Climate Literacy: Climate Education and Outreach Utilizing Ocean Observations Posters


Session ID#: 8858

Session Description:
Many education and public outreach (EPO) efforts focus on climate literacy, aimed at helping individuals and communities understand Earth’s climate and impacts of climate change. A principle of climate literacy is that the ocean exerts major control on climate by dominating Earth’s energy and water cycles. Key resources, then, for EPO efforts around climate education, are the available ocean climate data and products from platforms like the drifting buoy, Argo, satellites, and buoy arrays that provide fundamental observations that contribute towards climate understanding, predictions, and projections. Integrating these into climate EPO efforts can engage students and the public around innovative technology, communicate core principles of scientific observing, and underscore the importance of the global ocean to climate science and society. We invite presentations on all aspects of ocean climate communication, including formal and informal EPO activities that use ocean observations, and outreach efforts around ocean observing systems and scientific projects.
