	Join us in northern Wyoming for educational field workshops in mapping, geology, and paleontology, led by professional geoscientists. In 1999, a group of geoscientists and a couple of local retirees combined their interests in geoscience research and educational activities and created GeoScience Adventures. Our goal is to provide quality earth science educational programs, centered in the Bighorn Basin and Big Horn Mountains, and led by professional geoscientists. NOTE: The 2013 educational workshop offerings are now posted – click on WORKSHOPS GeoScience Adventures, a public outreach organization comprising an instructional staff of professional geoscientists, offers teacher workshops that carry both recertification and graduate credits. These summer workshops are conducted as a series of three-day short courses that explore the geological and paleontological record of northern Wyoming. Our Educational Workshops are developed and led by members of our Science Team, assisted by visiting instructors who are respected geoscientists with many years of experience in their respective fields of expertise. We believe that we have the best instructional team of its type in our area and our workshop participants agree. These workshops are now conducted under the umbrella of the Bighorn Basin Geoscience Center, Inc., an approved 501 C3 non-profit educational corporation with museum and offices in Greybull, Wyoming. Workshop participants learn to read and interpret the geological record of paleoenvironments, paleoclimate, ancient ecosystems, and mountain building events. In addition, new techniques and concepts are taught that can be readily adapted to various grade levels. Teachers taking the workshops for credit must develop and submit a lesson-plan derived from their workshop experience. Assessment of the program based on discovery-based exercises, post-workshops evaluations, and anecdotal feedback indicate that participants substantially increase their confidence and interest in teaching earth-science concepts. Professional recertification credits or college credits available – see workshops . Drs. Brett-Surman and Farlow with Workshop Participants at the Red Canyon Ranch Dinosaur Digsite Our educational workshops utilize the extensive geological and dinosaur fossil resources of Shell Valley in Wyoming’s Bighorn Basin, along with the nearby Big Horn Mountains, as “living classrooms” in order to increase the participant’s knowledge of earth science. These workshops will visit world-class dinosaur fossil-bearing localities with scientists who have done extensive research on these deposits. The basin is home to no less than four major dinosaur digsites, plus well over 1,000 documented ancient mammal and plant scientific collection sites. The majority of the field activities are conducted near Shell, Wyoming, which is ideally located 15 miles east of Greybull, Wyoming, 60 miles east of Cody, Wyoming, and is only a two hour drive from the east entrance to Yellowstone National Park. We invite you to browse through this site to learn more about: - Combining “Lifelong Learning” with an authentic “Real West Vacation” - Why paleontologists call Shell Valley the “Real Jurassic Playground” - The multi-layered geology and natural resources of Wyoming’s Bighorn Basin A vacation in the Bighorn Basin that includes one or more of our workshops would allow you to pursue “Lifelong Learning” while enjoying the area’s natural resources.
