COSEE-NOW Online Presentation: Antarctica Melting - A Story in Four Acts

COSEE NOW is pleased to present: Antarctica Melting: A Story in Four Acts, a four-part audio slideshow series on the fastest winter warming place on Earth, as seen through the eyes of three scientists. Produced by COSEE NOW's own Ari Daniel Shapiro, the slideshows provide a first hand look into the role that global climate change has had in transforming the Antarctic ecosystem.

Bridge DATA - Diatomaceous Sediments: Ooze Clues

Just as ocean beaches display a variety of sand types, the ocean floor has different sediment types. Sediments can come from land, living organisms, chemical reactions in the water column, and even outer space. When skeletal remains of microscopic organisms make up more than 30% of the sediment, it is called "ooze." In this activity, students will plot the distribution of various oozes using information from sediment maps.

The Bridge's own DATA Series is made up of lesson plans (DATA Tips) on many ocean science topics that explore the world of water using the language of science: mathematics. Learn more about the DATA Series.
