Julia K JohnsonJulia K. Johnson is Teaching Professor-Emeritus in the School of Earth and Space Exploration at Arizona State University, where she taught Introduction to Geology to more than 2,000 students per year in online and in-person classes. Her research invoves structural geology, regional geology, stratigraphy of the Mogollon Escarpment, groundwater studies of copper deposits, and geoscience education. Her geologic map of the Phoenix Mountains is among the most downloaded publications at the Arizona Geological Survey, with over 30,000 downloads and counting. The main focus of her geoscience education research was on student- and instructor-generated sketches (concept sketches) for learning, teaching, and assessment in college geology classes. Julia gives talks and webinars to faculty members across the county about cognition and learning in geoscience courses and how to incorporate active learning to improve student performance. She has developed immersive field trips for sites near ASU and elsewhere in Arizona, including Oak Creek Canyon. Read More Read Less
