Inventory of Collaborative Activities The SDC has also initiated an inventory of current collaborative activity within the system. Many collaborations at the level of individual faculty, departments, colleges, and universities are already well underway and it is important to make note of those for many reasons, but mostly because they establish precedents that others can make use of in developing their own collaborations. Current collaborative activities are online in the following areas: Biology Chemistry Physics Geology / Earth Science ... Multidisciplinary Projects Biology Biology at USD has a joint Ph.D. in Biological Sciences with SDSU. The biology departments at USD and SDSU share a seminar course for the Ph.D. program. Biology at USD frequently has faculty from other institutions serve on their graduate committees. A partial list of some of the faculty from SDSU currently serving on graduate committees at USD includes: Gary Larson-Plant Science, Paul Johnson- Plant Science, and K. Muthukumarappan-Plant Science. Bob Rowland (Bio/Micr, SDSU) and Bill Cafruny (Microbiology, USDSM) are co-Pl's on research grants.

Dept Home Student Info Faculty Research ... home TEACHING Reservoir Geoscience and Engineering The IFP was created in 1944 for the purpose of developing a high level of technical, economic and management skills in the fields of petroleum and energy. IFP trains about 500 graduate students per year in a variety of petroleum-related fields. IFP students are selected among candidates from leading worldwide engineering schools and universities; fifty countries were represented in 1999. The joint TAMU/IFP program, formally called Reservoir Geoscience and Engineering, prepares reservoir geoscientists with a good working knowledge of petroleum geosciences and engineering for efficient collaboration on interdisciplinary teams. The Geology-Geophysics alliance with IFP began about two years ago when IFP representatives visited the TAMU Petroleum Engineering Department and invited Dr. Wayne Ahr to discuss potential collaborative programs in Geosciences. Dr. Luc Ikelle recently became involved and helped develop the current program. TAMU has a formal Memorandum of Agreement for collaborative teaching and research with IFP.

IGCP project 454 MEDICAL GEOLOGY UNESCO and IUGS What is IGCP? The International Geological Correlation Programme (IGCP) is a co-operative enterprise of UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation) and IUGS (International Union of Geological Sciences). It was launched in 1972, to facilitate geological co-operation across international borders, as geological processes and structures normally cut across such boundaries. The programme's major aim was to bring together scientists from East and West and to encourage the involvement of developing countries. IGCP is interdisciplinary, covering all specialities of the Earth Sciences and establishing links with other UNESCO scientific programmes. It maintains active interfaces with disciplines related to these such as marine, atmospheric and biological sciences. Its purpose is to promote the wise use of the Earth as a human habitat and as a source of natural resources. IGCP operates world-wide with several thousand of scientists in about 150 countries. Reflecting the contemporary needs of society, the four main objectives of IGCP are as follows:

15. Recommendations For Curriculum Developers Here are the five classrooms in which Visualizing Earth geology activities weredeveloped and implemented by the collaborative team of K12 and university http://visualizingearth.ucsd.edu/recommends/forcurrdev.html

For Teachers Curriculum Developers Technology Developers For Curriculum Developers Collaborative Curriculum Development Five different classrooms served as "testing grounds" for the San Diego Visualizing Earth activities. In each of the classrooms, a different version of collaboration between university researchers and K-12 teachers emerged during the curriculum development and implementation. The collaborations differed in the roles played by the key participants, but in all cases, these collaborations were organized differently than more traditional models of curricular change. Traditionally, curricular activities are created by individual teachers in their classrooms, but dissemination of these innovations outside of that particular classroom is often limited. In another common model, new curricular activities are developed by professional curriculum writers who provide the fully developed programs to teachers who ideally receive inservice training prior to implementation. The emerging collaborations in the San Diego curriculum implementation and evaluation activities allowed us to examine new models of curriculum development and identify the factors that affect their organization. In one version of collaboration that emerged, the elementary and middle school teachers chose the instructional content and provided general science instruction, while university personnel served as "guest lecturers" in specific lessons that used visualizations as the focus of the learning. In the second model of collaboration, middle/high school teachers worked with university staff to develop geology activities using high resolution images which the teachers implemented in their own classrooms. And in the third version, university personnel provided technical and assessment support for middle and high school teachers who not only implemented but also led the developed of visualization activities in their science lessons.

MARINE GEOLOGY GROUP INSTITUTE OF MARINE SCIENCES (CSIC) BARCELONA Group History The scientific activity of the Marine Geology Group of the CSIC in Barcelona begins in 1980, within the Department of Stratigraphy of the University of Barcelona , led by Dr. A. Maldonado . The Group contributed to a strong impulse in the field of the Marine Geociences in Spain. Initially named as Unit of Marine Geology it was integrated in the Institute of Earth Sciences "Jaume Almera" European Scientific Committee of the Ocean Drilling Program, Advanced Study Workshops on Mediterranean Marine Geosciences IOB, SCAR, etc). On the other hand, the Group of Marine Geology of the CSIC has developed a work of great transcendency in both basic science and marine technology, obtaining its best results in main projects of international scientific cooperation. Among these stand out the " Ocean Drilling Program InterRidge and "Tredmar" supported by the Unesco, the European Science Foundation and the EU "Mast" Program. Research Topics and Objectives The main research topics and objectives in focus in the Group of Marine Geology of the CSIC of Barcelona are the following: (1) Shelf-Ocean Transfer influence in sedimentary processes and models of particulate matter and associated pollutants in the marine environment.

There are, however, three focal points of interest to the geoscience group which we will address. 1. Actions and findings of Project STEF. This program started in the summer of 2000 and addressed the need to strengthen the Earth Science pedagogical approach of teachers while enlisting them in the purpose of recruiting new teachers. A three day experience and follow-up meetings engaged in-service teachers in a fourfold approach to improving geoscience education. The approach combined: A. Field-based inquiry, B. Technology-based use of data, C. Clarification of underlying Earth Science content standards. D. Encouragement of students to consider teaching as a career goal. Outcomes measured formatively and recorded for this endeavor included increased understanding and knowledge of A. B. and C. as well as increased commitment to pursue D. On-going follow up activities include meetings of STEF participants and the Earth2 class extension to a full joint STAC/LDEO credit bearing program.
