From tbryant at UDel.Edu Fri Nov 1 15:27:38 2002 From: tbryant at UDel.Edu (Tracey Bryant) Date: Fri, 01 Nov 2002 18:27:38 -0500 Subject: [Biocomplexity] Dive in to "Extreme 2002: Mission to the Abyss"! Message-ID: <3DC30DEA.317AEB2B@udel.edu> Dear Colleagues: I'm writing to invite you to dive in to the University of Delaware's latest on-line expedition, "Extreme 2002: Mission to the Abyss," at http://www.ocean.udel.edu/extreme2002. This past April at the meeting in Washington, DC, Dr. Craig Cary and I presented a poster on how we are working to extend marine research to the public through this educational program targeted at middle and high school students. Several of you provided some good suggestions for the program, which were very helpful. On Oct. 21, Dr. Cary and a team of 23 scientists and graduate students from the U.S. and New Zealand set sail from San Diego on a 24-day expedition to hydrothermal vent sites in the Pacific Ocean about 1,100 miles off Costa Rica. To keep classrooms posted on what is happening out at sea, our shipboard education coordinators (a graduate student from the UD College of Marine Studies and a Delaware middle-school teacher) have been writing journals, taking photos and video clips, running experiments submitted by classrooms, and relaying the info. back to shore on a daily basis for posting on the Web site. The Web site is one component of a multimedia package of classroom resources (curriculum activities, resource guides, evaluations, documentary video) provided to each of our participating schools. More than 500 classrooms across the U.S. and in several foreign countries, representing over 42,000 students, are participating in the program this year. It is funded by the National Science Foundation, with additional support from NOAA Sea Grant, WHYY TV (PBS) in Wilmington/Philadelphia, and the MBNA Foundation. If you would like additional information, please contact me. Thanks for your support!
