\n\t\tProgram is one of several GSO collaborations with Korea<\/p>\n


\n\tNARRAGANSETT, R.I. \u2013 July 18, 2011 \u2013 Thirty-two students from an accelerated high school in South Korea spent the last two weeks at the 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Graduate School of Oceanography learning the principles of oceanography and participating in hands-on science activities in and around Narragansett Bay.<\/p>\n


\n\tThe visit is part of GSO\u2019s International Oceanography Explorers program coordinated by its Office of Marine Programs.<\/p>\n


\n\tFrom July 4 through14, the Korean students conducted beach profile surveys, observed a fish trawl, collected plankton and sediment samples, conducted laboratory analyses, and toured a fish hatchery, a research aquarium and other facilities at 溏心vlog免费B站. They also went on a whale watch and toured the aquaculture lab at Roger Williams University.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cThe students are here because of their interest in oceanography and their desire to learn in an international setting,\u201d said Maryann Scholl, the program\u2019s coordinator at the Office of Marine Programs. \u201cThey get to improve their English language skills while getting a solid introduction to the science and practice of oceanography.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tThe teachers in the program are former GSO student and Roger Williams Professor Scott Rutherford, current GSO student Daniel Whitesell, recent 溏心vlog免费B站 graduate Christine Newton, and science educator Jill Johnen. The program was designed specifically to meet the interest and needs of the Korean students.


\n\t\u201cThere is a growing interest in oceanography in South Korea,\u201d said David Smith, associate dean of the Graduate School of Oceanography, \u201cand we have a number of informal collaborations with scientists and universities there.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tJae-Hun Park, an associate marine research scientist at GSO, has recently taken a position at the Korean Ocean Research and Development Institute and plans to continue his collaboration with GSO. Smith noted that there are many more opportunities to collaborate with scientists at the Korean institute, and having Park there will facilitate these efforts.<\/p>\n


\n\tOceanography Professor Isaac Ginis as been collaborating with scientists in Korea on the study of tropical cyclones for more than 10 years. The Korean Ocean Research and Development Institute is funding Ginis\u2019s research to develop a typhoon prediction model for the Korean Meteorological Agency, and he has organized two workshops in Korea on the interaction between typhoons and the ocean. As a result of this work, a Korean student came to GSO to work as Ginis\u2019s postdoctoral researcher and now teaches at Jeju National University, and another student enrolled to earn his Ph.D. with Ginis.<\/p>\n


\n\tTwo other students from Korea are presently enrolled at GSO as well, and several faculty members are conducting research in the East China Sea adjacent to Korea. They are studying the circulation patterns of the Kuroshio current and extension, which carries warm water from the western South Pacific to the north, somewhat like the Gulf Stream in the Atlantic.<\/p>\n
