our-work/research-projects/geohazard/) is focused on developing learning materials exploring natural hazards as well as their predictability, impacts, and risks. The Wildfire Explorer model (https://wildfire.concord.org/) merges calculations of wildfire spread with visualizations of fire expanding over landscapes similar to those in the Midwest and western United States. Students can experiment with five variables in the model to understand the effect of wildfire spread: 1) terrain, 2) drought levels, 3) vegetation type, 4) wind speed, and 5) wind direction.
Spring 2019 : (Wednesdays at noon Central Time)
April 3 - GEODE plate tectonics visualization tools - Amy Pallant, The Concord Consortium
Make your own tectonic plates on a sphere, choose the boundary types, and explore what happens as a dynamic plate tectonic model runs then investigate a data visualization tool to observe earthquake and volcanic eruption patterns along plate boundaries. https://learn.concord.org/geode
