GEODE
Google Earth for Onsite and Distance Education (GEODE) focuses on enhancements to virtual globes such as Google Earth that allow for plate tectonic reconstructions, embedded virtual specimens and outcrops, interactive imagery, "grand tours" of the Earth (and other planets and moons), and learning modules using large geoscience datasets. SERC supported the project in transitioning this website from its original location to a permanent home with SERC.

C-ChanGe
The Cultural Change in Geoscience (C-ChanGe) project works toward a vision of the future where all people at each stage of their career experience academic geoscience as a safe and welcoming environment where they feel empowered to learn and contribute without stifling their identities, and the community recognizes contributions from everyone. SERC leads the professional development of 2 cohorts of faculty change agents empowered to work in their own context to make successive, incremental changes, leading to positive cultural shifts within their home departments with the support of a community of practice made up of local and national peers. The project also raises the visibility of the many other groups working towards an inclusive geoscience discipline through a web-based network to support awareness, recognition, and connectivity of national partner projects working on geoscience cultural change.

A Civil Action - The Woburn Toxic Trial
This project developed web-based curricular materials investigating the events in Woburn, MA that inspired the movie A Civil Action. Developed from a popular mock-trial course at Ohio State University, the site consists of a series of educational modules that students work through culminating in a mock trial. SERC designed the overall structure of the website and supported the leaders in transitioning a locally taught course into a model and resource for others.

IEDA2
Events and teaching resources for geoscience educators to support the use of the IEDA data infrastructure that includes three complementary data systems -- EarthChem, LEPR, SESAR -- for research in the geosciences. SERC is working with project leaders to design and facilitate events and web hosting teaching resources.

Using Data in the Classroom
This site provides information and discussion for educators and resource developers interested in effective teaching methods and pedagogical approaches for using data in the classroom. SERC developed this site drawing from a series of workshops and sessions in 2002 and 2003.

Megalopolitan Coastal Transformation Hub
SERC serves as the external evaluator for the MACH project. The "wicked problem" that climate change poses to coastal communities requires many great minds working alongside local residents, officials, and professionals to better understand the options available to decrease their risk. To assist with these types of complex decisions, Rutgers University and 12 other institutions created the Megalopolitan Coastal Transformation Hub, or MACH (pronounced 'mock'). MACH is a part of a network of research hubs, located around the country, funded through the National Science Foundation's Coastlines and People (CoPe) program. MACH's mission is to support decision making to manage climate-change-related risks through research focused at the intersection of natural and human systems. These collaborations are rooted in core principles regarding equitable community participation in and co-production of climate solutions. (Adapted from coastalhub.org)

IODP School of Rock 2020
The Scientific Ocean Drilling IMPACT workshop series, held in 2020-2022, strived to chart the future course of science communication and outreach for scientific ocean drilling, in direct support of the 2050 Framework for Scientific Ocean Drilling and its call to "communicate far-reaching scientific ocean drilling knowledge to the broader community." SERC provided support in hosting the project website, including providing virtual workshop support, web infrastructure for a 2022 in-person workshop, and as a mechanism for disseminating project products.

Research on Learning
This site aggregates resources collected and developed for and in response to a 2002 workshop: Bringing Research on Learning to the Geosciences. The website seeks to further the conversations that were begun at the workshop regarding areas where learning scientists and geoscientists have complementary interests and expertise. SERC hosts the workshop materials and those from a range of related events and activities.

TREX - Tree Ring Expeditions
TREX provides a series of undergraduate labs that engage students in exploring tree ring science through virtual fields trips and using data from online data. SERC helped develop the structure for this website as well as implementing online data exploration tools used within the labs.

InTeGrate
InTeGrate is a STEM-Talent Expansion Program facilitating a large, diverse community of practice in learning about teaching and collaborating for a sustainable future. As the project leadership and hub, SERC organizes and leads participants in materials development, implementation programs, workshops, webinars and project leadership in support of the community of practice needs and goals.
