SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on the development of an online interactive map resource called Physics Globe, which allows users to add physics-related information to specific global locations. Participants emphasize the importance of including universities in the mapping project, as most physics research occurs within academic institutions. The California Institute of Technology (Caltech) is highlighted as a key contributor, with users sharing links to its physics department homepage and discussing how to find contact details. The community actively collaborates to enhance the resource by adding significant locations and providing guidance on locating university information.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of interactive mapping tools like Physics Globe
  • Familiarity with academic research in physics
  • Knowledge of university structures and departments
  • Basic web navigation skills, including using search engines
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the integration of university data into interactive mapping platforms
  • Explore best practices for crowdsourcing information in educational resources
  • Learn about the physics programs offered at major universities, focusing on their research contributions
  • Investigate user engagement strategies for online educational tools
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for educators, developers of educational resources, and researchers in physics who are interested in collaborative mapping projects and enhancing public access to academic information.

I am working on creating an online interactive map resource allowing everyone to add information related to physics to any location on the globe.

If anyone could provide address / Google map link for places which are related to field of physics that will be a great help for me

Thanks in Advance

Most physics research happens at universities. Your map will be ignoring the biggest chunk of physics research unless you include an option for universities.

Thank you for your valuable opinion, we added university category to Physics Globe.

Thanks
 
Caltech

Does anyone know the mailing address/contact details for department of physics at
Caltech - California Institute of Technology

And also where can I find a short description about their physics program,
Thanks
 
Here's the homepage of the Physics department at Caltech. You should be able to find the details that you want on here: http://www.pma.caltech.edu/GSR/physics.html

You're welcome. It's very easy to "guess" the websites of universities, and then follow the links from the main page!

Google is a pretty fascinating feature of the internet as well. I am a bit worried about this program you are setting up if you have a hard time finding the Caltech website! (just kidding)

Google took me about 20 seconds from the time I opened my browser, typed www.google.com and searched for Caltech Physics Department.

Just giving some advice to help expedite the process so you guys don't have to wait around looking for universities.

I found the site easily but couldn’t find any where they have listed their mailing address, finally I found it on one page at the footer image.

Did you found physics department mailing address?

the best option for finding an email address for any department is to find the department heads email address (listed under the contact page usually) and email him with your request.
