Meet Dr. Yoland Shea, Atmospheric Scientist at NASA Langley Research Center. Learn what inspired her as a child and how she became a NASA scientist!
Background information on sea level.
GLOBE protocols and learning activities that complement the El Niño Southern Oscillation phenomenon through hands-on investigations are detailed.
Background information on ocean circulation.
GLOBE protocols and learning activities that complement the Ocean Circulation Patterns phenomenon through hands-on investigations are detailed. These protocols can be used to build a basis for understanding the principles of salinity and water temperature which are drivers of the ocean circulation patterns.
In this activity, students will learn about sea ice and land ice. They will observe ice melting on a solid surface near a body of water and ice melting in a body of water.
In this mini-lesson, students analyze soil moisture quantities associated with Hurricane Harvey around Houston, Texas on August 25, 2017.
Students interpret a double bar/column chart comparing the number of tropical cyclones in different locations.
In this mini lesson, students use in-water profiles of historical ocean data to analyze how sea surface salinity varies with depth.
