 REVEL (Research and Education: Volcanoes, Exploration and Life) Project
The essence of the REVEL Project is the interaction of highly-motivated science teachers hungry for opportunities to engage in science and innovative scientists pursuing cutting-edge research. The scope of this research encompasses a wide variety of scientific problems that range from the origin of life to new aspects of biotechnology.
For example, recent research indicates that in the presence of liquid water, volcanoes on the seafloor can sustain life-forms without sunlight. By inference, volcanoes on other planets may sustain similar life-forms. REVEL explores the relationship between different types of volcanoes and life, using this central concept to entrain teachers and their classes in today's scientific quest. Selected teachers participate in seagoing research expeditions as formal members of the scientific party thus providing those responsible for educating our children with the experience of active scientific inquiry.
 The Learning Center the Learning Center is a collaborative resource for educators and students interested in earth science and the environment. The goal of the Learning Center is to organize and deliver dynamic visualizations and information critical to understanding the complex processes of our environment. We hope to provide content, tools, and interfaces that will allow you to view, organize and experience a world of real time/real world data.
