Mojave 2011-2: April 17 - 22, 2011

• Nevada In-Service Teachers

Pre-Service and In-Service Teachers, and Undergraduate Science Majors interested in teaching K-12, studied side-by-side with world-renowned planetary scientists who search for life in extreme environments.

Why the Mojave – an inhospitable, parched, sun-drenched, spot in southern California? This natural setting presents scientists with opportunities to study environments that are analogous to what explorers will find on the Moon and Mars. Teachers, students and scientists perform scientific fieldwork in planetarygeology, astrobiology, geology, climate change, and issues of temperature and solar inundation and radiation.
