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.

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.

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.
