Applications are being accepted for an EarthScope workshop for
interpretive rangers and museum educators in the Yellowstone--Snake
River Plain--Teton region. The workshop will be held September 9-12,
2010 at the Teton Science School in Jackson, Wyoming. Expected
participants include employees of the National Park Service, U. S.
Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, state parks, museums, and
other organizations and individuals that interpret natural and cultural
history to the public. We also welcome applications from K-12 Earth
science teachers who interact with interpretive specialists in parks or
museums, as well as from college faculty teaching geology field camps or
informal education programs in the region.
Participants do not have to be geologists, but they should have some
knowledge of the geology of the region and experience incorporating
geological information into interpretive programs or exhibits.
The application deadline is August 1, 2010.
EarthScope is a National Science Foundation (NSF) Program that deploys
seismic, GPS, and other instruments to explore the structure and
evolution of the North American continent and understand processes that
cause earthquakes and volcanic eruptions (www.earthscope.org). The
workshop will combine presentations by EarthScope scientists and
interpretive specialists to convey the story of how geological processes
result in the region's dynamic landscape. Participants will
learn how to use EarthScope data and science results, and will develop
and present interpretive programs during the workshop.
The EarthScope National Office will cover participant expenses while at
the workshop, including shared lodging, food, materials, and field trip
travel. Participants or their organizations are expected to pay their
own travel costs to and from the workshop.
