Sea Floor Science

海洋研究所将设计、开发、评估和安装占地5200平方英尺的“海底科学”。该展览是与斯克里普斯海洋学研究所、喷气推进实验室和德克萨斯农工大学航海考古研究所合作设计的。“海底科学”将为家庭、学生和公众提供机会，让他们使用真实的海洋设备、工具和技术，重现海洋研究和发现的世界。游客将体验海洋学家如何探索大部分未知的海底，以便更好地了解沉积物和岩石的起源，通过海洋微化石证明的古气候重建，以及海洋岩石圈和边缘的动力学。这个项目是博物馆展览的一种新方法。它将测试创新的可转换解决方案，使公共区域既可以作为教学站又可以作为有效的展品。它还将实施具有成本效益的更新策略，使游客保持在科学研究的最前沿。“海底科学”将覆盖22个州的4,000,000人，包括现场和在线访客，多州教师网络，视频会议参与者，科学专业人员以及全国科学中心和水族馆的复制站点。

The Ocean Institute will design, develop, evaluate and install "Sea Floor Science," a 5,200 sq. ft. site-wide exhibition designed in partnership with Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and the Institute of Nautical Archaeology at Texas A&M University. "Sea Floor Science" will provide opportunities for families, students and the general public to use authentic oceanographic equipment, tools and technology to recreate a world of ocean research and discovery. Visitors will experience how oceanographers are exploring the largely unknown sea floor to permit better understanding of the origin of sediments and rocks, paleoclimate reconstruction as evidenced by marine microfossils, and the dynamics of oceanic lithospheres and margins. The project is a new approach to museum exhibits. It will test innovative convertibility solutions that enable public areas to serve as both teaching stations and effective exhibits. It will also implement cost-effective update strategies to keep visitors at the forefront of scientific research. "Sea Floor Science" will reach 4,000,000 people in 22 states including on-site and on-line visitors, multi-state teacher networks, videoconferencing participants, science professionals, and replication sites at science centers and aquaria nationally.
