| I would like to come into the classroom and present the following concept/activity: |
| Use of satellite data, model results, and shipboard data to elucidate the mechanisms and processes by which the oceans play a major role in the maintenance of global climate; mathematical techniques to use shipboard data to augment both models and satellite data to make consistent and geophysically correct interpretations of the environment. |
| |
| I can present this at a level appropriate for (choose one or more): |
| Grades 9-12 (ages 13-18) |
| |
| I would categorize this science as (choose one or more): |
Earth and Space Science
Chemistry or Physics |
| |
| relevant "learning standards" or "broad concepts": |
These studies are closely related to the marine carbon dioxide cycle.
Explains how the various wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum have many useful applications in remote sensing |
| |
| How much classroom time will your presentation/activity require?: |
| 30 - 45 mins |
