Day 2: BRAZILIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE INTERNATIONAL OCEAN DISCOVERY PROGRAM (IODP)
Leaders: Michael J Passow, Helenice Vital (UFRN), Miguel Borges (UFRN)
The second day of the workshop will provide opportunities to learn about many significant discoveries made through scientific ocean drilling, with special attention to Brazilian contributions. Scientists and educators who have participated in expeditions will describe working and living aboard the JOIDES Resolution. We will also share some of the classroom activities created by teachers and scientists to teach about cutting-edge findings.
