(12) GLOBE Partner Expedition to Antarctica
October 2008 marks the start of a three-month International Polar Year
expedition, called the Offshore New Harbor, to image sediments located below the
sea floor. This project is part of the ANDRILL Program (ANtarctic DRILLing), a
multinational initiative to recover stratigraphic core records for interpreting
Antarctic’s climatic, glacial, and tectonic history.


The expedition team will include scientists, students, and a schoolteacher who
will live on the sea ice while collecting data that will seismically image the
sediments that lie beneath the sea floor in the New Harbor area. The objective
of this expedition will be to locate the optimal site to drill these sediments
in the near future.

Educational activities are planned while on the ice, including the collection of
meteorological data to be entered into the GLOBE Web site for use in student
research. There will also be links posted to expedition audio and video blogs.
Once the expedition gets under way, there will be a link to these materials
through the main GLOBE Web site: http://www.globe.gov.

(13) International GLOBE Gathering Kicks off New Student Research Approach
An Aug. 3-9 workshop brought together a diverse cross-section of the
international GLOBE community. GLOBE partners and trainers received a hands-on
introduction to GLOBE’s Earth System Science Projects (ESSPs) and the GLOBE
model of student research designed to support student scientific research around
environmental topics.

This workshop is the first of several events designed to introduce the
fundamentals of these projects and to glean feedback vital to the further
development of ESSPs suitable for use in a wide variety of geographic regions,
climate zones, and classroom environments around the world. The workshop was
co-sponsored by GLOBE and the Digital Library for Earth System Education
(DLESE).

As a major outcome, GLOBE Partners are developing a professional staff
development plan that they will be able to implement with Partners and teachers
in their countries and regions during the coming year—focusing on curriculum
elements and inquiry and research strategies that are easily adaptable to local
implementation.

The ultimate outcome will be the development of a new GLOBE Student Research
Collaboratory and a global campaign that focuses on climate change. The Student
Research Collaboratory is intended to be a one-stop Web site that will provide a
discreet set of tools and resources designed to support student inquiry and
teacher facilitation of student scientific research as well as on-line
collaboration between students, teachers, and scientists.

(22) NASA MARS LANDER SEES FALLING SNOW, SOIL DATA SUGGEST LIQUID PAST
Sept. 29 - NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander has detected snow falling from Martian
clouds. Spacecraft soil tests experiments also have provided evidence of past
interaction between minerals and liquid water, processes that occur on Earth. A
laser instrument designed to gather knowledge of how the atmosphere and surface
interact on Mars, detected snow from clouds about 2.5 miles above the
spacecraft's landing site. Data show the snow vaporizing before reaching the
ground.
http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/phoenix/main/index.html.

(23) NASA ORBITER REVEALS ROCK FRACTURE PLUMBING ON MARS
Sept. 25 - NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has revealed hundreds of small
fractures exposed on the Martian surface that billions of years ago directed
flows of water through underground Martian sandstone. Researchers used images
from the spacecraft's High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment, or HiRISE,
camera. Images of layered rock deposits at equatorial Martian sites show the
clusters of fractures to be a type called deformation bands, caused by stresses
below the surface in granular or porous bedrock. Images of the deformation band
clusters and additional information about the mission are on the Internet at:
http://www.nasa.gov/mro.

(24) Ulysses Reveals Global Solar Wind Plasma Output at 50-Year Low
Sept. 23 - Solar physicists have announced that the solar wind is losing
pressure, hitting a 50-year record low for the Space Age. This development has
repercussions across the solar system. Data from the Ulysses spacecraft, a joint
NASA-European Space Agency mission, show the sun has reduced its output of solar
wind to the lowest levels since accurate readings became available. The sun's
current state could reduce the natural shielding that envelops our solar system.
The sun's solar wind plasma is a stream of charged particles ejected from the
sun's upper atmosphere. The solar wind interacts with every planet in our solar
system. It also defines the border between our solar system and interstellar
space. More information about the Ulysses mission is available on the Web at:
http://ulysses.jpl.nasa.gov.

