Extractions: Inventory of Collaborative Activities The SDC has also initiated an inventory of current collaborative activity within the system. Many collaborations at the level of individual faculty, departments, colleges, and universities are already well underway and it is important to make note of those for many reasons, but mostly because they establish precedents that others can make use of in developing their own collaborations. Current collaborative activities are online in the following areas: Multidisciplinary Projects Biology Biology at USD has a joint Ph.D. in Biological Sciences with SDSU. The biology departments at USD and SDSU share a seminar course for the Ph.D. program. Biology at USD frequently has faculty from other institutions serve on their graduate committees. A partial list of some of the faculty from SDSU currently serving on graduate committees at USD includes: Gary Larson-Plant Science, Paul Johnson- Plant Science, and K. Muthukumarappan-Plant Science. Bob Rowland (Bio/Micr, SDSU) and Bill Cafruny (Microbiology, USDSM) are co-Pl's on research grants.
DISCOVERY V16n1 Economic Geology And Latin America research and other collaborative activities with universities and other entities.Among its activities, the Bureau of Economic geology (BEG) is building http://www.utexas.edu/opa/pubs/discovery/disc2001v16n1/disc_geology.html
Extractions: issue index Economic Geology and Latin America One of the oldest and largest research facilities at the University of Texas, the Bureau of Economic Geology also serves as the Texas Geological Survey. Thus, it has investigated geoscience and natural resource issues within the Texas-Mexico border area for nearly 100 years. As natural systems do not recognize man-made boundaries, following Texas earth systems into Mexico is a logical extension of Texas-based studies. The majestic Orinoco Delta in Venezuela. Mexico and Latin America offer many exciting opportunities for joint research and other collaborative activities with universities and other entities. Among its activities, the Bureau of Economic Geology (BEG) is building partnerships in Latin America that encourage initiatives in fossil energy research and environmental studies. One of the pleasures of research is the interaction with graduate students. For the past thirty years BEG has supported hundreds of graduate students from Brazil, Venezuela, Mexico and Colombia as graduate research assistants. BEG routinely supports about thirty graduate students each semester, about 20 percent of them from Latin American countries. Some of these students have become professors or senior managers and leaders of industry and government agencies in their home countries.
IGCP Project 454 MEDICAL GEOLOGY A new IGCP project was granted in February 2000 Medical geology . Regularly reviewing results of the collaborative activities of the project group http://www.medicalgeology.org/igcp_project_454_medical_geology.htm
Extractions: IGCP project 454 MEDICAL GEOLOGY UNESCO and IUGS The International Geological Correlation Programme (IGCP) is a co-operative enterprise of UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation) and IUGS (International Union of Geological Sciences). It was launched in 1972, to facilitate geological co-operation across international borders, as geological processes and structures normally cut across such boundaries. The programme's major aim was to bring together scientists from East and West and to encourage the involvement of developing countries. IGCP is interdisciplinary, covering all specialities of the Earth Sciences and establishing links with other UNESCO scientific programmes. It maintains active interfaces with disciplines related to these such as marine, atmospheric and biological sciences. Its purpose is to promote the wise use of the Earth as a human habitat and as a source of natural resources. IGCP operates world-wide with several thousand of scientists in about 150 countries. Reflecting the contemporary needs of society, the four main objectives of IGCP are as follows:

Extractions: Part of the Interactive Mathematics and Geoscience Education (IMAGE) project, Geomaths MathHelp provides mathematics self-study material embedded within the geological sciences. MathHelp "notebooks" cover specific mathematical topics accessed through a relevant geological context; for example, power functions through seismic velocities, trigonometry through cliff erosion, and integration through sediment accumulation. The notebooks contain explanations, illustrations, examples and practice quizzes (online, for registered students). Modules are organized into revision, 1st level (corresponding roughly to pre-A level and A-level standard), and 2nd level (for students of Geological Sciences who have A level mathematics or equivalent) respectively. A mathematical glossary is also constantly available.

[To Appear in Visual Geosciences, 2004, http://link.springer.de/link/service/journals/10069/ We report here our experiences from using easily acquired web-cam components for collaborative ventures in the Earth sciences. We have used a variety of hardware and different software. We demonstrate from various locations in the U.S. the feasibility of using web-cam in multitudinous activities, relevant for conducting research and knowledge dissemination. We summarize the quality of the connections from the various combinations of communicating parties. Today web-cams can be utilized as an economical and viable means of point-to-point communication in the Earth science community. Greater bandwidth is sorely needed for activities such as multi-party conferencing on the present internet network. We propose that web-cam can be readily deployed as a web-service for facilitating collaborative research over the GRID infrastructure, using the middleware NaradaBrokering. Web-cam will play an important role in the emerging field of geoinformatics.
Extractions: Dianne Whitington, Open Access College Australia Donna Triggs, Open Access College Australia Towards an e-learning Environment for Senior Science in Distance Mode The Open Access College Senior Secondary School of Distance Education in South Australia provides courses of study that allow students entry directly into university and other facilities for further education. The courses are delivered via a blended learning model with weekly scheduled teleconferencing the primary means of communication between teachers and students. Student learning is supported by face-to-face seminars, practical workshops, visits to students and online activities delivered through the learning management system, WebCT, and more recently through Centra Symposium (a synchronous online communication tool). The blend of asynchronous and synchronous teaching methods allows for individual differences and varied learning styles by providing a range of opportunities for student engagement. The authors have been awarded a scholarship to research relevant communication tools and methodologies that enhance constructivist learning within science and that support distance and flexible learning environments.
