[iris-bulk] EarthScope Workshop announcement

[Michael Hamburger]

Dear Colleague:

We invite you to take part in a special education and outreach session 
at the upcoming EarthScope National Workshop 
(http://www.iris.edu/earthscopenationalmeeting/index.php) entitled 
“Bringing EarthScope Research into the Undergraduate Classroom”.  The 
session will focus on the use of EarthScope-related data and results in 
the undergraduate science classroom. The session features a plenary 
presentation by Barbara Tewksbury, (William Kenan Professor of 
Geosciences, Hamilton College) entitled “From Data to Insight: 
Developing Effective Undergraduate Activities Using Earthscope Data". 
The plenary lecture will be followed by a focused poster session that 
will allow participants to share their experiences--ranging from 
tried-and-true exercises to fresh, untested new ideas--on the use of 
state-of-the-art geophysical data in the classroom. We invite all 
participants to contribute a poster focused on educational applications 
of EarthScope science, and to bring along a lab exercise, homework 
problem, or new idea for using EarthScope data in the classroom. 
Computer-based and internet exercises are particularly welcome.  Note 
that these E&O abstracts/poster submissions may be submitted in addition 
to research-oriented presentations.  Details on the session are 
available at
http://www.iris.edu/earthscopenationalmeeting/plenary.php#5.  Note the 
upcoming registration deadline of February 15.  Contact Susan Eriksson 
at 303-381-7466 for additional information.
