Teacher / Researcher Collaborative
A Climate Education focussed Community of Practice that leverages Understanding Global Change
About
The Teacher / Researcher Collaborative (TRC) is an Understanding Global Chance anchored Community of Practice. TRCs are held monthly as hybrid events to connect with researchers at UC San Diego to learn about the latest research in science, engineering, and education. These events are focussed on supporting Climate Education through sharing learning and resources with Understanding Global Change.
​
Each Teacher / Researcher Collaborative meeting begins with a research presentation on a climate-based phenomenon. Teams of teachers then work collaboratively with the researcher to plan out how to integrate what they learn into instructional practices with students.​
Upcoming TRC Events
Beyond 70℉ and Sunny:
What Local Weather Stations Can Teach Us About Local Microclimates
Alexander Weyant
SoCal Heat Hub, Scripps Oceanography
Learn how data from a network of weather stations can directly teach us about local microclimates and weather phenomena. See how data from weather stations at local schools and in neighborhoods can engage your students with meteorological and climate phenomena from Grades 3 through 12. Connect with other teachers and share learning with Understanding Global Change.

Mapping Interactions Between
Heat, Plants, and Water
Morgan Levy
SoCal Heat Hub, Scripps Oceanography
Zhuohan Fang
SoCal Heat Hub, Scripps Oceanography
Learn about and help guide the design of a new interactive map that shows relationships between temperature, plants, and water at high resolution anywhere in the Western United States. In this workshop, UCSD researchers will discuss how map data is used in research on urban heat, greening, and water sustainability, and guide participants in the use of the map to investigate their own local heat-plant-water relationships.
