 About this Site

 

This web site is an attempt to create a virtual community amongst Pacific Northwest educators involved with teaching Geoscience at the community college level. To this end the page is a collection of links to web pages created by northwest community college Geoscience instructors, instructional resources such as virtual field trips and geophysical data sources, and regional Geoscience agencies.

Questions, problems, or other feedback can be addressed to Frank Granshaw at fgransha@pcc.edu
