Collaborative Research: A synthesis of EarthScope educational resources integrated into the "Alaska Native Geoscience Learning Experience"

阿拉斯加经历的地震和火山活动比美国其他任何一个州都要多，而且许多阿拉斯加社区异常偏远，在自然灾害期间可能会与外界隔绝。EarthScope阿拉斯加本地地球科学学习体验项目（EarthScope ANGLE）旨在通过教育和建立一个以行动为导向的全州学习社区，将正式和非正式的教育工作者、应急管理人员、科学家、学生、社区长老和农村的其他组织联系起来，提高阿拉斯加对地质灾害的抵御能力。2004年12月26日苏门答腊岛、2010年2月27日智利和2011年3月11日日本发生的大地震和海啸使公众更加关注我们自己国家发生的类似地质灾害。作为研究地震和地壳的全国性努力的一部分，美国国家科学基金会EarthScope项目已经在美国各地部署了数百台地震、GPS和其他地球物理仪器。最近在阿拉斯加部署的这些仪器为正在进行的研究提供了细节，这些研究表明，沿海地区正在储存能量，这些能量将在大地震中释放出来，由此产生的海啸可能会影响整个美国西海岸和夏威夷。成千上万的阿拉斯加居民生活在严重的地震和海啸淹没区，每年有数百万游客参观这些地区的州立和联邦公园。K-12学校系统的教师向学生传授一些关于地质灾害的基本知识，公园护林员和博物馆教育工作者也同样吸引游客到他们的景点参观。这两个组织有时也与应急管理人员合作。angel正在加强这些努力，提供以社区为基础的讲习班，使所有这些专业人员聚集在一起，审查地震和海啸的基础科学，了解EarthScope和监测该区域动态地球的其他研究工作，并制定办法，使学生和公众共同参与减轻沿海地质灾害。ANGLE项目是阿拉斯加太平洋大学和中央华盛顿大学的地球科学教育工作者与阿拉斯加安克雷奇大学的阿拉斯加本土科学与工程项目（ANSEP）的合作成果。从2017年到2020年，将为阿拉斯加本土学生举办四次教育者专业发展研讨会和八所ANSEP学院。通过这些研讨会和学院，ANGLE建立了一个全州范围的利益相关者网络，其中包括来自阿拉斯加一些最脆弱社区的阿拉斯加土著农村的学生、教师和土著长老。强调教育工作者和本土学生将确保广泛的学习者将被接触到，无论是直接接触还是稍后与ANGLE参与者接触。综合现有的EarthScope教育材料和方法，翻译成阿拉斯加的环境，将构成节目的核心。借鉴以往EarthScope教育项目的方法，ANGLE将纳入最佳实践，包括科学的社会相关性、数据收集和分析、科学的性质、学习社区发展、当前的科学标准以及基于地点和文化的知识。参与的教育工作者将了解正在进行的关于阿拉斯加构造、地震和海啸的研究，以及“地球视野”如何在该地区的地质灾害知识方面取得进展。应急管理外联领导人将促进关于应急准备行动的讨论。大师教师提供关于评估和互动的教学指导和想法，而经验丰富的口译员则讨论如何在课堂外的环境中接触各种受众。在随后的马拉松分享中，教师和口译员展示了他们如何将自己的新知识转化为地球科学和应急准备的学习经验，为K-12学生和公园和博物馆的游客提供帮助。最终将有成千上万的学习者在不同的环境中学习。angle合成的EarthScope资源的最终集合将被托管在著名的科学教育资源中心网站上（每年500万访问者），并由国家地球科学教师协会审查，以确保未来几年对资源的高知名度访问。

Alaska experiences more earthquake and volcanic activity than any other US state, and many Alaskan communities are unusually remote and will potentially be isolated from support during a natural disaster. The EarthScope Alaska Native Geoscience Learning Experience (EarthScope ANGLE) aims to increase Alaskan resilience to geohazards through education and building of an action oriented statewide learning community that connects formal and informal educators, emergency management personnel, scientists, students, community elders and other organizations in rural villages. The great earthquakes and tsunamis that devastated Sumatra on December 26, 2004, Chile on February 27, 2010 and Japan on March 11, 2011 have heightened public concern about similar geologic hazards in our own country. As part of a nationwide effort to study earthquakes and the Earth's crust, the NSF EarthScope Program has been deploying hundreds of seismic, GPS, and other geophysical instruments across the United States. Recently deployed in Alaska, these instruments provide detail for ongoing research showing that coastal regions are storing energy that will be released in great earthquakes, with resulting tsunamis that may impact the entire west coast of the US and Hawaii. Thousands of Alaskan residents live within severe earthquake-shaking and tsunami-inundation zones, and millions of tourists visit state and federal parks in these same areas each year. Teachers in the K-12 school systems convey some basics about geological hazards to their students, and park rangers and museum educators likewise engage visitors at their sites. Both of these groups also at times work with emergency managers. ANGLE is strengthening these efforts by providing community-based workshops that bring together all of these professionals to review the basic science of earthquakes and tsunamis, learn about EarthScope and other research efforts that monitor the dynamic Earth in the region, and develop ways to collectively engage students and the general public on the mitigation of coastal geologic hazards.The ANGLE project is a collaborative effort among geoscience educators from Alaska Pacific University and Central Washington University with the Alaska Native Science and Engineering Program (ANSEP) at the University of Alaska Anchorage. From 2017-2020, four Educator Professional Development workshops and eight ANSEP academies for Alaska Native students will be conducted. Through these workshops and academies, ANGLE establishes a statewide network of stakeholders that includes students, teachers and Native Elders from rural Alaska Native villages, some of Alaska's most vulnerable communities. The emphasis on educators and Native students will ensure that a wide variety of learners will be reached, either directly or by later contact with ANGLE participants. A synthesis of existing EarthScope educational materials and methods, translated to an Alaskan setting, will form the core of the programming. Drawing from methods of previous EarthScope education projects, ANGLE will incorporate best practices including societal relevance of science, data collection and analysis, nature of science, learning community development, current science standards, and place-based and cultural knowledge. Participating educators will learn about ongoing research on Alaskan tectonics, earthquakes and tsunamis, and about how EarthScope is advancing frontiers of knowledge about geologic hazards in the region. Emergency management outreach leaders will contribute to discussions on emergency preparedness actions. Master teachers offer pedagogical guidance and ideas about assessment and interaction, while experienced interpreters discuss how to reach a variety of audiences in settings outside the classroom. In follow-up share-a-thons, the teachers and interpreters showcase how they have crafted their new knowledge into Earth science and emergency preparedness learning experiences for K-12 students and visitors to parks and museums. Ultimately thousands of learners in various settings will be reached. The final ANGLE-synthesized collection of EarthScope resources will be hosted on the well-known Science Education Resource Center website (5 million visitors/year) and reviewed by the National Association of Geoscience Teachers insuring high profile access to the resources for years to come.
