SUMMARY:Ocean Sciences Meeting 2018
DESCRIPTION:Members of the OOI Program Management Office\, Data Team\, and Marine Implementing Organizations will be present at the upcoming 2018 Ocean Sciences Meeting in Portland\, Oregon Feb. 11-16\, 2018. \nThe OOI will have a booth in the Exhibit Hall. Additionally members of the OOI Team will have presentations and posters. \nAdditionally\, there will be a special session on Ocean Observatory Science chaired by members of the OOI as well as other observatories. \nOcean Observatory Science – From Events to Climate (Session ID#: 27547):\nWe invite presentations that highlight and demonstrate all aspects of ocean observatory science. Observatories include cabled systems (e.g. ONC\, OOI RCA\, MVCO\, LoVe\, DONET)\, long-term time series (e.g. HOTS\, BATS\, ESTOC)\, coastal mooring arrays (e.g. the OOI Endurance and Pioneer Arrays)\, High Frequency Radar installations\, and remote ocean sensing arrays (e.g. Argo and the OOI Global Arrays). Observatory data now include both decade long time series and broad regional spatial coverage\, support interdisciplinary studies\, and enable scientific investigations of marine processes\, event detection\, and climate assessment. We particularly encourage new and innovative research approaches and results that utilize or are only possible using ocean observatory systems. Other emphases include novel uses of high data rate sources\, installations at unique sites (i.e. undersea volcanoes)\, continuous long-term time series\, new insights into rapid environmental change\, merging fixed and mobile observing systems\, and observations of recent events such as the North Pacific warm anomaly\, Harmful Algal Blooms\, hypoxia\, and the eruption of Axial Seamount.   \nThis session will be chaired by Richard Dewey\, Ocean Networks Canada\, Jack Barth\, Oregon State University\, Deb Kelley\, University of Washington\, and John Trowbridge\, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. \nNote that Abstract submissions for this session is open until September 6\, 2017. Please visit the OSM18 event page to submit and abstract. \nCheck back for updates as the conference approaches.

SUMMARY:Chemistry OOI Data Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Utilizing high volumes of data for research and education increases both opportunities and challenges to analyzing and synthesizing these data into scientific understanding. We are pleased to offer two workshops that explore the unprecedented opportunities to engage undergraduate learners in authentic data experiences using real-world data sets\, models\, and simulations from the OOI. \nThis workshop will focus on OOI data sets that explore salinity\, pH\, and PCO2. \nWe will dive deeper into aspects that underlie ocean acidification and the impacts of climate change on the ocean by investigating data of changes in oceanic pH with depth and comparisons of oceanic pH with air and water pCO2. We will also unpack numerous aspects of what we can learn from the ocean when looking at temporal and spatial variability in salinity. Through the data\, we will investigate seasonal and depth variations overall and properties of the halocline. In addition\, we will use the data to illuminate processes that change salinity throughout the surface ocean. \nFor more information and to register\, please check out the workshop announcement.

SUMMARY:Members of OOI Team To Participate at Fall AGU Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Members of the Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) program will participate in the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting this month with a variety of sessions\, videos and information sharing opportunities. \nThe AGU Fall Meeting is the largest worldwide conference in the geophysical sciences\, attracting nearly 20\,000 Earth and space scientists\, educators\, students and policy makers. AGU will take place from Dec. 9-13 in San Francisco. For more information visit the AGU Fall 2013 website. \nPresentations will be offered at AGU by the University of Washington’s Regional Scales Nodes (RSN) team on some of their recent OOI work. In addition to the various RSN presentations listed below\, the team’s work will be highlighted in their video\, “Down To The Volcano\,” featured in the AGU Cinema. “Down To The Volcano” explores an underwater volcano with UW OOI scientists as they use the ROPOS ROV deployed from the Research Vessel Thompson to venture down to the bottom of the ocean during the Visions ’11 expedition. The video also displays high definition footage of fresh lava flows from the April 2011 eruption of Axial Seamount. Click here to read more about that video. \nAlso at AGU\, Scripps Institution of Oceanography will provide opportunities for viewing and playing its D.E.E.P. video game at the Scripps exhibit area. The D.E.E.P. educational video game allows players to experience the deep ocean and do things such as using sonar to detect animals\, fish and ocean bottom features. A recent beta version of the game allowed players to navigate ocean observatory nodes.  