The JOI/ U.S. Science Support Program's new interactive CD-ROM takes students on a voyage of discovery on board the Ocean Drilling Program?s drill ship, JOIDES Resolution, to research the extent of glaciation over the Earth during the past four million years. Using cores from two ODP sites in the northern Atlantic Ocean ... and in the Caribbean Sea, students work with scientists to investigate different sediment properties and then draw scientific conclusions with the guidance of the Chief Scientist. As students search for clues to the Earth's climate history, they learn about the links between Northern Hemisphere glaciation, plate tectonics, and ocean circulation. This educational program motivates high school and undergraduate students to synthesize specific studies together to form a sound hypothesis of broader dynamic systems. Please visit this site again this Winter to download the accompanying Gateways to Glaciation teachers' guide.
