Workshop Description:

 

This workshop will explore the latest technology and methods used to study
the basis of the entire marine food web, phytoplankton. These microscopic
organisms barely seen with the naked eye support all life in the ocean and
are important to global climate. Utilizing light, carbon dioxide, and
nutrients, these organisms dictate such significant marine cycles as the
feeding habits of million dollar fisheries to the diet of endangered
migrating whales.

 

These four days will bring together educators and scientists to discuss,
plan and generate new ways of incorporating real-time and archived ocean
observation data using an inquiry based model while still meeting the state
or national standards needed for your district.

 

Participants will be selected through an application process. Applications
are due March 26, 2004 and are available at
http://www.cooa.unh.edu/workshop.html. Educators will be notified by April,

26 2004 as to their acceptance. The workshop hosts will cover the living
expenses of accepted participants.
