K-12 Education
At Duke and University of Georgia, high school students have been included in research. At Duke, a honors student from the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics is mentored by a Calhoun CZO PhD student, Anna Wade, over nearly one year. The student has already orally presented her work and will write it up as a senior thesis. The experience has deeply influenced her interests and future trajectory. At the University of Georgia, a high school student was hired to work in a soil physics lab and another worked with the environmental anthropology team as an intern helping with data organization and analysis. At Roanoke College, K-12 educators participated in four science pedagogy meetings at which our E&O PI gave a presentation about CZ and environmental science.
