Cyberinfrastructure Development for the Western Consortium of Idaho,
Nevada, and New Mexico
Funding provided by the National Science Foundation (EPS-0919123)
Collaboration Model
UNLV Leadership Teacher Participants
CyberlearningwithS&S
• Knowledge and experience teaching science to secondary students.• Interest and comfort with technology.•Commitment to HQ science teaching & learning• Willingness to experiment with cyberlearning.
• Resources• Support• Expertise• Commitment to supporting HQ science teaching & learning• Cyberlearning environment, R&D
Cyberlearning – The use of networked computing and communications technologies to support learning.
Cyberinfrastructure - the new research environments that support advanced data acquisition, data storage, data management, data integration, data mining, data visualization and other computing and information processing services over the Internet.
New and emerging science related to the ecological and hydrological impact of climate change on the
unique environmental systems located in the states of Idaho, Nevada, and New Mexico.
Meta-themes
• Remote Sensing• Supercomputing• Visualization• Data & Data Management
Computational Science - the application of computer simulation and other forms of computation to problems in various scientific disciplines.
