Bring researchers into your classroom and give students a window into the process of scientific inquiry. Join us for an informal chat with researchers whose field work directly impacts community members in California, Maine, and Ohio. Find out who they are, how they got interested in their research, and the scientific questions they are asking. Instructor Guide and Event Resources available.
This event features work on:
- biomimicry: how tree roots inform design of building foundations & coastal infrastructure at University of Akron Field Station in Ohio
- science-industry partnerships to evaluate scallop populations in response to climate change at Hurricane Island Center for Science and Leadership in Maine
- providing real-time data on fire, flood, and drought hazards at Pepperwood Preserve in Sonoma county, California
“Live from the Field” events are 50-minute events where researchers with three field sites describe their interests and research in 8-minute videos, then participants join a live moderated Q&A session with the researchers. Events are recorded for asynchronous instructional use, and available to all at thevirtualfield.org/virtual-visits/live-from-the-field
