Continued Collaboration with Research Team Members
Type of Interaction / Outcomes / Dates / Locations / Parcticipants:
I gave a public lecture at New Mexico Museum of Natural Science in Albequerque in March, 2003. Approximately 100 people were in attendance. I showed a PowerPoint presentation and spoke for an hour and then invited Dr. Philip Kyle and four of his graduate students to help answer questions. Dr. Kyle brought sample lava bombs for the visitors to examine, as well as cystals to hand out. We arranged for a computer to be set up with an internet connection and one of the graduate students walked people through the Mt. Erebus Volcano Observatory website to look at MPEGs of eruptions and seismograms.
How are you sharing your research experience with your colleagues, district, community, etc?
I have given slideshows for the faculty, the students, and the parents at St. John's School. I asked the Houston Museum of Natural Science about giving a public lecture sometime this year. I am also scheduled to do a teacher workshop at the New Mexico Museum of Natural Science on March 12, 2005. Susy Ellison and I are to co-host a full day workshop for area teachers.

Other Classroom Connections:
I bring Antarctica into the classroom in many units during the school year. I do a slideshow presentation on Mt. Erebus and show a BBC video filmed on Erebus ("Expedition to Erebus")during the volcano unit. The students create their own videos about an historical volcanic or seismic event and then show them in class as a group project. I wrap up the unit with my Erebus presentation and video. I also have them work on at topographic map of Erebus during the mapping unit, as well as cover Antarctica in general during the glacial unit in the spring semester. Finally, the students are assigned individual projects where they create a PowerPoint presentation researching a famous explorer and the role that Earth Science played in the expedition. As an example, I cover Shackleton's Endurance expedition , using both documentary videos and my own photos of explorers' huts.
