SUMMARY:Advancing climate science education\, inquiry\, and literacy a
 cross rural Wisconsin communities\, Chaos & Complex Systems Seminar\, 
 Michael Notaro and Rosalyn Pertzborn\, Nelson Institute Center for Cli
 matic Research and UW Space Science and Engineering Center
DESCRIPTION:Our project\, recently funded by the Baldwin Wisconsin Ide
 a Endowment\, aims to inspire scientific\, placed-based inquiry and ad
 vance climate science education and literacy across the economically d
 isadvantaged rural communities of Wisconsin.  The collaborative team s
 ynergistically unites the climate change expertise of the UW-Madison N
 elson Institute Center for Climatic Research\, science education exper
 ience of the UW-Madison Atmospheric\, Earth\, and Space Outreach Progr
 am of the Space Science and Engineering Center\, and local environment
 al sustainability focus and extensive volunteer network of the Wiscons
 in Ice Age Trail Alliance.  We aim to (1) expand understanding of envi
 ronmental issues by facilitating accessibility to climate researchers\
 ; (2) incorporate data collection within the Global Learning and Oppor
 tunities to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) program for comparison of 
 climate phenomena and local environmental impacts\; (3) provide teache
 r/citizen scientist training for GLOBE protocol application at schools
 \; and (4) provide authentic K-12 research experiences by developing G
 LOBE special measurement protocols in collaboration with climate scien
 tists to facilitate effective community climate change adaptation.  Da
 ta collection focuses on a north-south transect of schools along the W
 isconsin Ice Age Trail through the sharp climatic and ecological gradi
 ents of the Curtis tension zone.  Environmental data collection and an
 alysis will support evidence-based scientific understanding of climate
  change risks for guiding community decisions on adaptation.
