Upcoming Events:
Cool Connections: Monitoring the North Atlantic’s Currents
Friday, August 28th from 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm Pacific Time
Join Educator Fellow Kathleen Fuller (Milwaukie High School) and Researcher Margaret Lindeman (Harvard University) live from the Labrador Sea where they are working as part of the OSNAP project, an international effort to study ocean circulation in the North Atlantic. Discover how scientists use underwater moorings and in situ water sampling to measure temperature, salinity, and ocean currents. Broadcasting live from the R/V Neil Armstrong, they will share insights into the movement of heat, freshwater, and dissolved oxygen through the North Atlantic and the connections between these processes and the global climate.
Please share this with your favorite educators, local library, science center, or community group—they might want to host a watch party!
