  1. SEACOOS and Education Products and Processes

  2. Year One Accomplishments • FL COSEE, GOM COSEE and SouthEast COSEE work together! • US Commission on Ocean Policy (Chapter 8) supports COSEE and increased funding. • COSEE/NSF goal is to increase the interaction between science and education community. SEACOOS is a model. • IOOS, COOS and Education Workshop • Wave Poster Design • 12 SEPORT (SouthEast Portals to Ocean Research for Teachers)

  3. IOOS, COOS and Education A Workshop Sponsored by SouthEast COSEE, Ocean.us, SC Sea Grant Consortium and NOAA/Coastal Services Center Date: March 21-23, 2004 Location: NOAA/CSC, Charleston, SC Attendees: 63 people from COOS, COSEE, NOAA, NSF, NASA, DLESE, etc.

  4. Objectives • To initiate a network associated COOS/IOOS and the K-16 and informal education effort • To develop strategies/recommendations for integrating formal and informal education opportunities into IOOS operations • To identify exemplary website components of present and potential application for COOS/IOOS education efforts.

  5. Agenda Monday, March 22 • Presentation: Overview of IOOS Tom Malone, Ocean.us Using Observing System Data in Education • Presentation: Promise of Data Visualization in Education: Raj Chaudhury, Norfolk State University, VA • WEB-based Educational examples using real data • Presentation: Technology and Scientific Data in Education: Jean May-Brett, President, NMEA Tuesday, March 23 • IOOS Education Strategy Issues • Presentation: Developing Appropriate Technology: Annette deCharon, Bigelow Lab for Ocean Science • Defining IOOS, NOPP and ORAP for Ocean Science Education • Developing Recommendations and strategies for education and IOOS Wednesday, March 24 • Recommendations for Network and Workgroups

  6. Work Group Topics • Develop/articulate key messages and themes for IOOS/COOS education. • Issue of Current (NMEA) about Ocean Observing System education (Jan 2006) • Articulate and shape Workforce & Diversity Recommendations • HF Radar in education • Satellite Remote Sensing • Website "best practices" and Evaluation

  7. WAVE Poster-DRAFT

  8. South Atlantic Bight WAVE FACTS • Height and period of surface waves are strongly affected by the wide continental shelf--some 100-115 km (60-70 miles) off SC and GA. • Larger, longer period, open ocean waves “feel” the bottom well offshore in this region, reducing the wave energy before reaching shore. • Good surfing waves are found where ocean swell hits beaches at the edge of a narrow shelf -- Cape Hatteras, NC. • Winter storm winds--40-60 km/h (25-35 miles/h); duration of more than 24 hours; a fetch of 500-1000 km (300-600 miles)-- generate waves of a height of 5 m +(15 ft+) at mid-shelf locations (water depths of 25-30 m, or 80-100 feet) at 50 km ( 30 miles) offshore. The wave period of only 8-12 seconds creates steep-sided waves. • Hurricanes form large waves only if they travel slowly (longer duration winds over a given fetch).

  10. SouthEast Portals to Ocean Research for TeachersSEPORT

  11. SouthEast COSEE Program Highlight–SEPORT Ocean Sciences Education Leadership Institute leads to “South East Portal to Ocean Research for Teachers” 11 10 SEPORT SITES West GA University Fernbank Science Center MECA, Savannah Aviation Museum SC Museum NOAA/Hollings Lab ACE Basin NC Aquarium/Ft. Fisher East Carolina University NC Museum of Natural History Natural Science Center Discovery Place 9 12 8 5 1 2 During 2003-2004, 28 teachers from the Ocean Sciences Education Leadership Institute partnered with 12 SEPORT institutions to offer 6-hour Ocean Awareness Days. Objectives: • Provide leadership opportunities for teachers • Attract local teachers • Develop pathways to informal institutions for ocean science research and information • Initiate a regional infrastructure for distributing ocean education and build functional COSEE partnerships. 6 7 4 3 Institute Teachers Operate ROV Institute Teachers Teach Teachers in a SEPORT Funding Credit: NSF, NOAA and SEACOOS Design Credit: Patty Snow, SCSGC