(25) NASA’s Mars Rover to Head Toward Bigger Crater
Sept. 22 - NASA's Mars Rover Opportunity is setting its sights on a crater more
than 20 times larger than its home for the past two years. In order to reach the
crater the rover team calls Endeavour, Opportunity would need to drive
approximately 7 miles to the southeast, matching the total distance it has
traveled since landing on Mars in early 2004. The rover team estimates the
journey could take two years with Opportunity traveling 110 yards per day.
However, getting there would yield a look inside a bowl 13.7 miles across, where
scientists expect to see a much deeper stack of rock layers than those examined
by Opportunity in Victoria Crater.

(26) NASA's Swift Spots Farthest Gamma-Ray Burst
Sept. 19 - NASA's Swift satellite has found the most distant gamma-ray burst
ever detected. The blast, designated GRB 080913, arose from an exploding star
12.8 billion light-years away. Because light moves at finite speed, looking
farther into the universe means looking back in time. GRB 080913's "lookback
time" reveals that the burst occurred less than 825 million years after the
universe began. For the latest news and mission update from the Swift satellite,

(27) Cool Movies of Polar Crown Prominences
Sept. 17 - Japan's Hinode spacecraft is beaming back must-see movies of a
spectacular solar phenomenon known as 'polar crown prominences.' Studying polar
crown prominences could be a key to forecasting space weather. The central
sheets form between regions of opposite-polarity magnetic field, which is
significant because opposite magnetic fields bumping together tend to explode—a
process physicists call "reconnection." Polar crown prominences are thus poised
to erupt and often do, forming the cores of billion-ton coronal mass ejections.

The new view is challenging long-held ideas: In the past, researchers thought of
prominences as mainly static structures, held motionless above the surface of
the sun by magnetic force fields. To learn more and watch a Quicktime movie
recorded by Hinode, visit:

(28) Arctic Sea Ice Reaches Lowest Coverage for 2008
Sept. 16 - Arctic sea ice coverage appears to have reached its lowest extent for
the year and the second-lowest amount recorded since the dawn of the satellite
era, according to observations from the NASA-supported National Snow and Ice
Data Center at the University of Colorado in Boulder.

The National Snow and Ice Data Center will issue an analysis of the possible
causes behind this year's Arctic sea ice conditions during the first week of
October. For updates, visit: http://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews

(29) NASA Selects Mission to Study Mars Atmosphere
Sept. 15 - NASA has selected a Mars robotic mission that will provide
information about the Red Planet's atmosphere, climate history and potential
habitability in greater detail than ever before. Called the Mars Atmosphere and
Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) spacecraft, the $485 million mission is scheduled for
launch in late 2013. For more information about NASA's exploration of Mars,

(30) Spooky Hurricane Science
Sept. 12 - To improve hurricane forecasting, NASA engineers are spending time in
a spooky room where 'no one can hear you scream. Also known as the "Anechoic
Chamber,” at Marshall Space Flight Center, researchers are using this facility
to test a prototype hurricane sensor called HIRAD (Hurricane Imaging
RADiometer.) HIRAD is designed to scan large areas of ocean for microwave
signals that portend storm strength and dynamics. By collecting and transmitting
these data to forecasters, HIRAD could reduce property damage and even save
lives.

(31) Report Explores Use of Earth Data to Support National Priorities
Sept. 8 – NASA sponsored a report by the U.S. Climate Change Science program
that determined the nation faces challenges in utilizing Earth science
information to manage resources and protect public health. The report examines
the computer-based decision support tools that many government agencies use to
make predictions and forecasts in areas such as agricultural productivity, air
quality, renewable energy resources, water management, and the prevention of
vector-borne disease.

The report, titled "Uses and Limitations of Observations, Data, Forecasts, and
Other Projections in Decision Support for Selected Sectors and Regions" found
that while these tools have successfully incorporated Earth science information
to address a number of issues, they are not yet widely used to investigate the
implications of future climate change.

