1 Field-based Learning in Surface and Groundwater Processes: preparing water literate citizens and water resource professionals Sara L. Rathburn 1, Michael Ronayne 1, Stephanie Kampf 2 and Ellen Wohl 1 1 Dept. of Geosciences, 2 Dept. of Ecosystem Science and Sustainability, Colorado State University Warner College of Natural Resources
2 Previous Research Begin GEOL121 Course Redesign NSF Cutting Edge Workshop on Course Redesign Teaching Assistant Seminar NSF CCLI Proposal Develop New Laboratory Manual Concept Tests Groundwater Exercise Perception Survey Revised Groundwater Exercise Additional Teaching Assistant Preparation Increased Student Learning Focus on undergraduate learning of surface water - groundwater interactions in Geosciences at GetWET (modified from Rathburn and Weinberg, 2011)
3 Previous Research GetWET Observatory along Spring Creek (Rathburn and Weinberg, 2011)
4 Previous Research GEOL121 Introductory Geology Lab -Quality of the lesson increased due to a revision of the exercise -Quality of the lab, lesson, and student s understanding of their interaction with surface and groundwater increased with graduate student teaching assistants -Pre- and post-test gains in basic content knowledge increased with additional TA training - questions addressed fundamental surface and groundwater concepts, Bloom s taxonomy (Rathburn and Weinberg, 2011)
5 Key Learning Concepts Integrated groundwater-surface water analysis S Measurement of groundwater levels and river stage. S Assessment of groundwater-surface water interaction. Groundwater flow line Gaining stream Water table contours 6.0 Stream Losing stream
6 GEOL452 Hydrogeology Educational Innovations Spring Creek
7 Current Research Interest in the GetWET beyond Geosciences - Stephanie Kampf, Jeff Niemann, Steven Fassnacht Led to development of 2 nd NSF proposal -Fostering Learning of our Watershed (FLOW): Building a Community of Learners Linked to their River Myriad learning opportunities due to: - spatial variability of surface water and groundwater processes related to diverse geologic, climatic, biologic, and land use characteristics - relevance of local water issues - clear need for increased water literacy avalanches debris flows flooding channel migration avalanches debris flows fluvial
8 Educational Innovations Elevation (m) WR304 Watershed Management S Students write a watershed description using maps and online resources S Calculate watershed elevation, range, and river gradient, and delineate watershed boundaries in the headwaters
9 Educational Innovations Discharge (cfs) /1/2001 3/30/2002 9/26/2002 3/25/2003 9/21/2003 Date Canyon Mouth, naturalized Canyon Mouth Fort Collins WR304 S Students collect, plot and analyze discharge data for the Poudre River at two gaging stations S Evaluate how and why discharge changes over time and space
10 Current Research Four hydrologic field stations comprising the Poudre FLOW Network
11 Objectives: Current Research Improve undergraduate teaching and learning of water concepts at CSU, Front Range Community College, and University of Northern Colorado - Easy access to sound, reliable water quantity and quality data for authentic field, laboratory, and web-based learning opportunities FLOW Website - Digital database for storage and dissemination - Including image archives
12 S Will add critical information about water quantity and quality for use in 12 courses for improved student learning (1,300 students annually in WCNR). Importance of high elevation snowmelt (Richer, 2009), South Fork ungauged. Water conveyance system, transbasin diversions. S Consolidation of data will augment and enhance efforts by Cities of Fort Collins and Greeley. S Water Center for students. S Important water-related issues confront citizens, many of whom are CSU, FRCC, or UNC students. Current Research
13 Current Research S Well installation and development S Piezometers and surface water gauges S Students involved during all phases Gateway Natural Area S Assessments via Geoscience Concept Inventory (GCI) with Steve Anderson (UNC) S Based on 240 student surveys in GEOL120 and 122 S 50% know source of drinking water for Ft. Collins S ~15% could illustrate where groundwater occurs
14 Key Learning Concepts S Surface and groundwater flow measurement S Flow calculation and interpretation S Hydrologic and geomorphic mapping and spatial analysis S Assessing physical-biotic interactions along riparian corridors S Evaluating human impacts to river networks S Assessing alluvial aquifer properties S Computer modeling
15 Educational Innovations New field site at Gateway Natural Area Channel sinuosity enhances the groundwater-surface water exchange (Hayashi and Rosenberry, 2002)
16 Wrap Up S Interdisciplinary, field-based, watershed approach to education at CSU, FRCC, and UNC S A community of learners built around our watershed S Ultimately impact 2200 students in 25 courses S Multi-institutional faculty collaboration developing authentic, innovative educational materials S Strong assessment of student learning S Process of proposal writing is building collaborations S Other CSU, UNC faculty S Poudre River Natural Heritage Area Hayashi, m., and Rosenberry, D., 2002, Effects of Groundwater Exchange on the Hydrology and Ecology of Surface Water, Groundwater 40: Rathburn, S., and Weinberg, A., 2011, Undergraduate Student Satisfaction and Achievement at the GetWET Observatory: A fluid learning experience at Colorado State University, Journal of Geoscience Education 59: Richer, E., 2009, Snowmelt runoff analysis and modeling for the Upper Cache la Poudre River Basin, Colorado, unpublished Master s Thesis, Department of Forest, Rangeland and Watershed Stewardship, Warner College of Natural Resources, Colorado State University, 117 p.
