Gliders are 2 Cool!

01 Dec 2017

Underwater gliders used by scientists are the future of oceanic exploration. Follow the steps in this mini-unit to learn about data collected off the coast of Antarctica and how science and technology blend to collect data where humans cannot venture. Students will also engage in an engineering design challenge to assist scientists as they continue […]

Hang Ten on an Ice Flow

08 Jun 2017

Studying biological and physical processes in harsh or remote environments introduces very unique and unpredictable challenges for researchers. Dr. Victoria Hill runs into some of these obstacles while studying light and temperature in the Arctic as well as the effects caused by warming of the ocean. Students will develop a workable model to recreate and […]

Finding Buoy Engineering Challenge

08 Jun 2017

This project will introduce students to current research being conducted in the Arctic, through the work of Dr. Hill at Old Dominion University. The WARM research project aims to collect light intensity and temperature measurements under the Arctic ice pack to determine the link between light penetration and surface ocean warming. In this lesson students […]

About MBARI

Research programs at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) encompass the entire ocean, from the surface waters to the deep seafloor, and from the coastal zone to the open sea. The need to understand the ocean in all its complexity and variability drives MBARI's research and development efforts.
