Communicating Climate Change (C3)

科学技术中心协会（ASTC）与耶鲁大学气候变化项目和康奈尔大学鸟类学实验室合作，正在开展一项为期三年的项目，其目标是建设12个科学中心和12个nsf资助的长期生态研究中心（LTER）的能力，以使公众参与气候变化科学。这12个地点横跨美国东海岸到夏威夷。这些同时进行的项目的目标是说明全球变化的地方指标。其他合作伙伴包括科学中心公司（电视媒体制作人）、大学大气研究公司、美国地球物理联合会、美国国家海洋和大气管理局、《自然历史》杂志和一个国家顾问委员会。可交付成果包括：(1)12个地方示范项目，包括启动计划、展览/节目、电视广告、公民科学活动和展示12个站点工作的互动地图；(2)非正式STEM教育专业人员和LTER研究人员的专业发展；(3)评估美国人口的全国调查？(4) ISE领域的最终研讨会、永久资源数据库和最终出版物。评估过程由David Heil &amp； Associates进行。

DRL- 0813135Communicating Climate ChangePI: Walter StavelozABSTRACTThe Association of Science-Technology Centers (ASTC), in collaboration with the Yale Project on Climate Change and the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology, is conducting a three-year project whose goal is to build the capacity of twelve science centers as well as of twelve NSF-funded Long-term Ecological Research Centers (LTER) for the purpose of engaging the public in climate change science. The twelve sites span the USA from the east coast to Hawaii. The goal of these simultaneous projects is to illustrate local indicators of global change. Additional partners include ScienCentral, Inc. (TV media producers), the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, the American Geophysical Union, NOAA, Natural History magazine, and a national board of advisors. Deliverables include: (1) twelve local demonstration projects with launch programs, exhibits/programs, TV spots, citizen science activities, and an interactive map illustrating the work of the twelve sites, (2) professional development for informal STEM education professionals and LTER research faculty, (3) a national survey to assess the USA population?s climate literacy, and (4) a culminating workshop for the ISE field, a permanent resource database, and a final publication. Evaluation processes are being conducted by David Heil & Associates.
