If you have empirical research in geocience education, consider submitting an abstract to one of two of these sessions at the Geological Society of America Annual Meeting in Minneapolis, MN. Abstracts are due July 26th. Sessions are being run by collaborators at Purdue, Western Michigan, Michigan State, and other universities. T172. GEOCOGNITION RESEARCH IN CLASSROOM, LABORATORY, AND INFORMAL ENVIRONMENTS /GSA Geoscience Education Division; National Association of Geoscience Teachers/ Sheldon P. Turner (MSU) This session focuses on empirical research in cognition and learning sciences applied to the geosciences in laboratory, classroom, and informal environments, including visualization, problem solving, conceptual understanding, and the nature of expertise. T173. GEOCOGNITION RESEARCH IN FIELD-BASED ENVIRONMENTS /GSA Geoscience Education Division; National Association of Geoscience Teachers/ Eric M. Riggs (Purdue) This session focuses on empirical research in cognition and learning sciences applied to the geosciences in field environments, including navigation, decision making and problem solving, visualization, and the nature of expertise. Thank you for your time, hope to see you in Minneapolis! ~Sheldon Turner
