- Title
Digging for Data: Mining geoscience databases to deepen and expand STEM learning opportunities.

- Abstract
After analyzing May 2017 ozone and air temperature data for the school's location, I asked each student to record and share three questions that could be explored by mining additional data from the EPA and NOAA databases. Thanks to the development and deployment of federally funded satellite-, buoy-, and aircraft-based remote sensing instruments, continuous streams of Earth and space data are publicly available via online databases. Sources of secondhand data include data collected by other students, as well as data that are too time-consuming, expensive, or dangerous for students to collect themselves (Magnusson et al. 2004).
