REVEL 2002-2005 (Research and Education - Volcanoes, Exploration and Life)

该奖项为“REVEL项目”提供资金，该项目是一项推广和教师专业发展计划，建立在1996年华盛顿大学（UW）发起的试点计划基础上。该方案将包括来自各州的12名K-12教师，他们参加了一系列与正在进行的奋进和胡安·德富卡板块系统热液喷口系统研究有关的活动。 这些教师将参加R/V汤普森或R/V亚特兰蒂斯号的巡航，并将拥有海上海洋学研究工作的第一手经验。他们将与潜水器ALVIN或名为ABE的自主水下航行器合作。此外，他们将参加巡航前和巡航后的研讨会，以确保他们在海上获得的经验可以转化为他们的学生和其他教室。该项目的总体目标是鼓励研究小组和科学教育工作者之间的合作和伙伴关系。大学每年为船舶提供大量配套资金。该计划将由海洋科学司和小学，中学和非正式教育司共同资助。

This award provides funding for the "REVEL Project", an outreach and teacher professional development program that builds on a pilot program initiated at the University of Washington (UW) in 1996. The program will include twelve K-12 teachers from a variety of states in a suite of activities related to ongoing research on hydrothermal vent systems of the Endeavour and Juan de Fuca plate systems. The teachers will participate in cruises aboard the R/V THOMPSON or the R/V ATLANTIS and will have first-hand experience working on sea-going oceanographic research. They will work with the submersible ALVIN or an autonomous underwater vehicle called ABE. In addition, they will participate in pre and post-cruise workshops to ensure that the experiences they gain at sea can be translated to their students and other classrooms. The overall goal of the project is to encourage collaboration and partnerships between research groups and science educators. Significant matching funds have been provided by the University for shiptime each year. The program will be jointly funded by the Division of Ocean Sciences and Division of Elementary, Secondary and Informal Education.
