Collaborative Research: Bringing NSF MARGINS/GeoPRISMS Continental Margins Research into the Undergraduate Curriculum

这个合作项目将NSF资助的MARGINS计划的高优先级科学成果和数据带入本科地球科学课程，该计划是对大陆边缘过程和演变的跨学科研究。 该项目小组由大陆边缘研究和地球科学教育专家组成，正在与一个用户社区合作，为高年级课程创建、评估和传播一套连贯的模块式微型课程和课程部分，让学生了解大陆岩石圈破裂、俯冲过程、地震成因、该项目的智力价值在于通过将高质量的MARGINS科学转化为本科课堂的教育资源，将研究和教育结合起来。该项目的更广泛的影响在于多机构努力传播MARGINS科学，为科学家提供了一个强大的手段来增加他们自己的研究的影响，同时创建便携式课程资源，以教育和吸引地球科学学生跨越一系列课程和机构类型。

This collaborative project is bringing high-priority science results and data from the NSF-funded MARGINS program, an interdisciplinary study of the processes and evolution of continental margins, into undergraduate geoscience courses. The project team, comprising experts in continental-margin research and geoscience education, is working with a user community to create, assess and disseminate a coherent set of modular mini-lessons and course segments for upper-division courses that engage students with cutting-edge findings on rupturing continental lithosphere, subduction processes, seismogenesis, and sediment dispersal from sources to sinks.The Intellectual Merit of this project lies in the integration of research and education by transforming high-quality MARGINS science into educational resources for undergraduate classrooms. The Broader Impacts of this project lie in the multi-institutional effort to disseminate MARGINS science, offering scientists a powerful means of increasing the impact of their own research, while creating portable curricular resources to educate and engage geoscience students across a range of courses and institutional types.
