In fact, more than 70% of the earth’s surface is covered by ocean water. The ocean is vast, deep, and in places represents some of the most remote, hostile, and dynamic environments on Earth. To date, we have explored less than 10% of the world beneath the sea, yet in our voyage of discovery, we find the most dramatic and dynamic topography on the planet; we find thriving ecosystems where we were sure there could be no life at all; and perhaps most important, we find keys and clues to the evolution of Earth itself. Although we are a long way from understanding the relationship between humanity and the sea, one important headline has emerged: a healthy global ocean is critical to human health. Any review of recent scientific literature, anecdotal evidence from those that

    Rock Stars of Geology By Meredith Paige Sullivan A with Honors project for ESC 102-051W Julie Angel December 13, 2017 While women have been a driving force in the scientific community for decades, there is a surprising lack of women who pursue careers in science. Why Aren’t There More Women in Science? . Bullying by peers - Ex. “You’re a girl and girls aren’t good at science.” . Stereotypes within our culture - Ex. “Science isn’t feminine.” Science is frequently viewed as a masculine profession. We often see this stereotype reinforced in the media. Bias within the scientific community . Women are often sidelined, receiving less office or lab space, less money than male colleagues, and less recognition for their accomplishments. No encouragement -Oftentimes, girls interested in pursuing careers in science experience a lack of encouragement from their peers, family, or teachers. Although women are underrepresented in the scientific community, they have made countless contributions to the scientific field. We will be focusing on women who have had an impact in the field of Geology. "File:Florence Bascom2.jpg."

Michigan Avenue Chicago, Illinois 60616 [email protected] www.thehistorymakers.com Creator: Wright, Dawn Title: The HistoryMakers® Video Oral History Interview with Dawn Wright, Dates: November 27, 2012 Bulk Dates: 2012 Physical Description: 8 MOV HD video files (3:42:32). Abstract: Oceanographer Dawn Wright (1961 - ) is an expert in geographic information systems and has traveled the world mapping and sampling the ocean floor. Wright was interviewed by The HistoryMakers® on November 27, 2012, in Los Angeles, California. This collection is comprised of the original video footage of the interview. Identification: A2012_204 Language: The interview and records are in English. Biographical Note by The HistoryMakers® Professor Dawn Jeannine Wright was born on April 15, 1961 to Jeanne and Robert Wright. Wright grew up on the island of Maui, Hawaii, fascinated by stories of adventure and discovery of the open seas. She graduated cum laude with her B.S. degree in geology from Wheaton College in 1983. She then earned her M.S. degree in oceanography from Texas A&M University in 1986. Following graduation from Texas A&M University, Wright served for three years as a seagoing marine laboratory specialist with the Ocean Drilling Program, where she undertook expeditions throughout the Pacific and Indian Oceans and offshore of Antarctica. Wright received her Ph.D. degree in geography and marine geology from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 1994 with a dissertation entitled “From Pattern to Process on the Deep Ocean Floor: a Geographic Information System Approach.” The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) hired Wright as a postdoctoral research associate following graduation.

    Forum GIS: Tool or Science? Demystifying the Persistent Ambiguity of GIS as “Tool” versus “Science” Dawn J. Wright,* Michael F.Goodchild,** and James D. Proctor*** *Department of Geosciences, Oregon State University **Department of Geography and National Center for Geographic Information and Analysis, University of California, Santa Barbara ***Department of Geography, University of California, Santa Barbara Is GIS a tool or a science? The question is clearly important in the day-to-day operations of geography departments. Departments need to know if GIS is a tool that should be taught at the undergraduate level, or a science and thus a legitimate research specialty of faculty and graduate students. We summarize the debate on this question that was conducted on GIS-L electronic listserver in late 1993. In evaluating this discussion it became clear that GIS could be understood not by the two distinct positions taken by the GIS-L discussants but as three positions along a continuum ranging from tool to science. These positions attach several meanings to “doing GIS.” These are (1) GIS as tool, i.e., the use of a particular class of software, associated hardware tools, and digital geographic data in order to advance some specific purpose; (2) GIS as toolmaking, i.e., the advancement of the tool’s capabilities and facilities (ease of use); and (3) the science of GIS, i.e., the analysis of the fundamental issues raised by the use of GIS. Recognizing the importance of understanding what is meant by “doing science” as well as what is meant by “doing GIS,” we conclude that only one of these positions—“the science of GIS”—is a sufficient condition for science.

  • Academic Report COAS 11 12 Final
    College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences ACADEMIC REPORT FOR 2011-2012 2011-12 CEOAS Programmatic Achievements 1. Key Initiatives and Noteworthy Outcomes a. Student engagement and success • The college has successfully merged three graduate majors (Atmospheric Science, Oceanography, Geophysics) into one (Ocean, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences). The CEOAS graduate programs have been restructured to reflect an increased emphasis on a “systems” approach to Earth science research and education. In this new view, ocean, atmospheric, and earth science knowledge and training are all needed in interdisciplinary understanding of planetary processes and policy options. Fall 2011 marked the third year of offering interdisciplinary breadth courses (The Solid Earth, The Fluid Earth, The Biogeochemical Earth). The new courses and single major has provided context and intellectual identity (as Earth systems scientists) for incoming student cohorts. Student evaluations are positive and constructive feedback is being used to enhance and strengthen the breadth courses. • CEOAS offers three graduate level field experiences that occur prior to the start of Fall term. These courses are the Cascadia Field Trip, Field Geography, and Math on the Beach. They provide a primer to the 1st year curriculum as well as a unique student experience that builds friendships and strengthens the cohort. • One hallmark of the CEOAS research enterprise is the level of productivity and achievement of our graduate students. This is measured annually using a progress reporting process performed by students and their advisors. Information collected to measure productivity includes scholarship details, presenting material at conferences and contributing to research papers. The results indicate that students remain actively involved in presenting and publishing their research.
