In an effort to increase the visibility of the National COSEE Network within target audiences, the National COSEE Office is working to establish an organized COSEE presence at various national science and education society conferences and meetings including:

  • Ocean Scientists - American Geophysical Union (AGU) and Ocean Sciences (AGU, ASLO, TOS)
  • Diversity (Students Underrepresented/Underserved in STEM Disciplines) - Society for Advancing Chicanos and Native Americans in Sciences (SACNAS)
  • Science Education - National Science Teachers Association (NSTA)

Posters and other conference presentation materials are displayed here.

Real-time data play an important role in science education by adding relevance to the learning experience, by enabling self-discovery and inquiry, and by providing opportunity for dialogue between students and researchers. Over the past decade, profiling floats (such as Argo) have proven to be excellent platforms for deployment of biogeochemical sensors.

In 2010-2011 we completed a rigorous field campaign to examine the impact of upwelled Modified Circumpolar Deep Water on the Ross Sea ecosystem. Fully integrated with this science plan was a comprehensive education program designed to introduce new audiences to the experience of Antarctic research and the AUV technology used.

New participatory courses in Marine Sciences are now a central component of the Rutgers undergraduate Marine Science curriculum. The courses use new datasets enabled by ocean observatories, in particular, the interactive exploratory capabilities of underwater gliders. The overall program is designed to increase repeated contact with students similar to the graduate experience.

The Controlled, Agile, and Novel Observing Network (CANON) team at MBARI is creating new ways to remotely assess biological ocean conditions and collect samples of microorganisms. This presentation covers the high level requirements, architecture, implementation overview and lessons learned in the CANON experiments.

Despite legislative initiatives to bolster Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) education, U.S. students, particularly those from the Gulf Coast, and their Mexican counterparts, continue to perform poorly on international assessments. To address the need for enhanced STEM education, the Gulf of Mexico Coastal Ocean Observing System Regional Association (GCOOS-RA) is working with its data partners to develop the skills needed to understand and appreciate the science and technology required to manage the living resources of the Gulf of Mexico, make informed voting decisions, power the future work force, and compete in a global economy.

The Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) will reshape the way ocean science is conducted. Recent advances in the delivery of web-based education, and use of visualization technology and data visualization tools in educational contexts, have led to the development of on-line platforms for instruction that engages students in active scientific inquiry by collecting and analyzing data of real world phenomena.

The Marine Advanced Technology Education (MATE) Center and COSEE NOW are using ocean drifters to teach college students about the interrelationship of ocean processes and understand how oceanography relies on technology to observe and measure the state of the oceans.

The Aquarius mission is brimming with educational content that hits all four areas of STEM: science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The design and engineering of the satellite, the science of ocean observing, the technical specifications for the mission and the importance of understanding global processes through data can all be illustrated using Aquarius as an example.

In this poster, NASA’s education and outreach team illustrates their multi-pronged approach to creating educational products and opportunities for educators to utilize information and data about Aquarius.

The OAO (Oceanographic Autonomous Observations) team operates automatic platforms such as gliders and profiling floats and is also strongly implicated in the technological development of their "new generation" in terms of scientific payloads. The acquired multi-sensor data, particularly focusing on marine biogeochemically-relevant data (e.g. oxygen, nitrate, chlorophyll-­a, amount of light penetrating the Ocean) together with temperature and salinity, then serve within the wide fields of fundamental research and operational applications. Within this framework and making use of the exceptional characteristics of such autonomous platforms (e.g. multidisciplinary real-­time data in high resolution, possibility for sub-­regional to global perspectives), the OAO team also seeks to contribute the more and more towards educational and outreach activities. On a local/and international basis, thus several activities are proposed and the development of attractive outreach approaches is undertaken.

Process studies employing autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) off central California have advanced the scientific understanding of harmful algal blooms (HABs), as well as the educational resources to explain them. These process studies gathered multidisciplinary observations from AUVs, moorings, ships, aircraft, and satellites. Moored systems included autonomous robotic biochemistry systems for in situ detection of HAB species and toxins.

Integrating the knowledge gained from a series of process studies, we developed a visualization of processes that influence bloom ecology in Monterey Bay, California. This visualization, rendered to static and dynamic content, emphasizes how HAB ecology is profoundly influenced by processes that originate at the boundaries of coastal marine ecosystems. In its dynamic form, the illustration is presented in language that is accessible to resource managers and the general public.
