Objective: create something that uses the ICE-D database to support teaching, lab, or even field exercises. Not sure exactly what this will look like, but imagine a teaching exercise where one used photos, DEMs, aerial imagery, and possibly other data to relate exposure ages from some landform in the database to the properties of the landform and the samples. Then having looked closely at one landform and figured out its age, you could be given a wide array of data from other landforms in the same region and asked to put together a picture of what LGM glaciation looked like. But lots of other things would obviously be possible. Like, imagine something like this:

With the ability to walk up to boulders that had been exposure-dated and look at the sample locations and exposure ages. That would be cool.

Who potentially involved: Folks involved in undergrad teaching.

What’s needed in advance: prototype exercise that should give an idea of what is possible.

Where and when: NDSU?