For further details and a status update of the game\, check out their presentation (details below). \nA Consortium for Ocean Leadership booth (booth #111) will also be located in the main exhibit hall. \nAdditional OOI related Activities and presentations are as follows: \nTITLE: Down to the Volcano \nDATE/TIME: Screenings throughout the meeting\, with other science films. \nLOCATION: Unknown at this time \nSESSION: AGU Cinema: Short Films on Science \nSynopsis: Down to the Volcano\, a co-production of the University of Washington’s School of Oceanography and UWTV\, will be among the short films on science screened as part of the AGU Cinema at the AGU 2013 Fall Meeting. Down to the Volcano tells the story of Ocean Observatories Initiative engineers and scientists from the University of Washington as they plan and construct the OOI regional cabled network at Axial Volcano\, one of the program’s main study sites in the northeast Pacific Ocean. \nTITLE: Seawater bicarbonate removal during hydrothermal circulation \nDATE/TIME/LOCATION:  Monday\, December 9\, 10:35 – 10:50 AM; 2000 Moscone West \nSESSION TYPE: Presentation \nSESSION TITLE: B12B. Carbon Transformations in Hydrothermal Systems I \nAUTHORS: Giora K Proskurowski1\, Jeffrey Seewald2\, Sean P Sylva2\, Eoghan Reeves3\, Marvin D Lilley1 \nINSTITUTIONS: 1. School of Oceanography\, University of Washington\, Seattle\, WA\, United States. 2. Marine Chemsitry and Geochemistry\, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution\, Woods Hole\, MA\, United States. 3. MARUM\, University of Bremen\, Bremen\, Germany. \nABSTRACT: High temperature fluids sampled at hydrothermal vents represent a complex alteration product of water-rock reactions on a multi-component mixture of source fluids. Sources to high-temperature hydrothermal samples include the “original” seawater present in the recharge limb of circulation\, magmatically influenced fluids added at depth as well as any seawater entrained during sampling. High-temperature hydrothermal fluids are typically enriched in magmatic volatiles\, with CO2 the dominant species\, characterized by concentrations of 10’s-100’s of mmol/kg (1\, 2). Typically\, the high concentration of CO2 relative to background seawater bicarbonate concentrations (~2.3 mmol/kg) obscures a full analysis of the fate of seawater bicarbonate during high-temperature hydrothermal circulation. Here we present data from a suite of samples collected over the past 15 years from high-temperature hydrothermal vents at 9N\, Endeavour\, Lau Basin\, and the MAR that have endmember CO2 concentrations less than 10 mmol/kg. Using stable and radiocarbon isotope measurements these samples provide a unique opportunity to examine the balance between “original” seawater bicarbonate and CO2 added from magmatic sources. Multiple lines of evidence from multiple hydrothermal settings consistently points to the removal of ~80% of the “original” 2.3 mmol/kg seawater bicarbonate. Assuming that this removal occurs in the low-temperature\, “recharge” limb of hydrothermal circulation\, this removal process is widely occurring and has important contributions to the global carbon cycle over geologic time. \nTITLE:  Educational Videogames: Concept\, Design And Evaluation \nDATE/TIME/LOCATION:  Monday\, December 9\, 1:40 – 3:40 PM; 300 Moscone South \nSESSION TYPE: Presentation \nSESSION TITLE: ED13H. Games\, Interactive Simulations\, and Virtual Labs for Science Teaching and Learning I [SWIRL_CM] \nAUTHORS:  Daniel Rohrlick; Alan Yang; Deborah L. Kilb; Logan Ma; Roxanne Ruzic; Cheryl L. Peach; Charina C. Layman \nINSTITUTIONS:  1. Scripps Institution of Oceanography\, San Diego\, CA\, United States. 2. Ruzic Consulting\, Inc.\, San Diego\, CA\, United States. 3. Birch Aquarium at Scripps\, La Jolla\, CA\, United States. \nABSTRACT:  Videogames have historically gained popularity thanks to their entertainment rather than their educational value. This may be due\, in part\, to the fact that many educational videogames present academic concepts in dry\, quiz-like ways\, without the visual experiences\, interactivity\, and excitement of non-educational games. The increasing availability of tools that allow designers to easily create rich experiences for players now makes it simpler than ever for educational game designers to generate the visual experiences\, interactivity\, and excitement that gamers have grown to expect. Based on data from our work\, when designed effectively\, educational games can engage players\, teach concepts\, and