This unit from the Integrated Coordinated Science Unit Challanges explores how students can use their knowledge of chemistry to test the safety of rainwater that flows off our college campuses and streets into the ocean. The hands-on exercise uses the “5 E’s Learning Cycle: Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate” and is correlated to California Science Content Standards, California Environmental Education Principles and Ocean Literacy Standards.

Together educators and ocean scientists have developed and teach a university course entitled Communicating Ocean Sciences that is now being taught in several institutions of higher education nationwide. The course is designed for undergraduate and graduate science students interested in improving their ability to communicate about complex science concepts. This paper focuses on the content, outcomes, and potential of the Communicating Ocean Sciences course.

Since 2004 COSEE NOW has conducted an annual online scientist survey to gather data on the education involvement, practices and needs of scientists at current and future ocean observing systems. Their goal is to improve the exchange of data and teaching practices between scientists and educators. This report offers answers to: What do scientists think about coastal sciences education & outreach? Are they engaged? And, in what ways are they contributing?

The Rutgers University Coastal Ocean Observation Lab (RU COOL) has been flying gliders for almost 4 years. On March 13, 2007 RU COOL reached a major milestone, launching the 100th glider mission from the coast of Massachusetts, off the UMass-Dartmouth vessel Lucky Lady. This mission will take the glider (RU 100) from the coast of Massachusetts to the continental shelf, where it will zig-zag it’s way down to New Jersey, before swimming to shore - a distance of over 500km.
RU 100 carries an onboard bio-optics package to measure biological activity and sediment in the ocean, which will provide a huge amount of information on how biological productivity in the ocean might affect physical processes over such a large region. Along the way it will also meet up with a research ship, assisting in the study of Atlantic fisheries. The 100th Glider Mission website contains real-time data, example research questions for students, references, and a blog.

Eutrophication is becoming an increasing problem in many coastal regions of the world ocean. It is the process in which high nutrient run-off from land can lead to low-oxygen water environments. But it’s not a very easy concept to understand, as there are several steps in the process. The Rutgers University Cool Classroom design team developed this interactive to help students learn about the stages of eutrophication.

Rutgers University Coastal Ocean Observation Lab (RU COOL) deployed a remotely-controlled underwater robotic glider off the coast of Antarctica to test its capabilities in the harsh environment of the Southern Ocean. Robotic gliders swim up-and-down through the top 300 feet of the ocean for over a month at a time, collecting data on temperature, salinity, chlorophyll and more as they “glide” through the water.
RU COOL now has a fleet of over a dozen gliders that have been flown off the coasts of Hawaii, California, Liverpool, Florida, and New Jersey, as well as in the Mediterranean Sea. This website provides real-time data, example questions for students, and a list of relevant resources on the Antarctica glider that you can incorporate into your lessons on climate (and climate change), icebergs, biomes, and marine biology.
