Extractions: The Importance of Earth Science Education K-12 Earth Science plays a unique and essential role in today's rapidly changing world. It is an integrated study of the Earth's history, composition and structure, its atmosphere and oceans, and its environment in space. A knowledge of Earth Science is important because most human activities are related to interaction with the planet Earth. Basic knowledge about the Earth, then, is the key to development of an informed citizenry. The reasons for teaching Earth Science are numerous: it offers experience in a diverse range of interrelated scientific disciplines; it is closely related to the students' natural surroundings; and offers students subject matter which has direct application to their lives and the world around them. They need only step outdoors to observe and find relevance in concepts learned in the Earth Science classroom. Because it offers many opportunities to collect data, hypothesize, experiment, and draw conclusions, both within school and outside environments, Earth Science is a laboratory and activity oriented course. Earth Science integrates many principles of both physical and life sciences. It incorporates and presents concepts often not emphasized in other parts of the science curriculum, such as geologic time and the vastness of space.
The Division On Earth And Life Studies Scope includes atmospheric sciences, climate, oceanography, solidearth sciences, radioactive waste management, polar research, environmental science and toxicology, natural disasters, and water science. Commission reports cover scientific/technical aspects of public policy issues in these areas. http://www7.nationalacademies.org/dels/
Extractions: The Division on Earth and Life Studies (DELS) consists of fifteen units that facilitate communication among the research community, policy makers, industry, interest groups, and the public. DELS is responsible for a vast array of topics, ranging from the molecular level (e.g., biotechnology) to the global level (e.g., climate change). The common thread linking the units is the broad topic of science and the environment, but the division also examines issues outside that area. Links to the units are provided below.

THE IOC HARMFUL ALGAL BLOOM PROGRAMME Large scale ocean research programme involving an international community of scientists studying harmful algal blooms (HABs). http://ioc.unesco.org/hab/GEOHAB.htm
Extractions: IOC HAB Programme Introduction A Joint SCOR-IOC Programme of International Co-operative Research on HABs in Marine and Brackish Waters GEOHAB Mission: Foster international co-operative research on HABs in ecosystem types sharing common features, comparing the key species involved and the oceanographic processes that influence their population dynamics. GEOHAB is a Plan for Co-ordinated Scientific Research and Co-operation to Develop International Capabilities for Assessment, Prediction and Mitigation The GEOHAB Strategy The approach of the GEOHAB Programme is comparative, from the cellular to the ecosystem level. GEOHAB fosters research that is interdisciplinary, focusing on the important interactions among biological, chemical, and physical processes. GEOHAB also fosters research that is multifaceted as the problems are complex and interactions and processes occur on a broad range of scales. Finally, GEOHAB research should be international in scope to encompass the global issues of HAB events. WHY IS AN INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMME NEEDED ?
American Society Of Limnology And Oceanography: Welcome Page The purposes of ASLO are to promote the interests of limnology, oceanography and related sciences, to foster the exchange of information across the range of aquatic science, and to further investigations dealing with these subjects. ASLO is best known for its journal, Limnology and oceanography (L O), its interdisciplinary meetings, and its special symposia. http://aslo.org/
Extractions: Home About ASLO Career Information Education Resources ... Search As the leading professional organization for researchers and educators in the field of aquatic science, ASLO works to provide for their needs at all phases of professional development. ASLO is best known for its highly rated research journals, its interdisciplinary meetings and its special symposia. The society supports increasingly important programs in public education and outreach and public policy. It strives to encourage student participation and to increase opportunities for minorities in the aquatic sciences. ASLO's mission statement is: ASLO fosters a diverse, international scientific community that creates, integrates and communicates knowledge across the full spectrum of aquatic sciences, advances public awareness and education about aquatic resources and research, and promotes scientific stewardship of aquatic resources for the public interest. Its products and activities are directed toward these ends. ASLO welcomes and invites anyone interested in the aquatic sciences to join! Membership categories are available for both professionals and students. For more information, click on the "General Information" and "Member Benefits" links at right. IOOS Implementation Plan Available Congress has directed the U.S. marine science community to come together to plan, design, and implement a sustained Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS). After an extensive external review process, the IOOS national office has released the final plan, entitled "Data Management and Communications Plan for Research and Operational Integrated Ocean Observing Systems".

Extractions: modified from Singer, 1921 About this time, however, observations of natural phenomena related to the seas and oceans began to be written down. Herodotus, around 450 BC, wrote of the regular tides in the Persian Gulf, the deposition of silt in the Nile Delta, and uses the term "Atlantic" for the first time to describe the western seas. In the fourth century, the Phocaean colonists of Massila (Marseilles), sent the Greek astronomer Pytheas on a voyage out of the Pillars of Hercules (Gibraltar), where he traveled to Britain, Germany, and the Baltic Sea. He describes conditions in a distant far northern sea, which may have been in the Arctic (he describes it as having a 24 hour day at the summer solstice), as thick and gelatinous like a jellyfish (these waters are at times thick with gelatinous organisms of various kinds).

Extractions: Oceanography is the science that studies the world's oceans, its waters and depths, how they move and how they play a part in the whole of our planet. In this section you can learn more about the sea and how it affects life. The sea is not just a big bucket of salty water, but a living system that controls many aspects of this planet, and thus your life too. This section forms the basis for understanding how our planet works. Waves are caused by the wind blowing over the ocean's surface. They promote the exchange of gases between the ocean and the atmosphere and bring water movement to coastal habitats. They are responsible for the shape of our coasts and the formation of dunes and beaches. Waves can also destroy. Tsunamis and mega tsunamis are special waves. In this chapter you'll find all you need to know about waves. (14 pages)

Extractions: Learning occurs through many avenues at SDSU: classes, student organizations, on-the-job training, enrichment programs, etc. There are many University-wide opportunities available to students (athletics, band, debate, fraternity/sorority, etc.). Students are encouraged to consider all avenues to ensure a broad education during their time at SDSU. The Department of Exercise and Nutritional Sciences offers many unique opportunities for students to extend their learning beyond the classroom. Personal learning occurs through personal growth and a sense of well-being that come when giving something back to your "community". All of the community service programs highlighted in this website are available for students to volunteer for professional experience. Some volunteer experiences can become paid experiences under the right circumstances. In addition, there are student major organizations that one should join, for the networking with other professionals in your field is crucial to employment opportunities following college. In addition, the faculty have been creating endowments to support student scholarships which are presented in this section. Dietetic Internship (SDSU AP4 Program)
