Extractions: The IFP was created in 1944 for the purpose of developing a high level of technical, economic and management skills in the fields of petroleum and energy. IFP trains about 500 graduate students per year in a variety of petroleum-related fields. IFP students are selected among candidates from leading worldwide engineering schools and universities; fifty countries were represented in 1999. The joint TAMU/IFP program, formally called Reservoir Geoscience and Engineering, prepares reservoir geoscientists with a good working knowledge of petroleum geosciences and engineering for efficient collaboration on interdisciplinary teams. The Geology-Geophysics alliance with IFP began about two years ago when IFP representatives visited the TAMU Petroleum Engineering Department and invited Dr. Wayne Ahr to discuss potential collaborative programs in Geosciences. Dr. Luc Ikelle recently became involved and helped develop the current program. TAMU has a formal Memorandum of Agreement for collaborative teaching and research with IFP.

Extractions: electronic discussion lists for the UK higher education and research community. However for those of you new to academia or the wonders of electronic communication we have compiled a list of discussion groups that should be of some relevance to geographers. Mailbase discussion lists allow you to talk with other academics via electronic mail, to collaborate on projects, announce conferences, arrange meetings, or just keep in touch with colleagues in your subject area. Once established they work by someone sending an email message to the list which is then sent to all list members. They are very simple to use, all you need is email. The administration of the list is carried out by the list owner (who will also be able to provide more information about the remit of the list) and supported by the mailbase service which is located at the University of Newcastle. You can find out more about Mailbase at www.mailbase.ac.uk/docs/ . It is worth noting that some of the lists appear to have similar remits, a brief glance through the list archives should help you to determine which list will be of most relevance to you. List archives can be accessed via: www.mailbase.ac.uk/lists.html. This page provides a search device, type in any of the list names below and you will have access to information about the list and its archives.

Extractions: Water and Environmental Geochemistry Research Unit (WEGRU) Introduction WEGRU is a focus group within the School of Natural Resource Sciences that brings together researchers with interests in studies of water processes and chemistry, the various influences on quality, and the environmental aspect of sediments and soils. Most of this research is from a geoscientific approach, but the unit maintains interactive links with other disciplines within our own and other schools at QUT. Supervised WEGRU Projects Links and Collaborations WEGRU members work closely with a number of state government departments, in particular the groundwater and surface water sections of Department of Natural Resources (DNR), and Department of Primary Industries (DPI-Forestry). There are a number of ongoing collaborative projects with DNR and DPI that also incorporate local government. We also work cooperatively with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Although the research activities are state-wide, there is currently a focus of studies in the populous southeast of the state. Due to our geographic location, we also put emphasis on the local sub-tropical climate and its influence on natural processes. Our projects also extend into tropical Queensland and the arid west of the state, as well as the wide range of settings of the Queensland coastal zone. Activies and Aims There are several main aims: establish a focus on this area of research, that enables real interaction and communication between individual researchers
ACADEMIC DEPARTMENT PROFILE: chemistry, physics and biology, encourages collaborative efforts in In addition thegeology provides an appropriate research and teaching activities are given http://geology.uvm.edu/geodept/geoadmin/collab.html
Extractions: Collaborative and Interdisciplinary Efforts: The very nature of geology, integrating fundamental principles from chemistry, physics and biology, encourages collaborative efforts in both teaching and research. In addition the geology provides an appropriate venue for interdisciplinary efforts with other non-science programs. Examples of interdisciplinary research and teaching activities are given below. Research: Lini, Bierman and Drake have all been involved in significant interdisciplinary research activities. Lini routinely collaborates with faculty in SNR, Plant and Soil Sciences (CALS) and the state (Vt. DEC) on lakes and pond research. He has been actively involved with the development of the Rubenstein Ecosystem Science Laboratory. Bierman has a joint appointment in SNR where he has supervised 4 MS candidates and 2 Ph.D. candidates. In addition he has worked extensively with an interdisciplinary group preparing an EPSCoR proposal in Environmental Science, as well as being involved with the College of Engineering groundwater program. Drake has participated in interdisciplinary Lake Champlain Management Conference research projects with faculty from CALS, SNR and the sate (Vt. DEC). Wright has been a consistent contributor to the Field Naturalist Program, both supervising FN research projects and participating in the field evaluations of FN candidates. Teaching
IGCP Project 454 MEDICAL GEOLOGY methods distinguishing anthropogenic effects from natural effects caused by geology. Regularlyreviewing results of the collaborative activities of the project http://home.swipnet.se/medicalgeology/igcp_project_454_medical_geology.htm
Extractions: IGCP project 454 MEDICAL GEOLOGY UNESCO and IUGS The International Geological Correlation Programme (IGCP) is a co-operative enterprise of UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation) and IUGS (International Union of Geological Sciences). It was launched in 1972, to facilitate geological co-operation across international borders, as geological processes and structures normally cut across such boundaries. The programme's major aim was to bring together scientists from East and West and to encourage the involvement of developing countries. IGCP is interdisciplinary, covering all specialities of the Earth Sciences and establishing links with other UNESCO scientific programmes. It maintains active interfaces with disciplines related to these such as marine, atmospheric and biological sciences. Its purpose is to promote the wise use of the Earth as a human habitat and as a source of natural resources. IGCP operates world-wide with several thousand of scientists in about 150 countries. Reflecting the contemporary needs of society, the four main objectives of IGCP are as follows:
Recommendations For Curriculum Developers Here are the five classrooms in which Visualizing Earth geology activities weredeveloped and implemented by the collaborative team of K12 and university http://visualizingearth.ucsd.edu/recommends/forcurrdev.html
Extractions: Collaborative Curriculum Development Five different classrooms served as "testing grounds" for the San Diego Visualizing Earth activities. In each of the classrooms, a different version of collaboration between university researchers and K-12 teachers emerged during the curriculum development and implementation. The collaborations differed in the roles played by the key participants, but in all cases, these collaborations were organized differently than more traditional models of curricular change. Traditionally, curricular activities are created by individual teachers in their classrooms, but dissemination of these innovations outside of that particular classroom is often limited. In another common model, new curricular activities are developed by professional curriculum writers who provide the fully developed programs to teachers who ideally receive inservice training prior to implementation. The emerging collaborations in the San Diego curriculum implementation and evaluation activities allowed us to examine new models of curriculum development and identify the factors that affect their organization. In one version of collaboration that emerged, the elementary and middle school teachers chose the instructional content and provided general science instruction, while university personnel served as "guest lecturers" in specific lessons that used visualizations as the focus of the learning. In the second model of collaboration, middle/high school teachers worked with university staff to develop geology activities using high resolution images which the teachers implemented in their own classrooms. And in the third version, university personnel provided technical and assessment support for middle and high school teachers who not only implemented but also led the developed of visualization activities in their science lessons.
