Auburn University Department of Geosciences

First look at Geo Explorer Auburn, a 35-foot mobile science lab powered by solar energy that visits K-12 schools across Alabama and beyond. Our mission: We help students use scientific thinking and technologies to understand the grand challenges of Earth, Environment, and Society. We are a partnership between Auburn University Department of Geosciences, Auburn University College of Sciences and Mathematics (COSAM), Citizen Science GIS and 15 lightyears. Shares and comments welcome! We can't wait to bring science on the road across Alabama and beyond later this academic year. Share with #GeoExplorerAuburn #GeoExplorerLabs #AuburnGeosciences
