Analog Modeling of Tectonic Processes
May 13-15 Amherst, Massachusetts
Application for workshop participation
Anyone engaged in or interested in analog modeling may apply for the workshop.
Financial support for travel, housing and meals is limited to 30 US-based participants. Preference for support (partial or full) will be given to:
- students, post-docs, early career scientists,
- particpants from under-represented groups (please state in the text box),
- participants who present research (analog or not) at the workshop and
- participants who submit analog modeling curriculum materials to the Science Education Research Center database prior to the workshop.
Application information
- Name
- Institution
- Position
- Provide us with some information:
- short abstract of the research that you will present, and/or
- a short description of the curriculum materials that you will share, and/or
- a statement of your interests in the workshop
If you wish to submit both a research abstract and teaching activity, enter both within the text box. You will hear from us in early April about the support available for your travel. At that time we will ask for a final version of abstrac, description etc.

How to submit curriculum materials to SERC
The Science Education Research Center (SERC) at Carleton College maintains a databse of curriculum materials in geosciences. Analog modeling activites will probably fall under one of several On the Cutting Edge collections. Choose
- Teaching structural geology in the 21st century (contribute activity)
- Teaching with data, simulations and new tools (contribute activity)
- Teaching Geophysics in the 21st century (contribute activity)
Chose which collection best suits your activity. The searchable dsatabse accesses all collections. An example search of the SERC database for "analog modeling tectonics" can give you a sense of the variety of activities. The SERC database already has some wonderful curriculum materials but we know that many more activities are successfully being used to engage students learning tectonic processes. We ask that workshop particpants who submit a teaching activity to the database before the workshop give short demonstrations/presentations on their activity at the workshop.
