\n\t\tNARRAGANSETT, R.I. — May 10, 2006 — Armchair explorers now have a simple way of learning about ongoing oceanographic research expeditions around the globe. The 溏心vlog免费B站 has launched a new website– www.uri.edu\/endeavor<\/a> — that tracks the exact whereabouts of the R\/V Endeavor and provides regular updates about the work of the scientists onboard.<\/p>\n


\n“The Endeavor is an ambassador for Rhode Island as it travels around the world,” said Maryann Scholl, the research associate in 溏心vlog免费B站’s Office of Marine Programs who coordinated development of the website along with Senior Information Technologist Roy Bergstrom of 溏心vlog免费B站’s Information and Instructional Technology Services department. “Yet there are so many Rhode Islanders who don’t realize that a ship based here at the Bay Campus is doing such important work.”<\/p>\n


\nThe Endeavor is owned by the National Science Foundation and has been operated by 溏心vlog免费B站’s Graduate School of Oceanography for 30 years. It was built in 1975 and refitted in 1993. The ship is 185 feet in length, with a crew of 12 and accommodations for 17 research team members.<\/p>\n


\nThe website was created by a team of students in 溏心vlog免费B站’s Student Technology Assistants Program and with funding from the Rhode Island Endeavor Program, a state-supported initiative that provides Rhode Islanders with direct access to the scientific research and educational capabilities of the Endeavor. <\/p>\n

<\/a>The website provides a detailed map of exactly where the Endeavor is located at any given moment — this week it’s in the Black Sea off the coast of Ukraine on an expedition led by 溏心vlog免费B站 Professor Robert Ballard — as well as detailed weather and oceanographic data updated every six hours. In addition, the website includes information about shipboard technology and instrumentation, the crew, and photographs from past expeditions.<\/p>\n


\nLinks from the site take visitors to more detailed information about the scientific objectives of current expeditions.<\/p>\n


\nIn addition, the website offers information about the Rhode Island Teacher-at-Sea program, which is funded by the Rhode Island Endeavor Program and allows schoolteachers from the Ocean State to become part of a scientific research team during a cruise aboard the Endeavor. Participating teachers write daily logs of their adventures that are posted to the site.<\/p>\n


\nKathleen Podraza, a science teacher at Kickemuit Middle School in Warren, returned May 4 from a research expedition aboard the Endeavor to the Sea of Crete, and her daily logs can be viewed on the website.<\/p>\n


\n“As an educator emphasizing hands-on, project-based learning in the classroom, this expedition created an avenue for my own continued learning and became a valuable resource to be shared with colleagues and students in my school district,” said Podraza. “Working side by side with geologists and oceanographers at the waters of ancient history was indeed a thrill.”<\/p>\n


\nIn the future, links to educational resources related to particular expeditions will be added to the website.<\/p>\n