(32) NASA to Explore a “Secret Layer” of the Sun
Sept. 5 - NASA researchers are preparing to launch an experimental telescope
that can see a "secret layer" of the sun thought to be the birthplace of space
weather. Read the full article at:

(33) Amateur Astronomers See Perseids Hit the Moon
Sept. 2 - Amateur astronomers watching the Perseid meteor shower last month saw
meteoroids hitting not only Earth but also the Moon. Using backyard telescopes
and off-the-shelf video cameras, the astronomers recorded these impacts. The
silent explosions were equivalent to ~100 lbs of TNT and produced flashes of
light visible a quarter of a million miles away on Earth. To read more and see
photographs, visit:

EDUCATION FAIR AT POLYTECHNIC
Arizona State University will host the Fourth Annual Education Fair at the
Polytechnic campus on October 4, 2008 for administrators and educators of all
educational levels in Arizona.

The goal of the Education Fair is to enhance instructional innovation by
providing opportunities for networking and sharing resources between community
partners, educators, and university students. More than 50 community partners
have participated in past Education Fairs, including the Botanical Gardens,
American Red Cross, Arizona Museum for Youth, Leapfrog School House, Riparian
Institute, Science is Fun, and many more. SRP and AFRE (Arizona Foundation for
Resource Education) are the primary sponsors for this exciting event.

Attendees will have many opportunities throughout the day to gather new ideas,
information, and freebies. In addition to a large community resource Fair,
breakout sessions will also be available. Participants can select breakout
sessions of their choice and take away lessons that can be quickly and easily
implemented in their classrooms.
This year, the Fair¢s educational opportunities will be expanded to include
breakout sessions by local educators and content area workshops, which can be
used to meet the professional development requirements for many local districts.
These breakout sessions and workshops will range from 60 -90 minutes, and cover
a wide range of content and issues including special education, English as a
second language, science, math, reading, social studies, art, educational games,
and more. Each session emphasizes the use of community resources in the
classroom and content is aligned with state academic standards.

The Fair is open to educators from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., in the Student Union
Ballrooms and the Polytechnic classrooms. Registration for the entire day¢s
events is only $20. Full-time Education students at ASU, CAC or MCCD can attend
for $10 (with student ID). Check-in will be from 7:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. in the
Student Union.
For more information, contact Dr. Debi Molina-Walters at 480-727-1510 or by

Young People For Leadership Fellowship
Posted by: "Alyssa Macy" alyssamacy@...

[image: Young People For the American Way]

*The Young People For (YP4)
fellowship<http://www.youngpeoplefor.org/programs/fellowship>
* is a yearlong program for students who will be enrolled in a two- or
four-year college or university during the upcoming calendar year.

YP4 provides young leaders and activists with the leadership development,
networks, skills and support they need to effect positive change on their
campuses, in their communities and around the country. *We are now accepting
nominations <http://apps.youngpeoplefor.org/public/nominate.php> for the
2009 fellowship class.*

Young People for is committed to expanding the network of tribal college
students into our broader fellowship network, and are working to build
partnerships with administrators, professors and community leaders to enable
our programming to better serve Native communities.

Young People For currently has fellows from Dine College, Oglala Lakota
College, Fon-du-Lac Tribal and Community College and Blackfeet Nation
Community College. Right now fellows from these campuses are implementing
community-initiatives on voter registration, youth and cultural identity
development, and language preservation among many other issues important for
their communities. Several also have paid internship positions with Black
Mesa Water Coalition <http://www.blackmesawatercoalition.org/>, working on
environmental justice issues and Native Vote <http://nativevote.org/>,
registering student voters at Oglala Lakota College.

*All fellows receive an all-expense paid trip to the fifth annual YP4
National Summit in Washington, D.C., to be held February 12–16, 2009. *At
the Summit, fellows meet leaders from the progressive community, network
with other activists and take part in a series of skill, leadership and
strategy development workshops.

Following the Summit, YP4 offers one-on-one support for fellows to implement
self-designed projects — called Blueprints for Social Justice Fellows can
also apply for the capacity building program, with professional coaching
sessions, group coaching and a paid internship.

