SUMMARY:March 2022 PG Candidate Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Abigail Knapp\nSubject: Remote Sensing \nPlace: Online webinar. For more information and link contact Abigail Knapp: abigail.s.knapp@gmail.com \nPlease join us for a Saturday morning overview of remote sensing\, with a highlight on the Landsat satellite applications. Remote Sensing falls under the General Geology/Field Methods section of the ASBOG FG and PG questions. In this workshop\, we will go over the electromagnetic spectrum\, remote sensing data collection and processing\, and applications with a special highlight of the Landsat missions and data applications. Abigail Knapp is a geologist in training with an M.S. In Geology from UGA. During her masters’ work she used Landsat and Sentinel 2 satellite data alongside “in-situ” datasets to investigate the drivers of harmful algal blooms in two Georgia reservoirs. \nPlease join us and feel free to forward this announcement to anyone that might be interested. Two Professional Development Hours will be offered at this workshop\, which is open to current AGS members. Signing up for AGS Membership is easy and offers many benefits! Student membership is only $10. For more information\, go to our website at atlantageologicalsociety.org or visit us on Facebook.

SUMMARY:AGS Monthly Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Title: Geology for the Next Generation:  Purposeful Training in Geoscience Education \nAbstract: Education seems susceptible to a particular form of bias. An instructor learns a thing a certain way\, and thus considers this is the way that instruction is done. Over time\, the curriculum of a program builds\, sometimes by the demands of the job market\, and sometimes by the inertia of this bias from the faculty. In his talk to the Atlanta Geological Society\, Dr Ricchezza will present a synopsis of the basics of Geoscience Education Research and how it fits with curriculum design for geoscientists. His talk will include selected case studies from his own research\, and will discuss how we can move forward as a profession to a more diverse workforce that is trained with the skills suited the jobs they find upon graduation. \nSpeaker: Victor Ricchezza \nBio: Dr Victor J Ricchezza is an Assistant Professor of Geology working for Georgia State University’s Perimeter College at the Clarkston campus. Dr Ricchezza has worked at PC since Fall 2020. Before working at PC\, he was an adjunct instructor for the School of Geosciences at the University of South Florida\, where he previously earned a Doctorate in 2019 and a Master’s degree in 2016\, both in Geology. While in graduate school\, Dr Ricchezza focused research in the subfield of Geoscience Education Research (GER). Put simply\, while most geologists study earth materials and processes\, he studies how geologists are trained at the university level\, and how that process can be continually improved. His specialty within GER is quantitative literacy for geoscience\, measuring how geoscientists are taught the quantitative skills they need to succeed professionally. Prior to graduate school\, Vic worked as a high school teacher in Fulton County after a decade in environmental consulting. Vic lives a bit outside Atlanta with his wife and 2 kids\, far too many cats\, and a pile of musical instruments.
