Enhancing Geophysical Scientific Writing Skills in a Collaborative Assignment

This assignment aims to enhance scientific writing skills in geophysics students by allowing them to pick a region of study with professor approval and synthesize results from various studies using different methods. The students are required to include figures showing data in their papers, focus on organization, interpretation, and synthesis. By engaging in this sequenced writing assignment, students can improve their ability to understand and communicate geophysical data effectively.

  2. Objectives Scientific writing experience Search and read scientific literature (learn to use GeoRef effectively) Synthesize results from different studies using different methods

  3. Features Students pick region of study with professor approval Results from different geophysical techniques are added as covered in class Four versions are graded and suggestions made on first three

  4. What I am looking for Show Me the Data! Figures showing data, not just interpretations, required in paper Organization Interpretation – do they understand what the results represent? Synthesis – can they compare/contrast different techniques and studies
