This month marks the mid-way point of COSEE NOW’s 5-year NSF project and we’re happy to announce the launch of our new web site. Find out about all the great new features our new social collaboration portal provides that will enable you to band together with fellow scientists and educators.
COSEE NOW is pleased to present a new webinar series on Using Ocean Data in Education. In this series, we will explore effective strategies for incorporating real ocean data in formal and informal education products and programs, as a way to connect students to scientific concepts and real-time science. This session is especially designed for […]
Just after daybreak this morning, the scientists and crew aboard the Investigador spotted the Scarlet Knight Glider bobbing up and down on the surface of the ocean off the coast of Spain. After over 220 days at sea, the glider’s mission has been accomplished.
Join us for a free webinar series to facilitate the design and development of a climate and environmental change curriculum and program for the Jersey Roots, Global Reach Sustainable Communities Project (SCP).

With the expected change in average ocean temperatures due to global climate change, many commercially and recreationally important fish populations will move in response. As a result, the distributions of some species’ populations will shift, either expanding or contracting due to physiological stressors. In this activity a human-sized board game will generally demonstrate how changes […]
The Scarlet Knight Glider has been in the ocean for over 128 days and continues it quest to cross the Atlantic. As the new school year starts, here’s a brief update on the Glider’s progress to help get your classrooms caught up.
At this year’s NMEA conference, COSEE NOW team members presented a number of presentations spanning the range from ocean literacy activities in the K-12 classroom to an extensive review of scientists opinions on education and outreach
COSEE Networked Ocean World (NOW) and Virginia Sea Grant are pleased to announce our first online web seminars on ocean science education. Please tune in on May 20th to learn more about The Bridge resource center, and on May 28th for an Ocean Observing Systems Primer. Register to participate for either or both sessions on […]
Looking for a cool way to get your students involved in ocean exploration? This spring, classrooms can submit a letter and become part of a historic mission to cross the Atlantic with a robotic underwater glider.
Ocean observatories are not just watching the ocean; they’re also being used to monitor the impact of humans in urban estuaries like the Hudson River. In this video, produced by Liberty Science Center, Drs. Scott Glenn and Oscar Schofield describe how observing technologies are being used to research what happens where the Hudson River flows […]
