What can a robotic surfboard tell us about the rapidly warming Antarctic? In this episode of GSO Ocean Classroom (Live!), join GSO’s Holly Morin and Ryan Newell of the University of Washington as they discuss the connections between the ocean, atmosphere and sea ice in the Southern Ocean. Using a Wave Glider—a wave-propelled autonomous surface vehicle—Newell and others at the University of Washington are measuring how heat and other properties move between the water and the air in some of the stormiest seas on the planet.
This live broadcast is intended for middle and high school students, but all ages will enjoy!
