  1. Observational PO student seminar, winter quarter 2013

  2. Observational PO student seminar, winter quarter 2013 Themes to choose from: 1) new observational PO methods recently published2) recent progress in PO satellite remote sensing (mass, altimetry, salinity, wind)3) recent observational results in the California Current coastal system    (including applications to biogeochemistry/ecosystem)4) recent examples of boundary current observations

  4. Format: - student chooses article from the list provided - each student meets with me once to discuss the article and plans for the presentation - student presentations about the chosen article- followed by open discussion. Goal 1: practice reading research articles with a critical mind  student starts the discussion by presenting her/his opinion about the paper Goal 2: practice presentation skills  constructive suggestions by the audience after each presentation

  5. Things to pay attention to for an effective talk, ideas…. : • stay on time (practise !) • Know your audience • Visible figures • Not too much information • Keep focus on topic • Summary and conclusions • Speak to audience, look at them • Speak freely

  6. More things to pay attention to for an effective talk, ideas…. : • Assure logical order, story that is easy to follow • Consciously choose content, words, figures – each must have a purpose,each is very precious • Balance “too much” vs. “too boring” • Balance basic vs. advanced material • Be clear about conclusions, relevance, utility, novelty, etc of results shown • Keep the attention of the audience, make them curious • Graphics must be readable and self-explanatory
