Landscape Imagery: a catalyst for formal and informal science education

(42)该项目正在开发：(1)地球过程课程的教材；(2)利用学生和图像进行科学研究的演示；(3)利用图像促进学习和研究的网络工具。该项目基于国际和平协会制定的景观变化方案的教育、研究和推广成功，并正在创建用于K-12、本科生、研究生和非正式教育以及研究的可视化教育资源材料。利用图像进行相关规模的教育和研究是跨学科教育的催化剂。该项目正在开发、演示、评估和传播教育材料和思想。这项开发是由学生与PI密切合作完成的，以创建图像分析和检索工具以及基于网络和课堂的教育材料，所有这些都以通过风景图像进行科学研究和学习为中心。暑期班的学生团队正在展示通过定量分析图像可以完成多少科学工作。

(42) The project is developing: (1) educational materials for an earth processes course; (2) a research demonstration of doing science with students and images; and (3) web tools that facilitate both learning and research using images. The project is based upon the education, research and outreach success of the Landscape Change Program developed by the PI and is creating visual educational resource materials that are being used for K-12, undergraduate, graduate and informal education as well as research. The use of images for education and research on the scale involved is serving as a catalyst for interdisciplinary education. The project is developing, demonstrating, evaluating, and disseminating educational materials and ideas. The development is being done by students working in close concert with the PI to create both image analysis and retrieval tools as well as web- and classroom-based educational materials, all centered on doing and learning science with landscape imagery. Teams of students, working summers, are demonstrating just how much science can be done by analyzing images quantitatively.
