West Chester, Pennsylvania

Welcome to the beginning of this exciting journey with Stetson Middle School science teacher, Susan Carty.  Susan embarked on the adventure of a lifetime, and we know that you will enjoy following this great experience.  Susan was our Teacher At Sea participating in the research experiment ACE-Asia with scientist from all over the world from March 14th to May 5th.

Let's start our journey where the real story begins ...West Chester, PA.

Susan is currently a science teacher at Stetson Middle School and has been teaching in the West Chester School District since 1986.  Since Susan started teaching science, she has always dreamed of doing research on a NOAA research Vessel.  We were delighted to be able to help her reach this dream and ecstatic that Susan was willing to participate in this event.

Susan provided us with daily logs of her adventure onboard the NOAA Research Vessel Ron Brown.  She sent us pictures, videos, stories, and even a "live" transmission from the ship.  You can easily follow her journey by using the map.
