BESERC II over and out!

Myself and @RyanJJHill had the awesome opportunity to present on improving the fieldwork experience for folks with physical disabilities ♿️

We spoke about practical solutions, planning and technology!

#GeoAccess is so important 😇♿️🌋🦕

Day 3 of #GeoSPACE24!! Beyond excited to join as a TA on this amazing accessible field course. Today we are at Montezuma Castle National Monument, live-streaming @BakingSodaVolc’s lecture to our remote students :)

Prep is in full swing for #GeoSPACE24! We are always trying new ways to build connections between our virtual students and field activities. New this year, we created rock kits with loaner samples from some of our field sites, plus some souvenirs to keep. @AccessibleGEO

@CGKings317 There's a reason we visit every year ✨✨

If you applied for the 2024 field course, we are still in the process of finalizing our cohort!

We expect to have emails out with final selection by Friday, February 16th. Thanks for your patience.

In the meantime, here's the always stunning Grand Canyon 🤩

This time last year I was exploring the awesome geology of Arizona with the incredible @GeospaceUF programme.

The importance of accessing field work is something I will never stop talking about. The confidence, joy and learning I gained from the experience is incalculable 🏜️♿️

SP Crater works well for us because there are interesting things to study near, far and in between. But we want everyone to be a part of all of
it! We set up streaming video with 2 way audio so folks at the summit could share with folks back a base camp. #geospace23

[yesenia lightyear @_vividreams]

I gave my first solo presentation at @geosociety in Oct! I talked about the awesome @GeospaceUF tech setup at SP Crater. We were able to talk to the group at the top of the volcano from the base! You can watch my presentation here: https://t.co/GmYiRycM7I

The application window for the GeoSPACE Summer 2024 field course is now open! Get those apps in for an accessible opportunity to practice field geology, remote sensing, volcanology, and planetary science in Arizona or virtually. @UFGeology @AccessibleGEO https://t.co/xcrJp1XkF8

Another thank you from this year's course goes @USGS_AstroGeo for a tour and talk! Our students and faculty greatly enjoyed meeting people with careers in planetary science, learning about what you all do, and looking at all the cool images and artifacts.

Congratulations Frankie from your GeoSPACE family! We are so proud of you! 🌋

[Frankie Butler @frankiealoise]

Wow… 6 years of hard graft and I’ve only gone and done it!!

Graduation ✔️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Thank you to the amazing University of Aberdeen Geology Department. You’re all incredible 🙌🏼🌋

And a huge thanks to my family for being there through thick and thin ❤️

It is time for another huge thank you, this time to @AccessTrax - last year our wheelchair users had some issues with wheels sinking into the gravel and sand when parked at base camp. Portable flooring was just what we needed and made things much more accessible! #geospace23

We visited Walnut Canyon to practice stratigraphy. But the visit was made extra special when Head Ranger Ryan took the initiative to sign up our disabled students for Access Passes, which gives lifetime access to all national parks. Thank you so much, Ranger Ryan!! #geospace23

We didn't get to visit Sunset Crater last year due to wildfire closures, so it was awesome to take our students to this very accessible volcano this year. Virtual students gave us an intro with remote sensing, then @lisgallant walked everyone through lava flow basics on site.

[GeoSPACE Field Course @GeospaceUF]

Meteor Crater is a wonderful place to study impact cratering and meteors where astronauts train for off-planet geology. The staff are always great with our group, even when we take up too much space livestreaming to our virtual students. Thanks @MeteorCraterAZ! 🚀#Geospace23
