In November, Deep Earth Academy, the U.S. education arm of the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP), was awarded a planning grant from NSF entitled, “Bringing Cutting Edge Scientific Ocean Drilling Research on Past Climate Change into Minority-Serving Institution Geoscience Classrooms.”

Deep Earth Academy, the U.S. education arm of the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP), launched a traveling exhibit about the JOIDES Resolution at the North Museum in Lancaster, Pennsylvania this month.

Deep Earth Academy, the U.S. education arm of the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP), has been awarded a $284,217 grant from the National Science Foundation to develop and establish a project entitled “Ship To Shore Science: The R/V JOIDES Resolution As A Platform For Learning.”

[ April 27, 2012 to April 29, 2012. ] Science Spark’s mission is to re-invigorate the interest of our nation’s youth (particularly underserved communities) in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) by producing and presenting the most compelling, exciting, educational and entertaining science festivals in the United States.

School of Rock, the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program’s (IODP) successful educator training expeditions on the JOIDES Resolution, hosted a review summit for the first five cohorts of the program.

Deep Earth Academy partnered with the Center for Dark Energy Biosphere Investigations (C-DEBI) on Expedition AT18-07 from June 26 – July 14, 2011. This three-week venture took place on the research vessel (R/V) Atlantis with the remotely-operated vehicle, Jason.
