Alternative Paths to a Technical Career
No full textThe ATETV project delivers web-based videos to connect students to careers in advanced technology. In this episode of ATETV, dual enrollment, changing careers and GIS technology are discussed. Many community colleges offer dual enrollment programs: high school students can receive college credit while still attending high school. Students who participate in dual enrollment programs are more likely to graduate high school, enroll in college and obtain a degree. Community colleges are also perfect for adults looking to change careers. Returning to school provides adults with training in new technology such as GIS. The episode can be watched in full or through the three segments: "Dual Enrollment Programs," "Forging a New Career in Architectural Technology, and "A GIS Program Helps Students Find Their Way." Running time for the full episode is 7:30
USGS Pacific Coral Reefs Website
No full textThis gateway provides access to United States Geological Survey (USGS) studies of coral reefs in the Pacific Ocean, especially in the Hawaiian Islands where efforts are are focused on mapping, monitoring, remote sensing, sediment transport studies, and collection of tide, wave, and current data from remote stations. Materials include basic facts about coral reefs, an overview of the risks and threats to reefs, news items, and links to publications and other related organizations. Separate pages describe the individual projects, including mapping of the reefs, efforts to monitor changes on the reefs (the Coral Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program (CRAMP)), and studies of sedimentation and sediment transport. There is also an interactive map showing the locations of the study areas
