An Undergraduate Environmental and Earth Sciences Laboratory

东北路易斯安那大学地球科学系正在开发一个环境与地球科学实验室的教学部分。正在为研究和社区服务部分提供国家和相应的私人资金。该学习中心作为一个独特的本科教学设施，将气象、地质和地理研究与分析和显示信息以及可视化生态系统主要元素所需的资源整合在一起。它扩展了一个研究实验室，将现代气象数据采集、存储和分析系统与地理信息系统相结合。通过学习中心，在发现过程中涉及专业和非专业的新练习中，利用实际情况，在本科教育中发生了令人兴奋的改进。这有助于学生更好地理解基本的科学原理，可视化抽象概念，并考虑新的数据类型，如多普勒雷达产生的数据。

9451818 Pani The teaching component of an environmental and earth sciences laboratory is being developed by the Department of Geosciences at Northeast Louisiana University. State and matching private funds are being provided for the research and community-service components. The learning center serves as a unique undergraduate teaching facility in which meteorological, geological and geographical studies are integrated and co-located with the resources needed to analyze and display information and to visualize major elements of ecosystems. It expands a research laboratory combining a modern system for acquisition, storage, and analysis of meteorological data with a geographical information system. Through the learning center, exciting improvements in undergraduate education occur as new exercises using actual situations involving both majors and non-majors in the discovery process. This helps the students to better understand basic scientific principles, visualize abstract concepts, and consider new data types such as those produced by Doppler radars.
