School of Rock 2009: Cores, CORKS and Hydrology on the Juan de Fuca Ridge

Dates: 23 June - 5 July 2009

Location: Aboard the JOIDES Resolution from San Diego, CA to Victoria, British Columbia

Application Deadline: Wednesday, 4 February 2009; Limited Space Available

The 2009 School of Rock teacher research expedition is scheduled to begin Tuesday, 23 June, 2009 aboard the recently relaunched 143m JOIDES Resolution. School of Rock 2009 participants will be among the first to work and sail aboard the newly renovated ship.
During School of Rock research experiences, K-12, informal, and undergraduate educators will have daily opportunities to conduct hands-on analyses of sediment and hard-rock cores with scientists and technicians who specialize in IODP research. This year's workshop will focus on how cores and CORKS shed light on the hydrology, geology, and tectonics of the Juan de Fuca plate.
