Expeditions

Plankton Dynamics & Carbon Cycling Cruise
(Sept. 2005)

Global Repeat Hydrography Cruise
(Jan. 2005)

Stratus Ocean Reference Station Cruise
(Dec. 2004)

Major research expeditions in physical oceanography aboard the R/V Roger Revelle, such as the three cruises listed at the left, will be followed by the students in Debra Brice's 8th grade science classes at San Marcos Middle School in San Marcos, California to study.

Research scientists on these expeditions will provide ongoing support to the students by explaining their work and answering students' questions about their research projects and their jobs through video interviews with the scientists, live at-sea, two-way broadcasts to demonstrate their work, email communication, classroom visits and presentations by scientists, tours of research vessels, and following the activities of their teacher, Mrs. Brice, as she participates in selected expeditions as a teacher-at-sea.