tear down the stereotype of the stuffy\, boring educational game. \nOur team has been experimenting with different ways to present scientific and mathematical concepts to middle and high school students through engaging\, interactive games. When designing a gameplay concept\, we focus on what we want the player to learn and experience as well as how to maintain a learning environment that is fun and engaging. Techniques that we have found successful include the use of a series of fast-paced “minigames\,” and the use of a “simulator” learning method that allows a player to learn by completing objectives similar to those completed by today’s scientists. \nFormative evaluations of our games over the past year have revealed both design strengths and weaknesses. Based on findings from a systematic evaluation of game play with diverse groups\, with data collected through in-person observations of game play\, knowledge assessments\, focus groups\, interviews with players\, and computer tracking of students’ game play behavior\, we have found that players are uniformly enthusiastic about the educational tools. At the same time\, we find there is more work to be done to make our tools fully intuitive\, and to effectively present complex mathematical and scientific concepts to learners from a wide range of backgrounds. Overall we find that designing educational games is a constant balancing act to ensure the player is engaged and has fun while at the same time learning important concepts. \nTITLE: The Cabled Component of NSF’s Ocean Observatories Initiative: A Distributed\, Multi-Sensor\, Interactive Telepresence Within Ever-Shifting Marine Ecosystems \nDATE/TIME/LOCATION: Wednesday\, December 11\, 1:40 – 6:00 PM; Hall A-C Moscone South \nSESSION TYPE: Poster \nSESSION TITLE: OS33B. Ocean Sciences General Contributions \nPOSTER #: OS33B-1779 \nAUTHORS: John R Delaney1\, Deborah S Kelley1\, Giora K Proskurowski1\, Orest E Kawka1\, Allison Fundis2\, Michael Mulvihill1\, Gary Harkins3\, Michael Harrington3\, Chuck McGuire3\, Dana Manalang3\, Russell Light3\, Andy Stewart3\, Ben Brand3 \nINSTITUTIONS: 1. School of Oceanography\, University of Washington\, Seattle\, WA\, United States. 2. Ocean Exploration Trust\, Old Lyme\, CT\, United States. 3. Applied Physics Laboratory\, University of Washington\, Seattle\, WA\, United States. \nABSTRACT: Since mid-year 2011\, NSF’s Ocean Observatories Initiative has made considerable progress in installing its cabled seafloor and water-column component off the Washington-Oregon Coast. The Primary Infrastructure is nearly operational and includes ~900 km of high-power (10 kV) and bandwidth (10 Gbs) submarine electro-optical cable and 7 seafloor power- and communications switching stations (nodes) in a two-cable network spanning tectonically active zones across the Juan de Fuca Plate\, with access to the overlying ocean. The system is connected to a shore-landing in Pacific City\, Oregon\, with a dual-path terrestrial backhaul to Portland where connections to major continent-wide\, high-speed networks link via the Internet to the undersea system. During summer 2013 the VISIONS’13 expedition\, using the R/V Thompson and the remotely operated vehicle (ROV) ROPOS\, placed a number of secondary infrastructure elements on the seafloor\, ready to be connected to the Primary Nodes when the system is fully tested and accepted by the Consortium for Ocean Leadership. Secondary infrastructure installed using the ROV ROPOS includes over 23\,000 meters of extension cables\, which comprise twelve electro-optical and electrical cables that provide links from the Primary Nodes to experimental sites and instrument clusters. Smaller nodes (junction boxes) were also deployed\, with three installed on the seafloor. All cables and junction boxes were fully tested\, which included powering up and communicating through the nodes and sensors using the ROV ROPOS as a power-communication source\, and live data transmission of the resultant engineering and science data to the ship located 3000-1500m above the seafloor. Locations include sites near the base of the continental slope and on Axial Seamount\, the most magmatically active volcano on the Juan de Fuca Ridge. Real-time data streamed from instruments connected to extension cables at Axial Volcano via ROPOS revealed a significant local earthquake on the volcano\, and a minor signal showing direct tidal measurements from 300 miles offshore. Sensors to be installed and connected in 2014 will provide seismic information\, current velocities\, inflation and deflation measurements of the volcanic caldera\, high-definition video on demand\, digital-still imagery\, chemical data from methane seeps and vent sites using mass spectrometers\, and an array of thermistors in a low-temperature vent field. Six instrumented full water-column moorings with two different types of profilers will be installed and connected to the cable in 2014.