\n\t\tKINGSTON, R.I., Jan. 26, 2016\u2014What do state-of-the-art underwater cameras, science education in elementary schools and rising sea levels at coastal parks have in common?<\/p>\n

They’re all topics that students and faculty at the 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Graduate School of Oceanography will discuss at an upcoming meeting of oceanographers from around the world.<\/p>\n


\nScientists will present their research at the 2016 Ocean Sciences Meeting in New Orleans, from Feb. 24 to 26\u2014a conference held once every two years that is expected to attract 4,000 participants.<\/p>\n


\nThe event is important for two reasons: Faculty and students have a chance to share their work with their colleagues, and students get an opportunity to make contacts for post-doctoral research or other employment after graduation.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cIn addition to learning about the latest research, the Ocean Sciences Meeting provides a great opportunity to talk with our peers at other oceanographic institutions and to program managers regarding trends in funding, as well as a chance to reestablish connections with our alumni,\u201d says Bruce Corliss, dean of GSO.<\/p>\n


\nThe topics reflect the range and depth of research at 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Narragansett Bay campus: studies of ocean temperature; computer models of climate change in the Arctic; the effect of carbon dioxide on plankton; waves and hurricane intensity; and more.<\/p>\n


\nThis year\u2019s presenters include students from GSO\u2019s much-heralded summer program for undergraduates, a graduate student from Iran, faculty members looking at science education in the public schools, and a new faculty member studying winter temperatures in Europe.<\/p>\n


\n* Dwight Coleman, director of the Inner Space Center, will talk about the importance of bringing live broadcasts of the voyages of 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s research vessel, \u201cEndeavor,\u201d to the public, and Associate Director Gail Scowcroft, who has led marine science and climate change education programs at GSO since the 1990s, will focus on ways to improve ocean science education at elementary and high schools.<\/p>\n


\n* Chris Roman, an associate professor of oceanography, will talk about an instrument he\u2019s created that enables him to measure the ocean\u2019s temperature and salt content at much higher spatial resolutions.<\/p>\n


\n* Arash Bigdeli, a doctoral student from Iran who recently earned his master\u2019s from GSO, will deliver a presentation about his work in the Arctic on gas exchange between the ocean and the atmosphere, and the role ice plays in the process. <\/p>\n


\n* Graduate student Brennan Phillips will report about the state-of-the art ultra-low light microscopy cameras he uses to observe the deep, dark regions of oceans.<\/p>\n


\n* How sea surface temperature in the North Atlantic influences winter temperatures in Europe over time will be explored by oceanographer Jamie Palter, who joined the GSO faculty this fall from McGill University.<\/p>\n


\nTwo young scientists who attended the GSO\u2019s 10-week summer program for undergraduates will also present papers: Joshua Port will report on the effect of waves on hurricane intensity, and Nicole Statler will explain how she calculated average tide levels at the coastal parks during full and new moons, when the tides are higher than average. <\/p>\n


\nStatler studied Boston Harbor Islands Recreation Area; Dateway National Recreation Area in New York and New Jersey; Assateague Island National Seashore in Maryland and Virginia; and Fire Island National Seashore in New York, where she did field work.<\/p>\n


\nThe study will help scientists measure tide levels at the parks and the influence of possible flooding on birds and other habitat in marshes, says Amanda Babson, an oceanographer with the National Park Service, which is on the Bay campus. Babson helped with the research.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cThe summer program was a great experience,\u201d says Statler. \u201cIt was one of the best summers I\u2019ve ever had. Getting that research experience was so important to me, and getting the chance to present my work just blows me away.\u201d<\/p>\n


\nThe Ocean Sciences Meeting is sponsored by the American Geophysical Union, the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography, and the Oceanography Society.<\/p>\n


\n\tSessions for the scientists, engineers, educators, policy makers and students involve all areas of oceanography, as well as presentations about new and emerging research, including science education, science outreach and public policy.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cThis is the premier meeting of the oceanography community in the country,\u201d says David Smith, associate dean of GSO. \u201cIt gives our students a chance to showcase what they\u2019re working on, and also helps them plan their next career step.\u201d<\/p>\n


\nCorliss will host a reception Feb. 22 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Hilton Garden Inn New Orleans Convention Center in the Magnolia\/Camellia rooms for GSO friends, GSO alumni and GSO faculty, students, researchers and staff attending the conference.<\/p>\n
