Interactive versions of the visualizations will also be disseminated via the AMNH website. Visualization assets will be distributed to NOAA for utilization on climate.gov and Science on a Sphere. The creation of training programs and educational materials for informal education professionals will enhance the experience and efficacy of the data visualizations as tools to understand and build stewardship of Earth systems.","Institute for Learning Innovation, Museum of Science and Industry (MSI) Chicago, New York University (NYU), NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory (ESRL), NOAA National Weather Service (NWS) / Climate Prediction Center, NOAA Research, NOAA Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory, NYU Center for Advanced Digital Applications" "Global, Local, Coastal: Preparing The Next Generation for A Changing Planet","Groundwork Hudson Valley","2015: ELG for Community Resilience to Extreme Weather Events and Environmental Changes",2015,NA15SEC0080004,"$468,428","Ellen Theg","New York",Yonkers,Westchester,NY16,"40.93619, -73.90406","2015-09-01T00:00:00 - 2019-06-30T00:00:00","This project, “Global, Local, Coastal: Preparing the Next Generation for A Changing Planet,"" was led by Groundwork Hudson Valley in partnership with Sarah Lawrence College's Center for the Urban River, to integrate and expand the work of three award-winning environmental education centers in Yonkers, NY – The Science Barge, Ecohouse and the Center for the Urban River (CURB). Its primary objective was to prepare low-income students for the impact of a changing climate so that they can participate both personally and professionally in a world in which these issues are increasingly prevalent. It reached an audience that is not well served by traditional programs and is most vulnerable to the consequences of climate change. Over the course of two years, the project served 544 high school youth from the Yonkers public school system through a new, integrated curriculum that presented these issues from multiple perspectives in an experiential learning format. Beyond its impact on students, the project has had a broader impact on people in our region who have visited the Science Barge, Ecohouse and CURB, which together receive close to 10,000 people each year. The new exhibits have reinforced key themes related to resiliency and adaptation and staff have integrated these concepts into their public tours. Beyond our region, the project has further impacted STEM educators across the country with access to the newly created ""Global, Local, Coastal"" curriculum and web application which is posted on Groundwork's website and accessible without charge. Other partners included NOAA’s Hudson River National Estuarine Research Reserve, the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, and Center for Climate Risk in the Urban Northeast (CCRUN), and Yonkers Public Schools. The project has been carried out in a community that has been severely affected by extreme weather in the last decade, including three hurricanes. Outcomes have helped to create “an informed society to anticipate and respond to climate and its impacts” and served to support NOAA’s goal of a developing a “Weather-Ready Nation” and “Resilient Coastal Communities and Economies.”","Columbia University / Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory / Earth Institute, Sarah Lawrence College / Center for the Urban River at Beczak (CURB), International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI), Consortium for Climate Risk in the Urban Northeast (CCRUN), National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR) Hudson River, NYS Office of Storm Recovery (GOSR), Yonkers Public Schools / Charles E.
