The Food-Energy-Water Nexus: Hydroviz Supports Undergraduate Learning of Socio-Hydrologic Issues.
Convened January 30th, 2023
This two-hour workshop aims to introduce undergraduate instructors to a course module and associated resources developed to engage undergraduate students in visualization of data grounded in the Food-Energy-Water-Nexus (FEW-Nexus). Using an online water systems visualization tool – Hydroviz – students engage in structured decision-making around a contemporary FEW-Nexus challenge with both natural and human dimensions. The workshop will involve an introduction to the course module and Hydroviz, participation in a subset of module learning activities, and adaptation of the module to fit within a course that participants already teach at their own institutions. Participants will complete a brief survey before and after the workshop to contribute to workshop evaluation. Participants will need access to a computer during the workshop.
