Coral Literature, Education & Outreach
(CLEO)
Welcome
to the Coral Literature, Education and Outreach (CLEO) Program!
 The
CLEO Program leverages techniques developed at NOAA/AOML under the Explorer
of the Seas1,
Coral
Health and Monitoring Program, and Integrated Coral Observing Network (ICON/CREWS)
programs, under which knowledge transfer of oceanographic instrumentation
and coral reef processes have been developed.
The Educational
Modules are being developed primarily for middle school
classes. Each module consists of three segments: background information
(science behind the instrument), classroom experiment (experiment to test
parameter instrument measures), and teacher's section (describes the Educational
Objectives / National Science Standards, Preliminary Activities/Demonstrations,
Suggestions for teaching the concept, and Follow-up or Extension Activities
for the class.) Students will be engaged to plot and manipulate the data,
and to witness events live on the Web via the ICON/CREWS
Coral Cam.
The goal of the Gray
Literature Document Recovery Project
part of the CLEO program is to accumulate pre-1990 gray literature in
digital (PDF) format to support education, research and management objectives
at all the areas where ICON/CREWS stations are being installed. (The
ICON/CREWS project is pursuing a U.S. Coral Reef Task Force goal of establishing
monitoring stations at all major
U.S. coral reef areas
by 2010.)
