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), 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.

This month, the JOIDES Resolution completed a transit through the Panama Canal and will remain in tie-up until September 16, 2011. During this period, Deep Earth Academy will host a review summit for the last five cohorts of the School of Rock program.

Deep Earth Academy, IODP and the Texas Maritime Museum in Rockport, Texas have partnered to develop and launch “Getting to the Core, the JOIDES Resolution,” a temporary exhibit featuring scientific ocean drilling.

If you have an ocean-themed educational video that is two minutes or less, consider submitting it to the Ocean Today kiosk program. Video proposals are being accepted on climate change, oceans and coasts, seafood/fisheries, ocean stewardship and recreation.

The Joides Resolution, a scientific research ship, is half way across the world sailing the South Pacific. Thousand of miles and an 18-hour time difference, however, it did not stop the scientists on board from visiting with Cape May County’s Cyber Explorers 4-H Club.

The exploits of an ocean research team fascinate a Titirangi family and other Aucklanders, writes Gia Dumo.

As part of the Juan de Fuca Hydrogeology Expedition, a team of six Outreach Officers is working onboard the JOIDES Resolution to develop innovative learning and teaching tools designed to facilitate the communication of scientific drilling results to broad audiences.

Deep Earth Academy (DEA) has spent the month of June preparing for upcoming expeditions onboard the JOIDES Resolution.

The Integrated Ocean Drilling Program’s (IODP) education program, Deep Earth Academy (I-DEA), is celebrating the tremendous success of education and outreach programming during IODP Expedition 318 to Wilkes Land, Antarctica, which ended in early March.
