Education & Outreach
The Ridge 2000 Education & Outreach Program provides scientists with opportunities to bring the excitement of mid-ocean ridge research and the earth sciences to diverse audiences through formal and informal learning experiences. Whether you have a strong interest in sharing your research, or are simply seeking new avenues to address the NSF 'Broader Impacts' Criterion II, we can match your skills and interests to existing projects, or help to design a new one.
Visit each of the current Ridge 2000 Education & Outreach opportunities below to see how they can support your research proposals:
- Distinguished Lecturer Series
- From Local to EXtreme Environments (FLEXE) Project
- VentureDeepOcean website
- Ridge 2000 Image Bank
