The Science Behind Climate Change: A Journey to Reedy Glacier,

这一面向公众的传播研究项目侧重于布伦达霍尔的芦苇冰川南极研究(业务计划0229034)及其与缅因州居民和游客的相关性。合作者包括缅因州大学、缅因州发现博物馆、阿卡迪亚国家公园和凯迪拉克山地运动(一家环保零售公司，在全州有几家门店)。主要成果是开发一个交互式软件程序，以两层概念方法提供信息和经验--关于芦苇冰川及其与缅因州的联系和关于科学进程的信息。该软件正在三个伙伴组织的信息亭中配置成DVD格式，用于非正式和正式环境，按成本价分发，并放到目前正在单独开发的缅因州大学气候变化门户网站上。项目网站将提供门户设计的源代码，以便其他人可以使用它来创建自己的门户和模块。缅因州发现博物馆打算利用这项提议之外的资源，在这个主题上创造更多的展览，阿卡迪亚国家公园将在教师教育研讨会上使用这些项目。

This Communicating Research to Public Audiences project focuses on the Reedy Glacier Antarctic research of Brenda Hall (OPP 0229034) and its relevance to the residents of and visitors to Maine. Collaborators include the University of Maine, the Maine Discovery Museum, the Acadia National Park and Cadillac Mountain Sports (an environmentally active retail company with several stores around the state). The primary deliverable is the development of an interactive software program that presents information and experiences in a two-tiered concept approach -- on the Reedy Glacier and its connection to Maine and on the process of science. The software is being configured into kiosks at the three partnering organizations, into a DVD format for informal and formal settings to be distributed at cost and onto a University of Maine Climate Change web portal currently under separate development. The project web site will provide source code for the portal design so others may use it to create portals and modules of their own. The Maine Discovery Museum intends to create additional exhibitry on the topic with resources outside this proposal, and the Acadia National Park will use the programs in teacher education workshops.
