Planning Grant to Bring Cutting Edge Scientific Ocean Drilling Research on Past Climate Change into Minority-Serving Institution Geoscience Classrooms

海洋领导联盟(COL)、美国气象学会(AMS)、詹姆斯·麦迪逊大学(JMU)和洛杉矶山谷学院(LAVC)之间的这一合作正在举办一个为期四天的规划研讨会，通过利用综合海洋钻探计划(IODP)获得的古气候数据，探索扩大对地球科学(特别是气候科学)的参与的新方法。研讨会将有来自少数群体服务机构(MSI)的25名教职员工、教育和评估专业人员以及主题专家参加。讲习班的最终目标是规划更多的方案，使用实践方法教育微星研究所的教职员工关于基于海洋钻探的古气候研究，并指导将这项研究大规模纳入此类机构使用的课程。该项目旨在整合通过科尔深部地球学院岩石学院计划、JMU建筑核心知识课程以及在实施其气候科学专业发展课程期间开发的MSI教员网络而制定的有效教育战略。

This collaboration between the Consortium for Ocean Leadership (COL), the American Meteorological Society (AMS), James Madison University (JMU), and Los Angeles Valley College (LAVC) is convening a four-day planning workshop to explore novel approaches to broadening participation in the geosciences (and climate science in particular), through leveraging of paleoclimate data obtained by the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP). The workshop will engage 25 faculty from minority-serving institutions (MSIs), education and assessment professionals, and subject matter experts. The ultimate goal of the workshop is to plan additional programs that use hands-on approaches to educate MSI faculty about ocean drilling-based paleoclimate research and guide integration of this research into curricula used at such institutions at a large scale. The project seeks to integrate effective educational strategies developed through the COL Deep Earth Academy School of Rock program, the JMU Building Core Knowledge curriculum, and MSI faculty networks developed by the AMS during implementation of their professional development course on climate science.
