Education Outreach…
Junior Geologerne
We were honored to contribute to this resource for educators in Denmark to strengthen their student´s knowledge of the geological sciences. Includes ready-to-go lectures, inspiration for field trips and short exercises, and inspiration to students interested in pursuing higher education in the geosciences. (Danish language)
