CAREER: Career Development in the Environmental Geochemistry of Dissolution-Growth and Electron Transfer at the Iron Oxide/Fluid Interface

9875830 Eggleston该项目的教育部分集中在更新和振兴一套专门为小学教育专业设计的自然科学课程。 这些课程的内容比普通的科学入门课程更广泛，是密集的“动手”，并限制在每节40名学生。 PI将更新现有的课程，并开发两个与环境地球科学有关的新课程。 该项目的研究部分集中在吸附，溶解-生长和电子转移过程密切相关，需要对它们有更好的基本了解，以便更全面地了解Fe作为全球（和环境）重要的电子转移介质的许多作用。

9875830EgglestonThe educational portion of this project concentrates on updating and revitalizing a set of natural science courses specifically designed for elementary education majors. These courses have broader content than normal introductory science courses, are intensively "hand-on", and are limited to 40 students per section. The PI will update an existing course, and develop two new courses relating to environmental Earth Science. The research portion of the project is centered on adsorption, dissolution-growth, and electron transfer processes are closely linked, and a better fundamental understanding of them is needed in order to more fully understand the many roles of Fe as a globally (and environmentally) important electron transfer mediator.
