FACULTY KNOWLEDGE STUDIO
Mathematics, Physics & Earth Sciences Knowledge Studio
Use mathematics to describe patterns and physics to relate quantities, forces and systems. Earth-system study adds scale, measurement and uncertainty to observations of a changing planet.

Questions to investigate
What does a model omit?
Define the terms, find a traceable source, state context and method, compare another perspective, and note what the evidence cannot show.
How do units expose an incorrect comparison?
Define the terms, find a traceable source, state context and method, compare another perspective, and note what the evidence cannot show.
How does uncertainty propagate through a calculation?
Define the terms, find a traceable source, state context and method, compare another perspective, and note what the evidence cannot show.
How should mathematical modeling be defined for a specific question?
Define the terms, find a traceable source, state context and method, compare another perspective, and note what the evidence cannot show.
Which evidence could challenge an initial explanation of uncertainty?
Define the terms, find a traceable source, state context and method, compare another perspective, and note what the evidence cannot show.
How do context and scale change an interpretation of Earth observation?
Define the terms, find a traceable source, state context and method, compare another perspective, and note what the evidence cannot show.
What ethical or practical limit matters when studying mathematical modeling?
Define the terms, find a traceable source, state context and method, compare another perspective, and note what the evidence cannot show.
Which comparison would be fair when examining uncertainty?
Define the terms, find a traceable source, state context and method, compare another perspective, and note what the evidence cannot show.
How could uncertainty be communicated in a study of Earth observation?
Define the terms, find a traceable source, state context and method, compare another perspective, and note what the evidence cannot show.
What further evidence would change a decision related to mathematical modeling?
Define the terms, find a traceable source, state context and method, compare another perspective, and note what the evidence cannot show.
