School Y7 food investigation. Data collected from 3 year 7 classes using Microsoft, map and symbolised in Esri ArcGIS Online. Students can then investigate where their food comes from.

#HowIUsedGISToday

Prep for GCSE fieldwork on Monday meant using the Chromebooks to allow the pupils to explore the area we'll be visiting to familiarise themselves with the geology.

Embedding GIS as the norm involves little moments like this when I choose GIS over paper.

#HowIUsedGISToday

I used a simple choropleth map of GNI pc on a GIS map to allow pupils to explore how changing the class intervals changes the story.

Maps are inherently value-laden. The cartographic choices we make influence the stories we tell. Let's tell worthy stories.

✨🔊Step into Christmas🔊✨
Christmas placenames around the world great stories incl AI contribution. More to add!

#HowIUsedGISToday

It was time to use a satellite thermal image of the December 2022 eruption at Semeru to check the accuracy of my pupils hazards & evacuation maps.

#HowIUsedGISToday

1/ Y14 pupils using GIS & satellite imagery to produce a hazards map for Semeru.

They used data from the Nov 21 eruption to map evacuation routes for the potential eruption in Nov 22.

Next lesson, we'll see how accurate their forecasts were!

#HowIUsedGISToday

Exploring SDG 6 (Sustainable water) with GCSE pupils today, we used Sentinel 2 satellite images to explore how well we're doing on our own doorstep in NI, exploring eutrophication a mile down the road at L. Neagh. Shocking to see the extent. Much work to be done in NI. #geogchat

#HowIUsedGISToday

Y14 pupils using the measure tools to collect data from an ArcGIS map to analyse the measures taken by the Icelandic authorities to manage the ongoing lava flows at Grindavik.

They added their data to research they are conducting on the earthen embankments.

#HowIUsedGISToday

Great geographical (secondary)data collection today with Y14s. We used AGOL to familiarise ourselves with prior lava fields, then used this graph to find satellite images of each lava flow.

Must all data collection be primary? Is remote sensed data collection still fieldwork?

#HowIUsedGISToday

Exploring the hazards of lava flows with Y14 today, we used Sentinel Hub to explore the ongoing lava flows around the Grindavik area, Iceland, looking at the various flows & how the authorities have responded.

The timelapse function is superb for this. #geogchat

#HowIUsedGISToday

A geography teacher friend of mine from another school told me yesterday how she used my off the shelf GIS resource on the 2021 eruption in La Palma.

On this #GISDay I share it again. Everything you need in one handy package, totally free!

#HowIUsedGISToday

Horizontal Heat Transfer with Y13s today, and means only one thing - earth.nullschool in action!

1. Cold temps (1C) over the UK now linked to northerly flow from Svalbard
2. Two weeks ago, mild (14C) temps due to airflow from near Canary Islands.
3. Ocean currents

#HowIUsedGISToday

Teaching hotspots & mantle plumes to 6th form, I put together a GIS map showing the main hotspots across the world. As always, GIS enables the theory of a model to be explored in real world settings.

#HowIUsedGISToday

1/ As my 6th formers continued to explore evidence for plate tectonics, today it was time to use seismic-explorer.concord.org to look for corroboration for slabs sinking into the mantle.

This allows us to take simplified cartoons of subduction & apply them to the real world.

#HowIUsedGISToday

Exploring the issues of climate change & wildfires in Alaska with my 6th formers, we used @sentinel_hub Copernicus Browser to find recent fires & the pupils created animated gifs showing the lifespan of the fires. A powerful way to teach an important topic.

#HowIUsedGISToday

1/ We were exploring seafloor topography as evidence for seafloor spreading. I gave the pupils a plan view map of the bathymetry of SE Pacific & asked them to draw a cross section transect along AB.

#HowIUsedGISToday

Do you fancy exploring Google Earth for Pangea? Then look no further than this amazing GIS tool. My pupils went hunting for countries & continents, including the Central Pangean Mountains - one clue Wegener saw for Continental Drift.
