Members of Carleton SERC Staff publish book

Monica Bruckner, Geoscience Assistant; Ellen Iverson, Evaluation Director; Cathy Manduca, Director of Science Education Resource Center (SERC); John McDaris, Geoscience Assistant; Kristin O’Connell, Evaluation/Education Specialist for SERC; and Cailin Huyck Orr, Associate Director of the Science Education Resource Center have written a new book published by Springer Nature as part of the Association of Environmental Studies and Sciences Book Series, Interdisciplinary Teaching About Earth and the Environment for a Sustainable Future. This book presents the outcomes of the InTeGrate project, led by SERC, which is a community effort funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to improve Earth literacy and build a workforce prepared to tackle environmental and resource issues. The chapters explicitly illustrate the intimate relationship between geoscience and sustainability that is often opaque to students. The chapter authors are faculty members, administrators, program directors, and researchers from institutions across the country who have collectively envisioned, implemented, and evaluated effective change in their classrooms, programs, institutions, and beyond.