The yearlong program provides each fellow with:

· Customized social justice, power analysis and organizing training

· Strategic and tactical training

· Network- and community-building opportunities

· Financial support to implement a self-designed Blueprint for Social
Justice

· Personalized leadership and professional development support and
mentorship

"*As the former president of the YP4 network, I can say they have provided
me the unique opportunity as a tribal college student to work with student
leaders nationwide on addressing the problems affecting our communities and
provide financial support to help address these problems. They understand
the need for Native students to stay in our communities so we can help
empower our own community."*

*—Kevin Killer <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAP58TcECBc&feature=user>,
YP4 Fellowship Class of 2006*

*Oglala Lakota College**, South Dakota*

Young People For is looking for professors, administrators, community
leaders and campus activists to nominate innovative and promising young
progressive leaders. Nominators play a crucial role in our search for
promising young leaders and activists. *Anyone can nominate a fellow.
Self-nominations are appropriate and encouraged.*

*Nominate a young leader
today<http://apps.youngpeoplefor.org/public/nominate.php>

Subject: FW: Adaptation to Climate Change Conference

Adaptation to Climate Change in the Desert Southwest Conference - save the date
January 22-23, 2009 Westward Look Resort, Tucson AZ

The University of Arizona  is hosting a climate change conference sponsored by
the Institute for the Study of Planet Earth, James E.
Rogers College of Law, Climate Assessment for the Southwest, and the Program on
Economics, Law, and the Environment.

Scientists predict that climate change will exact a heavy toll upon the
southwestern United States regardless of what is done to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions. As a result, the southwestern United States is a test case for
climate scientists, economists, lawyers, policymakers and national, state,
tribal and community leaders across the nation. This conference will explore how
we can adapt to these changes in a manner that reduces the environmental and
social costs of climate change. Specifically, what can we do now to maximize the
potential for a sustainable southwestern natural and human habitat?
Join an outstanding group of scientists, scholars, and national and regional
community leaders to take a hard look at one of the most powerful questions of
our time: what will climate change mean for the southwest?  The keynote speaker
is the 2005 Nobel Prize Laureate in Economics, Thomas Schelling.

High School Seniors:

Arizona Recycling Scholarship Program Application

A Step-by-Step Guide to Planning Your Project Proposal

    1. Identify a need or problem to address: Think about areas where you see a
need for waste reduction and/or recycling in your school or community. The
problems you find in everyday situations can often be the best opportunities for
such a project.
    2. Do some brainstorming: Make a list of possible actions that could help
solve the problem. Come up with as many ideas as possible. Ask people you know
for ideas; brainstorm with a group; include outrageous and off-the-wall ideas;
write them all down and don't analyze or criticize any ideas until you've run
out of ideas. Ideas could also include a campus education and/or collection
projects. Finally, after you've come up with all the ideas you can, start
thinking through them and begin narrowing the list.
    3. Now choose a solution: Look at the big list and ask these questions:
           * Which ideas are possible to do in the amount of time I have?
           * Which ideas fit the concept of the 3R's - Reduce, Reuse, and
Recycle?
           * Which ideas will have results I can measure?
           * Which ideas do I like the best?
    4. Put together a plan of action: List each step you will need to take to
complete your project. For each step decide what needs to be done, how much time
you will need, who you will work with, what you will need, and how you will get
the things you need.
    5. Enlist help: Don't be afraid to ask for assistance, it may be just what
you need to design and carry out a successful project.
    6. Plan how you will measure your results: Decide what information you will
need to show "before and after" changes. It is best to have more than one way of
measuring the changes. You could measure the amount of waste you reduced, the
number of people you influenced, or the cost savings that could result from your
project.
    7. Write your project proposal: Project proposals must clearly describe the
education campaign that will promote recycling and/or describe the solid waste
reduction or collection project that will be implemented at the school or within
the community during Earth Month. Your proposal should include the following:
the goal of the project, description of the project, how it will be implemented,
and a timeline of the project and how you will measure the result of the
project.

