CAREER: Enriching the Universe -- Investigating Nucleosynthesis and Galaxy Formation in the First Few Billion Years ABSTRACTAST 0548180PI: Jason ProchaskaDr. Jason Prochaska at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) will undertake a program that involves investigations of damped Ly-a (DLA) systems. Additionally the PI will undertake a survey of chemical abundances in the Galactic thick disk, an analysis of the differential chemical depletion in the Milky Way, spectroscopy of gamma-ray burst afterglows, and abundance analyses of a modest sample of high redshift DLA systems. These projects will allow Dr. Prochaska to establish a comprehensive program for studying nucleosynthesis and galaxy formation during the first few Gyr of the universe.Dr. Prochaska will also undertake a science education program designed to promote inquiry-based learning in high schools. The context for the program will be astronomical spectra, which provides for an integration of the research tool he and his colleagues use with his educational efforts. The program will have two main activities: 1) inquiry-based learning in several Santa Cruz high school classrooms; and 2) teacher symposia in inquiry learning held on UCSC campus

职业：丰富宇宙——研究最初几十亿年的核合成和星系形成加州大学圣克鲁斯分校（UCSC）的Jason Prochaska将承担一个涉及阻尼Ly-a （DLA）系统调查的项目。此外，PI还将对银河系厚盘的化学丰度进行调查，分析银河系中不同的化学消耗，对伽马射线爆发余辉进行光谱分析，并对高红移DLA系统的一个适度样本进行丰度分析。这些项目将使普罗查斯卡博士能够建立一个全面的项目，研究宇宙最初几个Gyr期间的核合成和星系形成。普罗查斯卡还将开展一项旨在促进高中探究性学习的科学教育计划。该计划的背景将是天文光谱，这为他和他的同事在他的教育工作中使用的研究工具提供了一个集成。该计划将有两个主要活动：1)在圣克鲁斯高中的几间教室进行探究式学习；2)在UCSC校园举办研究性学习教师座谈会
