Earth Systems Science (40)This project is integrating scientific research with education in geoscience courses that serve general education students, pre-service teachers, and early geoscience majors. A collaborative of research specialists and education specialists from institutions ranging from R1 research to public liberal arts to a community college are part of this project, developing and classroom-testing learning materials from an archive underutilized by educators, deep-sea sediment cores from the world's oceans recovered by the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program and the Antarctic Drilling Program. The learning materials are based on authentic scientific data. Fundamental investigative practices and geoscience content on age, chronology, and Earth's climate history are being made accessible to college educators. Exercises on current advances and challenges to our understanding of global climate change history and the rapid response of the high latitudes to global warming, as well as the processes and excitement of scientific investigation and discovery are being developed for use in introductory earth science, oceanography, and historical geology courses. Scientific observational, analytical, and critical thinking skills are being infused in the exercises. The learning materials are being designed so that students can walk away ready to engage in societal conversations and discussions that center on past climate change and the scientific basis for interpreting Earth history. The learning materials are being disseminated through the JOILearning.org website, with links from SERC, and European- and Japanese-IODP websites. Presentations at conferences, journal manuscripts, and the facilitation of a teacher workshop at AGU are promoting the project outcome learning materials not only to college-level geoscience educators, but also to scientists, and high school and informal educators.

地球系统科学（40）本项目将科学研究与地球科学课程的教育相结合，为普通教育学生，职前教师和早期地球科学专业提供服务。从R1研究到公共文科再到社区学院的研究专家和教育专家的合作是该项目的一部分，他们从教育工作者未充分利用的档案中开发和课堂测试学习材料，从综合海洋钻探计划和南极钻探计划回收的世界海洋深海沉积物岩心中提取。学习材料是基于真实的科学数据。基本的调查实践和地球科学内容的年龄，年表和地球的气候历史正在访问大学教育工作者。目前的进展和挑战，我们对全球气候变化历史的理解和高纬度地区对全球变暖的快速反应，以及科学调查和发现的过程和兴奋正在开发的练习，用于介绍地球科学，海洋学和历史地质学课程。科学观察，分析和批判性思维技能正在注入演习。正在设计的学习材料，使学生可以走开准备参与社会对话和讨论，对过去的气候变化和解释地球历史的科学基础为中心。这些学习材料正在通过JOILearning.org网站传播，该网站与环境资源中心以及欧洲和日本的海洋学发展方案网站有链接。在会议上的演讲，期刊手稿，并在AGU促进教师研讨会的项目成果学习材料，不仅大学水平的地球科学教育工作者，而且科学家，高中和非正式教育工作者。
