Real“Hands-On”Learning
Sea Going Oceanography Dr. Susanne Menden-Deuer (GSO)
Spring Semester/Spring Break 2015
• Pre-cruise organizational meetings during semester
• 1 week research cruise, students filled available berths – Followed offshore-onshore transect -
physical, biological, chemical and geological measurements
• Goal - REAL Oceanography
Students learned about: - the importance of chemical and
physical properties for oceanic ecosystems
- principle factors driving the oceanic ecosystem
- the influence of the ocean on humans and visa versa
NRS 475 - Coral Reef Conservation and Analysis
