Earth Science Component for Academic Professional Enhancement (ESCAPE)
The Earth Science Component for Academic and Professional Enhancement (ESCAPE) addresses the professional development needs of upper elementary, middle and high school science teachers in Wisconsin and neighboring states by offering an online Earth system science course in conjunction with the GETWISE project. This program investigates deforestation, volcanoes, hurricanes and ice shelf disintegration. GETWISE currently features two lecture series, one in Earth system science and another focusing on the solar system.
Two graduate credits are available through the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences upon successful completion of the ESCAPE course.
