Presentation Transcript

  1. Science Objectives Science Objectives • Science: • Understand the Earth as a system of interacting natural and human systems, including… Atmospheric Composition: the sources, sinks, and transformations of aerosols and atmospheric chemical species Climate and Weather: the Earth's weather and climate, and its future condition Water: the storage, distribution, and transport of water in all its forms Life: biogeochemical cycles and the distribution and processes of life within Earth’s ecosystems Solid Earth: the variability of the Solid Earth

  2. Science Integration Objectives • Integration: • Evolve predictive understanding for science and society through: Exploration and Discovery - Explore unknown aspects of the Earth system by implementing new investigations enabled by new insights, technologies, capabilities, and vantage points Continuous Awareness - Develop new scientific understanding of dynamic processes and demonstrate capabilities useful for operational concerns by providing prompt recognition and adaptive observation of dynamic events through the networking of distributed observing and modeling systems Developing Perspectives - Develop new scientific understanding of long-term Earth processes and trends by sustaining and integrating comprehensive global observing and modeling systems

  3. NASA ESS focus: 2005-2015 • Focus missions on atmospheric composition, climate and weather • Aerosols • Ice & snow • Ocean currents • Land biomass • Geological hazards

  4. Session Format • Your job is to explain future NASA ESS science to the world, one focus area at a time. • Your team will begin to identify: • Public interest • Educational value • Computers are pre-loaded with: • 1 or 2 projected science achievements • Brief explanation of the science relevance • NSES (grades 5-8) and NGES standards • Table for group entries

  5. Session Format • Groups will rotate through 3 of 5 computer stations • 1st rotation – 30 minutes. Review future science accomplishment and rationale. Provide public interest and educational value. • 2nd rotation – 15 minutes. Review science accomplishment and contribution of previous group. Continue filling in form – adding to (not duplicating) previous group’s work. • 3rd rotation – 10 minutes. Repeat! • After 3rd rotation – each group will report out to full group the results at their table
