Ocean Bites

OceanBites began as a sister site of AstroBites.org, and now is part of the Bites Sites family of science blog sites, with the common goal of sharing scientific information translated by experts. The specific goal of OceanBites is to make cutting edge research accessible to all by explaining exciting recent literature in all oceanographic and marine biology fields in a way that non-experts can understand. OceanBites also highlights classic research papers, shares features about what it's like to be a grad student in oceanography, and offers commentary about current issues and experiences in research.

Bridge DATA - Coral Bleaching: A White Hot Problem

Some of the planet's most diverse ecosystems are at risk. With temperatures on the rise, coral reefs are at greater risk for coral bleaching. In this DATA exercise, students assess coral bleaching using water temperature data from the NOAA National Data Buoy Center to discuss howit may have affected coral reefs and predict what may be on the horizon.

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.
