Adopt vs Mine Risk Education

Adopt-A-Float allows users to access trajectory metadata and state-of-health parameters of the EarthScope-Oceans MERMAID fleet. MERMAID, short for Mobile Earthquake Recording in Marine Areas by Independent Divers, is a long-lived drifting autonomous float equipped with a hydrophone capable of recording acoustic waveforms generated by distant earthquakes. Most earthquakes occur at or near plate boundaries, yet most seismic monitoring stations are on dry land. Deployed but not recovered, telemetering data in near-real-time, MERMAIDs are uniquely positioned as a low-cost alternative for geophysical and environmental oceanic data collection. Diving down to a typical parking depth of 1500 m below the ocean surface, they passively drift with the ocean currents, recording the ambient acoustic wavefield, identifying earthquake signals, and surfacing to report those, on average every 4-7 days with the current settings, which are expected to give them a five-year life span. When at the surface, MERMAID collects GPS location and time information and communicates with the IRIDIUM satellite constellation using RUDICS. Using this iOS app you can: View the current location of all MERMAID instruments View their most recent trajectories and obtain information about ocean depth View instrumental metadata such as battery level and instrument pressure readings Identify the instruments by name and by operating institution Developed by Tenzing Sherpa ©2021 by Frederik J Simons (www.frederik.net) Let us know what you think!

MERMAID was designed by scientists and engineers and is now built by OSEAN SAS (www.osean.fr), from which it is commercially available. EarthScope-Oceans (www.earthscopeoceans.org) is an organization founded by a multidisciplinary group of geoscientists who are coordinating efforts to create a global network of sensors that monitor the Earth from within the oceanic environment. As other organizations are doing for the land-based seismological communities today, EarthScope-Oceans shepherds national projects into the international arena where globally relevant, applicable, and mutually agreed-upon decisions can be made on instrument development, science objectives, data management, and outreach.

Educational game teach people who live in danger zone all about mine risk and how to prevent injury from unexploded ordinances/landmines. HOW This game is designed focus on inspirational learning, skill-building, attractive contents to our young audience will bring user to an unique learning experience. Teaching people prevention from mine risk means teaching them to live! SUBJECTS 1.Characteristics of mine 2.Risky behaviors leading to mine/UXO accidents 3.Ways to avoid mine accidents 4.Consequences of mine accidents 5. Signs of mine areas HIGHLIGHTS 1.The content of this Mine Risk Education has been evaluated by safety specialists and reference to Catholic Relief Services Organization. 2.Experience danger in the comfort of your own world but play through the game in real-life settings. 3.With 6 lessons including lectures and exams. 4.This game is designed for class with Fun interactions and easy to operate . ABOUT CRS With a key focus on inclusive education, CRS is a recognized leader in the sector. With a 10 -year long USAID funded project that ended in 2015 For more than a decade, CRS has worked to reduce the risk of injury and death from unexploded ordinances/landmines (UXO/LM) in high-risk communities in Quang Tri, Quang Binh and Quang Nam provinces. CRS has developed a mine risk education curriculum for grades 1-5, now endorsed and widely used by the three provincial Departments of Education and Training (DOETs). CRS also has developed a Mine Risk Education Integration Guide and trained 156,482 children, 10,654 primary teachers, 2,437 future primary teachers, 18 lecturers, and approximately 79,000 parents and community members on mine risk. In addition, through the MRE Plus for primary and secondary school children project in the period of 2016-2020, CRS, in collaboration with DOETs and Teacher Training Colleges in four provinces, aims to help children in the most UXO/LM contaminated areas to be able to protect themselves from UXO/LM accidents. An estimated 397,567 children aged 6-14 and 34,707 teachers will benefit from the project. CONTACT US: https://www.crs.org
