Al Trujillo, Professor in the Department of Earth, Space, and Aviation Sciences at Palomar College and co-Director of its Oceanography Program, is co-author or contributing author for several nationally recognized college-level Earth science textbooks. Al will join us for the week to facilitate discussions about how to incorporate the information provided during the institute into the community college classroom and will give a series of ~15 minute presentations about effective teaching methods for oceanography classes.
