hi Scott, Two resources you might find helpful for locating faculty members teaching Earth System Science courses: 1. A list of urls for a few ESS courses: http://serc.carleton.edu/introgeo/earthsystem/nutshell/courses.html 2. Our course syllabi/goals database, which you can search by topic: http://serc.carleton.edu/teachearth/search.html?q1=sercvocabs__74%3A4 When I typed "earth systems" into the textbox to search, I got 317 hits; I suspect that not all of these are what you're looking for, but at least the first couple of dozen are. (That's as far as I browsed.) cheers, Carol On May 1, 2009, at 1:38 PM, Scott Clark wrote: > Hello everyone, > > Julie Libarkin and I are looking for some help with a new proposal > that we are submitting to the NSF CCLI program.
