Details Published: 20 April 2021
Researchers at Old Dominion University hope to use plastic buoys in the Arctic Ocean to help teach Hampton Roads students about climate change.
The battery-powered buoys collect information about water temperature and ocean currents. Using that data, scientists can draw conclusions about sea level rise.
Petros Katsioloudis, an ODU education professor, is creating a curriculum that will involve students in the information collection process. The goal is for them to see in real-time how climate change causes ocean temperatures to warm and seas to rise.
