Description
Summary:Our long-term goal is to provide a mechanism for translating current oceanographic research to a broad audience and enhance science and math instruction at the K-12 level. Specific objectives for this project include providing K-12 educators and their students real data in a useful format while at the same time helping oceanographers to study ocean currents, transport of heat, sediment, larvae, and pollutants, as well as to provide ground-truthing of remotely sensed optical data. Prepared in collaboration with the Atlantic Meteorological and Oceanographic Laboratory and the J. L. Scott Marine Education Center and Aquarium at the University of Southern Mississippi.
