Sharing the sun-earth connection

Abstract

Abstract Sharing the Sun-Earth Connection-the effects of our active Sun on geospace and beyond-is the primary goal of NASA's Sun-Earth Connection Education Forum (SECEF). SECEF is one of twelve national centers of space science education and public outreach (EPO) funded by NASA's Office of Space Science. SECEF is a partnership between NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center and UC Berkeley Space Sciences Laboratory. We coordinate individual education and public outreach efforts from NASA Sun-earth Connection missions and research programs, facilitating scientist involvement. SECEF develops products and sponsors programs in partnership with the pre-college and informal education communities that maximize the impact of individual efforts. We will show several examples of high-visibility products and programs for broad audiences that adapt and highlight Sun-Earth Connection data, research results, and scientist involvement.
