CAREER: Integrating Multidisciplinary Geophysical Studies Via the EarthScope Initiative

来自CAREER奖的fouchfunds被用于开发一个与EarthScope项目直接相关的综合研究和教育项目，通过一系列新的创新研究项目，结合使用来自板块边界天文台和USArray的数据进行分析。这些分析工作的结果正在通过正演和反演建模方法进行整合，这将使人们能够发现地球表面与地下地壳和地幔变形之间的联系。作为这项工作的一部分开发的协同课程模块将与研究工作结合起来，以先进的科学水平将EarthScope直接带入大学课堂。PI Fouch设计这些模块是为了利用EarthScope作为一个长期的“教学时刻”，让学生接触到活跃的地球科学研究过程。综合研究和教学成果的模块将可用于入门和高级地球科学课程，从而提供真实的，基于探索的体验，不仅将支持亚利桑那州立大学新地球与空间探索学院的愿景，而且将提供给更广泛的学术界。

0548288FouchFunds from CAREER award are being used to develop an integrated research and education program linked directly with the EarthScope Project through a range of new, innovative research projects that combine analyses using data from the Plate Boundary Observatory and USArray. The results of these analysis efforts are being integrated via both forward and inverse modeling approaches that will enable new discoveries of the links between deformation of Earth's surface and subsurface crust and mantle. The synergistic course modules developed as part of this work will be coalesced with the research effort to bring EarthScope directly into the university classroom at an advanced scientific level. PI Fouch is designing these modules to utilize EarthScope as a long-term "teachable moment" used to expose students to the process of active Earth science research. Modules from the integrated research and teaching efforts will be available for use in both introductory and advanced Earth sciences courses, thereby providing real-world, exploration-based experiences that not only will support the vision of Arizona State University's new School of Earth and Space Exploration but also will be available to the broader academic community.
