This collaborative project is bringing high-priority science results and data from the NSF-funded MARGINS program, an interdisciplinary study of the processes and evolution of continental margins, into undergraduate geoscience courses. The project team, comprising experts in continental-margin research and geoscience education, is working with a user community to create, assess and disseminate a coherent set of modular mini-lessons and course segments for upper-division courses that engage students with cutting-edge findings on rupturing continental lithosphere, subduction processes, seismogenesis, and sediment dispersal from sources to sinks.The Intellectual Merit of this project lies in the integration of research and education by transforming high-quality MARGINS science into educational resources for undergraduate classrooms. The Broader Impacts of this project lie in the multi-institutional effort to disseminate MARGINS science, offering scientists a powerful means of increasing the impact of their own research, while creating portable curricular resources to educate and engage geoscience students across a range of courses and institutional types.

该合作项目将 NSF 资助的 MARGINS 项目（对大陆边缘过程和演化的跨学科研究）的高度优先科学成果和数据引入本科生地球科学课程。 该项目团队由大陆边缘研究和地球科学教育方面的专家组成，正在与用户社区合作，为高年级课程创建、评估和传播一套连贯的模块化迷你课程和课程片段，让学生了解有关大陆岩石圈破裂、俯冲过程、地震发生和沉积物从源头到汇地扩散的前沿发现。该项目的智力优势在于整合 通过将高质量的 MARGINS 科学转化为本科生课堂的教育资源，促进研究和教育的发展。该项目的更广泛影响在于多机构努力传播 MARGINS 科学，为科学家提供增强其研究影响力的强大手段，同时创建便携式课程资源，以教育和吸引地球科学学生参与一系列课程和机构类型。
