We believe in the central importance of education for understanding the Earth.
This is true whether you plan to be engaged in the search for natural resources, are trying to understand how to manage the environment, or predict future climate and environmental change. Or if you are just interested in knowing how the Earth works. But to fully understand any component of the Earth system, you need to first recognize that it is a system, complex and interconnected. These interconnections need to be included in any lecture course. This also means better understanding our place in this system, which brings politics, population, and economics into any investigation of Earth. We have considerable experience in teaching and research and maintain active relationships with leading university research groups worldwide. For companies, we can provide capability-building resources and services designed to their needs. We can also offer to build and provide materials and courses for schools, universities, and colleges.

Field courses - the case concept
Fieldwork is a key skill in the Earth sciences. Its importance has become more evident during the lockdowns of the last two years where we have not been able to get into the field.
We have built a collection of field 'cases' that takes us to different outcrops, or groups of outcrops, worldwide. With these, we develop regional understanding, concepts, and ideas. Then, using this 'case' approach, we can build courses to best suit your needs. These courses can be run online or in the field. |
White papers, videos and other resources
We have been building a portfolio of materials for students and researchers that are free to download.
