Earth Science Education

Our engagement and education initiatives aim to inform the public, inspire actions, and build a local and regional base of highly educated Earth and environmental scientists. Our projects vary in depth, scope, and focus, to support the work of the Observatory's scientists and deepen relationships with local and regional partners.

We work with the media, museums, local communities, regional NGOs, and other groups to communicate our science and co-create engagement activities. Our range of products and activities includes online educational resources such as graphics, videos, blog posts, FAQs, podcasts, and other learning opportunities such as exhibitions and games.

The Community Engagement Office connects with a broad audience on geohazards and climate change to promote a safer and more sustainable future.

Community Projects

Our outreach and education initiatives aim to connect with a broader audience, developing deeper relationships with both scientific and non-scientific communities worldwide as we build public awareness of geohazards research.

Earth Science FAQs

We’ve collected dozens of Frequently Asked Questions on everything from Earthquakes, Volcanoes, and Tsunamis, to Climate Change and Continental Drift. Scan through the answers to these fascinating questions—all provided by our own Observatory scientists—and get a peek into some of the ways the world works.

Multimedia

Resources include animated GIFs for sea level topics, tectonic illustrations, videos, software and scientific data.

Resources for Schools and Educators

Observatory scientists are keen on engaging the students in current issues such as sea-level rise and climate change, or even sharing their knowledge on the geology of Singapore through talks or assemblies.
