Understanding Oceanography: Mapping Currents with Curtis Ebbesmeyer

Learn methods to study and map ocean currents using flotsam, inspired by Ebbesmeyer's innovative approaches, utilize  as the source oceanographer Curtis Ebbesmeyer's philosophy, experiences and books

Welcome to Understanding Oceanography: Mapping Currents with Curtis Ebbesmeyer, an exciting and informative course that will take you on a journey through the vast and fascinating world of oceanography. This course is designed to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of ocean currents and how they impact our climate, weather patterns, and marine life.

Our course is led by the renowned oceanographer, Curtis Ebbesmeyer, who has made significant contributions to the study of oceanography. With a background in physics and fluid dynamics, Ebbesmeyer has dedicated his career to understanding the complex and often mysterious world of ocean currents. His innovative research methods, such as using flotsam and jetsam to track ocean currents, have shed new light on this field and provided valuable insights into ocean pollution and marine life patterns.

In this course, you will begin with an introduction to oceanography, where you will learn about the definition and history of this scientific field. We will then dive into the world of ocean currents, where you will discover their importance, how they affect climate and weather patterns, and their role in marine life migration and distribution. You will also learn about the science behind ocean currents, including the factors that influence them, such as temperature, salinity, and wind.

Next, we will explore Curtis Ebbesmeyer's groundbreaking work on mapping ocean currents. You will learn about his research methods, including his famous "rubber duck" experiment, where he tracked the movement of bath toys that were lost at sea. Through this experiment, Ebbesmeyer was able to gain valuable insights into ocean currents and how they disperse debris across the ocean. You will also learn about his development of the OSCURS (Ocean Surface Currents Simulation) computer model, which has helped scientists better understand ocean currents and marine life patterns.

Throughout the course, you will have the opportunity to participate in activities related to Ebbesmeyer's work, such as conducting a "message in a bottle" experiment to understand how currents work. You will also have access to an interactive online game that simulates tracking debris in the ocean.

In the final section of the course, we will discuss the importance of continuing research on ocean currents and how students can pursue a career in oceanography. We will also encourage students to respect and protect our oceans from pollution. By the end of this course, you will have a deeper understanding of oceanography and the vital role that ocean currents play in our world.
