Great Basin Geology

This channel features a growing collection of Nevada geology tutorials and is maintained through National Science Foundation funding as part of the broader impacts criterion in NSF grants. One grant is revealing ancient uplift and exhumation rates of the Ruby Mountain metamorphic core complex while the second grant focuses on seismic activity along the 1915 fault ruptures in Pleasant Valley, south of Winnemucca. Using creative, accessible, inclusive outreach opportunities, and incorporating multi-disciplinary undergraduate students from diverse backgrounds in the design and development of instructional materials such as tutorials, as well as publications, we hope to change the paradigm for broader impacts in federally funded grants.