                Next Generation – Making A Green Trail
A Conference & Celebration For Young People
  Who Are Taking Action to Create A Sustainable Future


4-8 PM Wednesday 12 November 2008, Budagher Hall, Bosque School Albuquerque, NM


The “Next Generation – Making A Green Trail” is a conference and celebration of
young people who are taking action to create a sustainable ecological and human
environment. The conference format consists of a series of case studies
presented by young people who have committed their time to various environmental
projects. Last year’s participants included, a student who had embarked on a
year-long fossil-fuel-free life change, a group of students who had studied the
issues of wildlife living in a increasingly urbanized world, and students who
were weighing the environmental and nutritional value of consuming local foods.
Through their efforts, these young people are helping to map out a green trail
for others to follow. The conference will include opportunities for participants
to share their own accomplishments as well as consider how they can expand their
own actions on behalf of a greener and more sustainable community.


Who Should Attend?: Young people, especially high school students, and others
involved with students who are demonstrating an extracurricular interest in the
environment and sustainability and are working towards a healthier future for
humans and the Earth.

Subject: [pwlist] Early Childhood Field Test Educators Needed - Teachers of
Children Ages 3-7
Field Test Educators Needed—Teachers and Caregivers of Children Ages 3-7

The Council for Environmental Education is seeking early childhood educators of
children ages 3-7 to field test activities to be included in a new early
childhood curriculum for its Project WILD program. Having reached the milestone
of training 1,000,000 educators in 2006, Project WILD is one of the most
successful and widely-used conservation and environmental education programs
among educators of students in kindergarten through high school. The new
curriculum will allow us to expand our reach and more directly address the needs
of early childhood educators.
The new curriculum guide will serve as the cornerstone for a national early
childhood initiative that builds literacy skills and environmental appreciation
among early learners through participation in engaging wildlife-based
educational activities. The curriculum will feature activities that provide
opportunities for children to directly observe wildlife in the classroom and in
nature, engage in games that simulate natural processes, role play in the guise
of many animals, consider how their actions impact the environment, practice
early math and literacy skills while learning about wildlife and the natural
world, and so much more designed to help connect young learners to nature.
Field Test participants will be offered a stipend and will receive a
complimentary copy of the new early childhood curriculum after it is printed.
Participants will also be acknowledged by name in the new publication.
Field testing will begin in November and will continue into February 2009. We
will accept applications on an as needed basis through early January 2009.
Spaces are limited, so if you know you want to participate, don’t delay in
expressing interest. For more information or to receive an application, please
contact Jennifer Paschke by email at
jenniferpcee@...<mailto:jenniferpcee@...>.
We are really excited about adding an early childhood curriculum to our Project
WILD program offerings and want to test activities with early childhood
educators representing the wide range of young learners we hope to reach with
this publication.

November 12 & 19 (Wednesdays) - Harvard Law School Native Foods Day
       Location:   Harkness Commons, Harvard Law School
       Time:        11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.

November 10 (Monday) - Digging Veritas: The Archaeology and History of the
Indian College
Location:   Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology - Hall of the North
American Indian
       Time:        5:00 –7:00 p.m.
Description:    The Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology presents a new
exhibition on the archaeology of Harvard Yard entitled Digging
Veritas: The Archaeology and History of the Indian College and Student Life at
Colonial Harvard. Through archaeological finds from Harvard Yard, historic maps,
and more, the exhibition reveals how students lived at Colonial Harvard, and the
role of the Indian College in Harvard’s early years.

Student archaeologists unearthed evidence of colonial Harvard as a landscape
shaped by social and religious tensions—tensions that affected everything from
Native American and English settler relationships to the everyday routines of
student life.  As the students searched for meaning in the material remains of
Harvard students of the past, three themes emerged: literacy and the Indian
College; rule (breaking) and religion; and negotiations of social status. Who
knew small fragments buried below ground could reveal so much?
November 13 (Thursday) - From Stereotyping to Invisibility: Consequences of
American Indian Social Representations on American Indian and European American
Students
       Location:   Harvard University, Boylston Hall - Fong Auditorium
       Time:        Reception: 6:00 – 6:30 p.m.; Presentation: 6:30 p.m.

Description:   Stephanie A. Fryberg, Assistant Professor in the department of
Psychology and an Affiliate Faculty member in American Indian Studies at the
University of Arizona, will examine the impact of both stereotypes and
invisibility on psychological wellbeing of American Indian students.
