Teacher on board the deep sea vessel Pourquoi pas ? for SUPER MOUV campaign off the coast of Ecuador

As a biology and geology teacher, I have followed virtually, with some of my students, the HIPER campaign off the coast of Ecuador in 2022-2023, and from the 28^th of january 2024 to the 23^rd of february 2024, I have the honnor to take part in the SUPER MOUV campaign on the french oceanographic ship Pourquoi pas ? in Ecuador.

The scientists left me an additional place on one of the most innovative ship in the Ifremer fleet, in order to spread geology tools use on board in destination to teachers and their students in college and highschool, not only in France but also all over the world in the french schools abroad or the french classes abroad : http://edumed.unice.fr/data-center/oceano/supermouv.php

During this campaign, the aim is to prepare some challenges connected to SUPER MOUV activities for schools :

- students can indeed discover geodynamic in Ecuador west coast which is located in the ring of fire, and shaken by several earthquakes due to the subduction of Nazca tectonic plate under south-america tectonic plate,

- they can also discover how rocks or fluids are collected by Nautile submarine, how sediments are collected by coring, how highligths geo-mechanical properties of rocks or methods for fluids analysis,…

- and furthermore, they can learn about life on board a deep sea vessel (way of life, different jobs,..) during videoconferencings between the ship and the pupils in their classrooms !
