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

该奖项为“REVEL项目”提供资金，REVEL项目是一个扩展和教师专业发展项目，建立在1996年华盛顿大学（UW）启动的一个试点项目的基础上。该项目将包括来自不同州的12名K-12教师，他们将参与一系列与奋进号和胡安·德·富卡板块系统的热液喷口系统研究相关的活动。教师们将乘坐“汤普森”号或“亚特兰蒂斯”号邮轮，亲身体验海洋研究工作。他们将与潜水器ALVIN或名为ABE的自主水下航行器一起工作。此外，他们还将参加巡游前和巡游后的讲习班，以确保他们在海上获得的经验可以转化为学生和其他教室。该项目的总体目标是鼓励研究小组和科学教育者之间的合作和伙伴关系。大学每年为船舶时间提供大量配套资金。该项目将由海洋科学司和初等、中等和非正规教育司共同资助。

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.
