COSEE-OS engages audiences in free public webinars to help scientists and ocean science content reach broader audiences. Since 2010, we have pioneered several webinar models, and continue to test the application of webinars to different audiences. All that is needed to participate in a scheduled webinar is a phone and an internet connection. Participants can ask questions and participate, making the session both interactive and informative.
Everyone knows that the ocean is salty, but did you know that salt is essential to the recipe for our entire climate and life on Earth? View our three-part webinar series to find out how SPURS scientists seek to better understand ocean salinity, which affects everything from the water cycle to climate change. Each webinar features an interactive concept map loaded with educational resources that can serve as a starting point for you to "sprinkle" ocean salinity into your teaching. We also identify applicable Next Generation Science Standards (in development).
From "white-knuckle" plane flights to the soothing swirl of cream in your coffee, turbulence is an ever-present part of our daily lives. But how much do you know about it? Designed for physics, math and science educators, these webinars contain information on the physics of turbulence as well as its effect on life including:
Each webinar features an interactive concept map filled with resources for use in the classroom, including videos, images and other resources.
Dig deeper by watching this three part series to discover more about the mysterious organisms that lurk beneath the water-sediment interface, and why scientists believe their investigations into the physiology and behaviors of these benthic organisms can shed light on larger-scale ecosystem functioning. Great for biology, ecology, ocean science, marine science educators, these webinars contain content relating to benthic organisms, ecological impacts from human activities, as well as new technology and the latest research techniques. Each webinar features a scientist sharing their knowledge via an interactive concept map, filled with resources for use in the classroom, including time-lapse movies, lesson plans, images and inquiry-based data activities.
This dynamic webinar series features the research of scientists from the 2008 North Atlantic Bloom (NAB) Experiment and focuses on key concepts in ocean science. The five-part weekly series consists of presentations from NAB scientists, and tells the story of the North Atlantic spring bloom and its role in the ocean ecosystem. It describes the multi-faceted nature of this complex experiment and provides a rich body of educational resources, including linked concept maps aligned to National Science Education Standards, and datasets that can be translated into classroom activities.
"ROLE Model” webinars include a presentation by a research scientist who has developed a concept map specifically for the webinar on relevant science topics, cutting-edge research or specific interest areas, which includes a rich collection of multimedia assets. The first eight webinars also feature educators who share the unique and varied ways they have used concept mapping in their classroom, informal, or other learning environment. Unlike traditional slide-based presentations, these dynamic maps act as a resource that can be explored with an audience, instead of a one-way, linear presentation. The concept maps presented are loaded with educational assets from the our Ocean Climate Interactive (OCI) database - including images, videos, news items - that webinar participants can use in their own educational practices, presentations or for their own learning. The concept map or maps presented are freely available online, and instructions are provided to give participants access to the maps after the webinar. All resources, maps and other materials from the webinar are archived online.
June 2011 marked the launch of NASA's first space-based measurements of ocean salinity across the globe - an important observation for ocean and climate studies. From 650 kilometers (400 miles) above Earth's surface, Aquarius detects changes in ocean salinity as small as a "pinch" of salt in a gallon of water. NASA Aquarius works closely with COSEE-OS for its Education and Public Outreach (EPO) endeavors. These webinars cover the science, engineering and observations made by the satellite before and after launch, as well as methods used by educators to teach key oceanographic concepts using Aquarius concepts. Many Learning Pathways in the Ocean Sciences (MLPiOS) COSEE-OS in collaboration with the Institute for Broadening Participation and COSEE-Ocean Learning Communities presents this webinar series highlighting scientists making significant contributions in their fields as they reflect on their personal career pathways. The series acts as a forum for sharing successful strategies for increasing diversity in the ocean sciences community. The presenters talk about their science topics as well as their experiences as an under-represented minority in a science field, and/or their experience providing mentorship to under-represented minorities. These webinars are based on the successful ROLE Model webinars, but in this series, education researchers follow the scientist’s presentation. They share insights from the professional literature to emphasize how learners benefit from multiple support structures to strengthen and broaden their personal and intellectual development. The first two webinars in this series are designed for a target audience of new faculty, post-doctoral researchers and graduate students in ocean sciences and geosciences, but all are invited to join.
