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将开展一项涉及阻尼Ly-a（DLA）系统研究的计划。 此外，PI还将对银河系厚盘的化学丰度进行调查，分析银河系中的差分化学损耗，伽马射线爆发余辉的光谱学，以及高红移DLA系统的适度样本的丰度分析。这些项目将使Prochaska博士能够建立一个全面的计划，研究宇宙最初几个Gyr期间的核合成和星系形成。Prochaska博士还将开展一个旨在促进高中探究式学习的科学教育计划。该计划的背景将是天文光谱，它提供了一个整合的研究工具，他和他的同事使用他的教育工作。该计划将有两个主要活动：1）在几个圣克鲁斯高中教室的探究式学习; 2）在UCSC校园举行的探究式学习教师研讨会
