CUR co-sponsored session at the AGU Fall Meeting

I want to bring your attention to the following CUR co-sponsored session at AGU Fall Meeting in San Fransisco, CA, Dec 10-14:

ED14: Transforming Research Science to Create Inquiry-Based Undergraduate Classroom Experiences: Examples from the NSF-MARGINS Program and Other Initiatives

This session will highlight efforts being made to transform undergraduate education through the repurposing of the datasets and scientific results of major research initiatives for use in classroom settings. Presentations will highlight efforts that take advantage of the fruits of major Federally-funded research initiatives, including but not limited to the NSF-MARGINS Program, Ridge 2000 and IODP, to invigorate coursework and classroom activities and facilitate focused research and research-like experiences for undergraduate students. This session is co-sponsored by NSF-MARGINS and Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR).

Conveners:
Don Reed, San Jose State Univ. (dreed@sjsu.edu)
Cathy Manduca, Carleton College (cmanduca@carleton.edu)
Jeff Ryan, University of South Florida (ryan@shell.cas.usf.edu)

Please consider submitting an abstract to this special session. AGU permits the submission of one first-authored abstract to BOTH an Education (ED) and scientific session at this meeting.
