Extractions: BA in Science: Concentration in Meteorology (Discontinued) Meteorology at San Francisco State University The campus of San Francisco State University (SFSU) lies within the city of San Francisco, on the San Francisco Peninsula in a spectacular setting overlooking the Pacific Ocean. SFSU's Department of Geosciences, part of the College of Science and Engineering and an affiliate of the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, is housed on the 5th and 6th floors of Thornton Hall The undergraduate programs in meteorology at SFSU are administered by the Department of Geosciences. As of Fall Semester 2002, the BS in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences with Concentrations in Meteorology and Oceanography will be available to students. This degree is the only one of its kind to be offered in either the California State University or University of California systems. The new degree is distinguished by its interdisciplinary core in meteorology and oceanography completed by all students regardless of concentration. The new degree will offer meteorology students several options that will be chosen with the help of a faculty advisor. These emphases are designed to prepare students for professional careers in meteorology in operational (National Weather Service) and applied meteorology. In addtion, one of the emphases is designed to provide students the background required for entry in graduate programs at leading institutions around the country. Finally, a unique interdisciplinary emphasis will prepare students to tackle the meteorologic and oceanographic aspects of climate change.

Radiation Balance Simulation involved the desire to convert a standard introductory meteorology lecture courseinto Various collaborative activities are used to draw each student into the http://www.pals.iastate.edu/simulations/library/radiationsim/instructions.html
Extractions: Radiation Balance Simulation Introduction The origins of this simulation involved the desire to convert a standard introductory meteorology lecture course into one where constructivism was the main instructional model and students were expected to take a more active role in their own learning-all without reduction of class size. The course goals were expanded to include learning how to learn science as well as learning science content. One of the major tools used to accomplish this was the use of World Wide Web server software that manages Internet class activities. ClassNet, Van Gorp and Boysen (1997), was developed to accomplish this task (http://classnet.cc.iastate.edu/). This tool allowed every student to be an active participant in learning activities with easy access to course materials, enhanced communication with the instructor and other students, rapid feedback concerning assignment and exam scores, and ready access to their private records of course performance. Course materials have been designed for introductory science courses at the secondary and college level. They are intended to be supplemental to the course, allowing the instructor to decide which materials to use and which to omit. Experience with these materials has shown that their effect, especially the effect of the simulations, is gradual and sufficient time must be allowed to observe a difference in student behavior and attitude. At Iowa State University students often find the simulations to be uncomfortable at first because they use them before they hear the corresponding lectures, but this approach is deliberate and is intended to create questions in students' minds so they will come to class seeking answers.

Extractions: Lab Activities Current Research The current projects of the Forecasting Lab include: CSTAR NSF SECMEP , and METEOSET A longstanding tradition of successful collaboration exists between the Raleigh NWS Forecast Office and NCSU. In 1999, the NWS-NCSU collaboration was taken to a new level with the funding of a NOAA CSTAR proposal- this project involves NCSU and 5 regional NWS offices, including Wilmington, Newport, and Raleigh NC, Wakefield, VA, and Greer, SC. Input from operational forecasters at these five offices allowed the CSTAR group to identify challenges that were common to all regional forecasters. The phenomenon of cold-air damming, and the coastal front, were identified, and are the focus of current CSTAR research. Currently, three graduate students and one undergraduate researcher are working with Drs. Riordan, Xie, and Lackmann on this project, with ongoing interaction at each of the five participating NWS offices. The objectives of the CSTAR Project are to: Strengthen conceptual models of Cold-Air Damming (CAD) and the Coastal Front (CF) through extended climatologies, and especially improving understanding of process-interactions during CAD and CF events. Examples include interactions of migratory frontal structures and cyclonic systems with CAD and CF events.

This Digest defines collaborative learning then discusses five experimental courses that have incorporated collaborative learning. WHAT IS COLLABORATIVE LEARNING? Collaborative learning is the instructional use of small groups. Its goal is to allow students to work together to maximize their own and others' learning. The traditional teacher's role is expanded to include facilitating and coordinating the student groups, which then assume part of the responsibility for instruction. There are five essential components that must be present for small-group learning to be truly collaborative: clear, positive interdependence among students

Extractions: International Activities Collaborations with Foreign Scientists ARL participates in a number of international collaborations, as required to accomplish its mission and as appropriate to further related scientific research. ARL policy is governed by the recognition that the air quality of the United States is slowly improving, in response to regulatory actions and emission controls, while that of other parts of the world continues to deteriorate. The atmospheric environment of North America will doubtlessly become increasingly susceptible to emissions from locations over which the United States can exert no direct control. It is the goal of ARL international activities, therefore, All of this activity is undertaken with the view that the atmosphere is only one component of a complicated multi-media environment, and that the interactions among the media must be considered when developing policy related to the quality of any one of them.

Extractions: Its called GLOBE, and each day it brings data from schools around the world onto the Internet and into the global science community. Students from the ages of approximately five through eighteen years in schools throughout the world conduct a continuing program of scientifically meaningful environmental measurements. GLOBE students transmit their data to a central data processing facility via the Internet, receive vivid images composed of their data and data from other GLOBE schools around the world, acquire information from a variety of sources, and collaborate with scientists and other GLOBE students and communities worldwide in using these data for education and research. The measurements taken by the GLOBE students serve two important purposes. First, participating scientists use these data in their research programs to improve our understanding of the global environment. Second, students not only learn how to carry out a scientifically rigorous program of Earth observations, but also learn to use their own measurements, together with data from other GLOBE schools, as a key part of their study of environmental science. Through contact with and mentoring by scientists, the students receive feedback about the value of their data sets in world class scientific research. GLOBE provides extensive educational materials to enrich the learning experience of participating students. These materials include a wide variety of classroom and field activities to help students place their measurements in a broader context and relate their own local observations to global environmental issues.
