To date, students who have participated in the GeoEngage program have created geoscience informative products for public education in local parks and college campuses. Check out these educational resources below.
Project 1: Where's All the Water?
Description: At NVC, three students worked with Government Canyon State Natural Area personnel to develop an audio tour for the park's Discovery Trail. The tour highlights the geologic setting of the park that forms part of the recharge zone of the Edwards Aquifer, which provides San Antonio's water supply.
Project 2: What Are Important River Features Along the Medina River?
Description: At the UTSA, seven students worked with the San Antonio River Authority to develop scientifically informed signs for visitors to the new Henrick Arnold Nature Park.
- View prototype sign 1 (Hendrick Arnold Nature Park: Flooding)
- View prototype sign 2 (Hendrick Arnold Nature Park: Medina River Floodplain and Terraces)
- View prototype sign 3 (The River Geomorphology of Hendrick Arnold Nature Park)
- View prototype sign 4 (Protecting the Medina River Watershed)
Project 3: What's Under Your Feet at Northwest Vista College?
Description: At NVC, eight students worked together to develop poster presentations about the geology on their campus for the SciTober festival held on campus.
- View poster 1 (Austin Chalk & Karst Invertebrate Species)
- View poster 2 (Surveying Austin Chalk for Karst Features)
Project 4: What's Under Your Feet at Palo Alto College?
Description: At PAC, three students worked together to write and publish a feature news story about the geology on their campus for the Pulse magazine, the student newspaper.
Project 5: What Was the Environment Dinosaurs Lived in the San Antonio Area?
Description: At UTSA, four students worked with Government Canyon State Natural Area personnel and UTSA faculty to develop a 3D digital model depicting the rock outcrop near dinosaur tracks along the Joe Johnston trail and explaining key geological features of this outcrop.
Check out the 3D model.
