Beyond The Edge of the Sea: Diversity of Life in the Ocean Wilderness

这个面向公众的传播研究提案是基于Cindy Van Dover的nsf资助的研究，OCE 0350554，太平洋热液喷口贻贝床的生物地理学和群落结构。主要成果是一个巡回科学和艺术展览，重点是PI对深海热液喷口和生活在这些环境中的生物的研究。在其中几次探险中，PI是由自然水彩画家/科学插画家凯伦·雅各布森陪同的。雅各布森的作品，以及雕塑家查克·佩尔（Chuck Pell）的管虫动画雕塑，以及潜水文物的展示将构成展览的主体，该展览将在海洋和艺术博物馆巡回展出。主要合作伙伴是北卡罗来纳海事博物馆和威廉玛丽学院的Muscarelle博物馆。Muscarelle将负责这次旅行。额外的学习产品将包括一份展览目录，里面有Van Dover和其他人的文章，一份博物学家的展览指南，儿童教育材料，视频播客，讲解员培训材料和网站内容

This Communicating Research to Public Audiences proposal is based on Cindy Van Dover's NSF-funded research, OCE 0350554, Biogeography and community structure in mussel beds at Pacific hydrothermal vents. The primary deliverable is a traveling science and art exhibit that focuses on the PI's deep sea research of hydrothermal vents and the organisms living in those environments. On several of these expeditions, the PI was accompanied by nature watercolorist/scientific illustrator, Karen Jacobsen. Jacobsen's work, along with animated sculptures of tubeworms by sculptor, Chuck Pell, and displays of dive artifacts will form the body of the exhibition, which will travel to both marine and art museums. Major partners are the North Carolina Maritime Museum and the Muscarelle Museum of the College of William & Mary. Muscarelle will manage the tour. Additional learning products will include an exhibition catalog with essays by Van Dover and others, a naturalist's guide to the exhibition, educational materials for children, video podcasts, docent training materials, and website content
