Mission to Planet Earth (MTPE) is an integrated, sustainable environmental education program that focuses on the concept of Earth system science which integrates fields like meteorology, oceanography, atmospheric science, geology, and biology. The program has the following objectives: training the next generation of scientists to use an interdisciplinary approach, continuing to educate educators as research evolves and capabilities change, raising the awareness of policymakers and citizens to enable informed decision making, improving science and math literacy, and improving the linkage between scientists and educators. This publication provides information about agency-wide MTPE education resources and programs conducted at pre-college through postdoctoral levels. The catalog is divided into the following sections: Introduction, Student Programs, Teacher Enhancement and Curriculum Support, Educational Technology, and Resources.
