Track 1 Collaborative Research: Partnership to Enhance Diversity in Marine Geosciences: Holocene Climate and Anthropogenic Changes from Long Island Sound, NYA project based on multidisciplinary investigations of Long Island Sound is being used as a vehicle to enhance diversity in geosciences. The project includes a curriculum centered on geoscience with substantial field and laboratory components. As part of the field component, students participate in a one week oceanographic expedition to Long Island Sound that is designed to illustrate the dominant physical processes in an urban coastal area by using a variety of oceanographic mapping techniques, such as multibeam bathymetric mapping, sediment and water sampling, and current profiling. The working hypothesis for the project is that City of New York students will be attracted to geosciences after participating in an integrated field and research experience that familiarizes them with their environment and introduces them to solving geoscience problems in a hands-on manner in a supportive environment where students are mentored on a one-on-one basis. The main scientific objectives of the project are: 1) to evaluate the impact of anthropogenic activities through studies of water, plankton, and sediments; and 2) to assess long-term climatic variability (during the last 10,000 years) through studies of sediment samples and acoustic imagery of the seafloor. Secondary objectives are to assess the risk of contamination due to anthropogenic activities, propose measures for remediation, and begin to evaluate long-term climatic patterns for the region. During this project, students are being trained in marine data acquisition and introduced to techniques commonly used by geoscientists and environmental scientists. The field experience and curriculum in coastal marine sciences developed through this project are expected to motivate and prepare students to pursue careers in the geosciences, environmental science, and geoscience education. The students are guided to participate in summer internships to strengthen their involvement in geosciences. A long-term goal is to use the strategy developed and repeat the field program every two years to integrate the Long Island Sound research-education experience to the core geoscience curriculum at Queens College and other CUNY colleges. The data collected forms the basis of a unique time-series that builds over time and is used for educational purposes at CUNY colleges and by visitors to the NSF sponsored Digital Library for Earth System Education.

第 1 轨道合作研究：加强海洋地球科学多样性的伙伴关系：纽约长岛海峡的全新世气候和人为变化项目基于对长岛海峡的多学科调查，被用作增强地球科学多样性的工具。该项目包括以地球科学为中心的课程，其中包括大量的现场和实验室组成部分。作为实地考察的一部分，学生将参加为期一周的长岛海峡海洋学考察，该考察旨在通过使用各种海洋学测绘技术（例如多波束测深测绘、沉积物和沉积物）来说明城市沿海地区的主要物理过程。水采样和电流分析。该项目的工作假设是，纽约市的学生在参与综合领域和研究经验后将被地球科学所吸引，这些经验使他们熟悉自己的环境，并引导他们在支持性环境中以实践的方式解决地球科学问题学生接受一对一的指导。该项目的主要科学目标是： 1）通过对水、浮游生物和沉积物的研究来评估人类活动的影响； 2) 通过研究沉积物样本和海底声学图像来评估长期气候变化（过去一万年）。次要目标是评估人为活动造成的污染风险，提出补救措施，并开始评估该地区的长期气候模式。在该项目期间，学生将接受海洋数据采集方面的培训，并了解地球科学家和环境科学家常用的技术。通过该项目开发的沿海海洋科学领域的实地经验和课程预计将激励和准备学生从事地球科学、环境科学和地球科学教育的职业。引导学生参加暑期实习，加强对地球科学的参与。 长期目标是利用制定的策略，每两年重复一次实地计划，将长岛湾的研究教育经验整合到皇后学院和纽约市立大学其他学院的核心地球科学课程中。收集的数据构成了随着时间的推移而建立的独特时间序列的基础，并用于纽约市立大学学院的教育目的以及供美国国家科学基金会赞助的地球系统教育数字图书馆的访问者使用。
