Cal-Echoes
Exploring California's Ecological Changes and Historical Origins
September 25 – October 3, 2010
Science and Education
Cal-Echoes was a Scripps Institutition of Oceanography student-led cruise that combined science at sea with science in the classroom. Twenty-five scientists and ten educators traveled aboard the R/V Melville for nine days along the coast of Southern California. We are now continuing to research the present-day marine and coastal ecosystems and how they have changed over the past 15,000 years (from the last glacial period).
During the cruise, our research experiences at sea and in the lab were shared through our blog directly with middle and high school classrooms in San Diego and the Midwest and also the general public.
We invite you to join our journey and explore the possibilities of science at sea!
