Alaska experiences more earthquake and volcanic activity than any other US state, and many Alaskan communities are unusually remote and will potentially be isolated from support during a natural disaster. The EarthScope Alaska Native Geoscience Learning Experience (EarthScope ANGLE) aims to increase Alaskan resilience to geohazards through education and building of an action oriented statewide learning community that connects formal and informal educators, emergency management personnel, scientists, students, community elders and other organizations in rural villages. The great earthquakes and tsunamis that devastated Sumatra on December 26, 2004, Chile on February 27, 2010 and Japan on March 11, 2011 have heightened public concern about similar geologic hazards in our own country. As part of a nationwide effort to study earthquakes and the Earth's crust, the NSF EarthScope Program has been deploying hundreds of seismic, GPS, and other geophysical instruments across the United States. Recently deployed in Alaska, these instruments provide detail for ongoing research showing that coastal regions are storing energy that will be released in great earthquakes, with resulting tsunamis that may impact the entire west coast of the US and Hawaii. Thousands of Alaskan residents live within severe earthquake-shaking and tsunami-inundation zones, and millions of tourists visit state and federal parks in these same areas each year. Teachers in the K-12 school systems convey some basics about geological hazards to their students, and park rangers and museum educators likewise engage visitors at their sites. Both of these groups also at times work with emergency managers. ANGLE is strengthening these efforts by providing community-based workshops that bring together all of these professionals to review the basic science of earthquakes and tsunamis, learn about EarthScope and other research efforts that monitor the dynamic Earth in the region, and develop ways to collectively engage students and the general public on the mitigation of coastal geologic hazards.The ANGLE project is a collaborative effort among geoscience educators from Alaska Pacific University and Central Washington University with the Alaska Native Science and Engineering Program (ANSEP) at the University of Alaska Anchorage. From 2017-2020, four Educator Professional Development workshops and eight ANSEP academies for Alaska Native students will be conducted. Through these workshops and academies, ANGLE establishes a statewide network of stakeholders that includes students, teachers and Native Elders from rural Alaska Native villages, some of Alaska's most vulnerable communities. The emphasis on educators and Native students will ensure that a wide variety of learners will be reached, either directly or by later contact with ANGLE participants. A synthesis of existing EarthScope educational materials and methods, translated to an Alaskan setting, will form the core of the programming. Drawing from methods of previous EarthScope education projects, ANGLE will incorporate best practices including societal relevance of science, data collection and analysis, nature of science, learning community development, current science standards, and place-based and cultural knowledge. Participating educators will learn about ongoing research on Alaskan tectonics, earthquakes and tsunamis, and about how EarthScope is advancing frontiers of knowledge about geologic hazards in the region. Emergency management outreach leaders will contribute to discussions on emergency preparedness actions. Master teachers offer pedagogical guidance and ideas about assessment and interaction, while experienced interpreters discuss how to reach a variety of audiences in settings outside the classroom. In follow-up share-a-thons, the teachers and interpreters showcase how they have crafted their new knowledge into Earth science and emergency preparedness learning experiences for K-12 students and visitors to parks and museums. Ultimately thousands of learners in various settings will be reached. The final ANGLE-synthesized collection of EarthScope resources will be hosted on the well-known Science Education Resource Center website (5 million visitors/year) and reviewed by the National Association of Geoscience Teachers insuring high profile access to the resources for years to come.

阿拉斯加经历的地震和火山活动比其他任何美国州都要多，许多阿拉斯加社区异常遥远，在自然灾害期间有可能与支持隔离。阿拉斯加地球土著地球科学学习经验（Earthscope Angle）旨在通过教育和建立面向行动的全州学习社区来提高阿拉斯加对地球扎士的抵御能力，该社区将正式和非正式的教育工作者，紧急管理人员，科学家，学生，学生，社区，社区，社区老人和农村村庄的其他组织联系起来。 2004年12月26日，智利于2010年2月27日摧毁了苏门答腊的大地震和海啸，2011年3月11日日本对我们自己国家的类似地质危害的关注提高了公众的关注。作为研究地震和地球地壳的全国性努力的一部分，NSF Earthscope计划已经部署了美国各地数百种地震，GP和其他地球物理仪器。这些工具最近部署在阿拉斯加，为正在进行的研究提供了细节，表明沿海地区正在储存能量，这些能量将在大地震中释放，导致海啸可能会影响美国和夏威夷的整个西海岸。成千上万的阿拉斯加居民居住在严重的地震震撼和海啸中，每年在同一地区参观数百万的游客。 K-12学校系统中的老师向学生传达了一些有关地质危害的基础知识，而Park Rangers and Museum Educters也可以吸引游客在他们的网站上。这两个小组有时还与紧急情况经理合作。角度通过提供基于社区的研讨会来加强这些努力，这些研讨会将所有这些专业人员汇集在一起​​，以审查地震和海啸的基础科学，了解地球景观和其他研究努力，以监测该地区的动态地球，并开发出学生和普通公众在沿海地球范围内的缓解范围的学生和普通公众，与沿海地区的危害。阿拉斯加锚定大学的工程计划（ANSEP）。从2017 - 2020年开始，将举办四个教育专业发展研讨会和八个ANSEP学院，为阿拉斯加本地学生举办。通过这些研讨会和学院，Angle建立了一个全州利益相关者网络，其中包括来自阿拉斯加农村村庄的学生，老师和本地长老，这是阿拉斯加一些最脆弱的社区。对教育工作者和本地学生的重视将确保直接或以后与Angle参与者接触到各种各样的学习者。现有的Earthscope教育材料和方法的合成将构成编程的核心。从以前的Earthscope教育项目的方法中汲取灵感，Angle将结合最佳实践，包括科学的社会相关性，数据收集和分析，科学的性质，学习社区发展，当前的科学标准以及基于地点和文化知识。参与的教育者将了解有关阿拉斯加构造，地震和海啸的持续研究，以及地球景观如何发展有关该地区地质危害的知识前沿。紧急管理外展领导者将为有关紧急准备行动的讨论做出贡献。硕士教师提供有关评估和互动的教学指导和想法，而经验丰富的口译员则讨论了如何在课堂外面的环境中吸引各种受众。在后续股份中，老师和口译员展示了他们如何为K-12学生和公园和博物馆的访客制定新的知识，并为地球科学和紧急准备学习经验。最终，将在各种环境中成千上万的学习者。最终角度合成的Earthscope资源集合将在著名的科学教育中心网站（500万访问者/年）上托管，并由全国地球科学教师协会进行审查，以确保未来几年可在资源上获得备受瞩目的资源。
