eFieldwork with Scientists

Earth scientists go into the field to study geological structures and to sample rocks for further analyses. They visit interesting and remote places all around the globe, on the continents, but also on the oceans. The ERESE website follows these expeditions online by dedicating a special web page. These eFieldwork pages are maintained live and allow you to follow the science team in all aspects of their field campaigns. Your class room can iChat and have video conferences with the scientists in the field. They also can download reports, video footage and lots of images.

Examples:
ALIA Expedition around the Samoan Hotspot (April 2005)
Hawaiian Volcanoes Field Trip (September 2005)
GOLF182 Antarctica Expedition (Currently Underway)

We like to know in what ways you would like to participate with your class room? How can we make these eFieldwork pages a better resource for you?
