Research
Interests:
- Production
of oceanographic teaching materials for elementary, middle, and
high school students and teachers (example: OceanWorld)
- Improvement
of teaching of oceanography
- Large-scale,
low-frequency variability of ocean currents
Active
and Future Projects:
Funded
to provide teaching materials for K-12 teachers and students explaining
oceanic processes and the usefulness of satellite data for observing
the ocean. See our web pages.
