Summary
The University of Texas at Austin, Bureau of Economic Geology (UT-BEG) will engage students and teachers who live along the coast in the study of the natural beach environment. Middle and high school students, teachers, and scientists will work together to gain a better understanding of dune and beach dynamics. Students and teachers will learn how to measure the topography, recognize and map the vegetation and shoreline, and observe weather and wave conditions. By participating in an actual research project, the students will obtain an enhanced science education. Furthermore, public awareness of coastal processes will be heightened, and the students’ efforts will provide coastal communities with valuable data on shoreline change.Basics