\nhttp://interactiveoceans.washington.edu/story/VISIONS+13 \nTITLE: Virtual Investigations of an Active Deep Sea Volcano \nDATE/TIME/LOCATION: Thursday\, December 12\, 9:15 – 9:30 AM; 104 Moscone South \nSESSION TYPE: Presentation \nSESSION TITLE: PA41A. Scientists Must Film! Using Video to Enhance and Expand Science\, and Science Communication I (Virtual Option) \nAUTHORS: Leslie Sautter1\, M. Montgomery Taylor1\, Allison Fundis3\, Deborah S Kelley2\, Mitchell Elend2 \nINSTITUTIONS: 1. Geology and Environmental Geosciences\, College of Charleston\, Charleston\, SC\, United States. 2. School of Oceanography\, University of Washington\, Seattle\, WA\, United States. 3. Ocean Exploration Trust\, Narragansett\, RI\, United States. \nABSTRACT: Axial Seamount\, located on the Juan de Fuca spreading ridge 300 miles off the Oregon coast\, is an active volcano whose summit caldera lies 1500 m beneath the sea surface. Ongoing construction of the Regional Scale Nodes (RSN) cabled observatory by the University of Washington (funded by the NSF Ocean Observatories Initiative) has allowed for exploration of recent lava flows and active hydrothermal vents using HD video mounted on the ROVs\, ROPOS and JASON II. College level oceanography/marine geology online laboratory exercises referred to as Online Concept Modules (OCMs) have been created using video and video frame-captured mosaics to promote skill development for characterizing and quantifying deep sea environments. Students proceed at their own pace through a sequence of short movies with which they (a) gain background knowledge\, (b) learn skills to identify and classify features or biota within a targeted environment\, (c) practice these skills\, and (d) use their knowledge and skills to make interpretations regarding the environment. Part (d) serves as the necessary assessment component of the laboratory exercise. Two Axial Seamount-focused OCMs will be presented: 1) Lava Flow Characterization: Identifying a Suitable Cable Route\, and 2) Assessing Hydrothermal Vent Communities: Comparisons Among Multiple Sulfide Chimneys.

SUMMARY:EPE Integrates Users with the OOI at Workshop
DESCRIPTION:(Click to enlarge) The On the Cutting Edge project helps geoscience faculty stay up-to-date with both geoscience research and teaching methods. The workshop series and website combine to provide professional development opportunities\, resources\, and opportunities for faculty to interact on-line and in person with colleagues around the world who are focused on improving their teaching. (Photo Credit Scott Glenn) \nThe Ocean Observatory Initiative (OOI) Education and Public Engagement (EPE) implementing organization lead several sessions to connect with potential OOI users at the “Teaching Oceanography” workshop held in San Francisco\, CA last month. \nThe “Teaching Oceanography” workshop was designed specifically for instructors of undergraduate Introductory Oceanography.  The workshop was offered through the National Association of Geoscience Teachers\, funded by NSF\, and in partnership with InTeGrate – Interdisciplinary Teaching of Geoscience for a Sustainable Future. \nAt the workshop\, Scott Glenn\, Rutgers Principal Investigator for the EPE Implementing Organization and Janice McDonnell (marine educator and project staff for EPE) were able to interact with potential users of the OOI through workshops\, presentations\, and working groups. \nThe OOI EPE team\, led by Rutgers\, is building a suite of software interfaces and web-based tools that will allow educators to bring ocean data and information into their learning environments. Rutgers\, in leading the development of educational capabilities for the OOI\, will leverage the OOI cyberinfrastructure capabilities by constructing a series of software and web-based social networking tools to engage a wide range of users. \nGlenn and McDonnell hosted a 2-hour workshop session about OOI Lab builders\, specifically the ocean acidification and hurricane units.  During this session\, 20 community college professors were able to explore the Lesson Lab Builder (LLB)\, one of the many undergraduate focused learning tools being developed by the OOI EPE.  With this particular tool\, undergraduate professors can design laboratories and problem-based activities using archived and real time OOI data. Two prototype lessons – ocean acidification and hurricanes – were demonstrated using the LLB software. \n(Click to enlarge) Workshop participants divided into brainstorming groups focused on developing real time data lesson applications using EPE tools in the undergraduate classroom. (Photo Credit Scott Glenn) \nIn a special session entitled “Resources for Our Next Steps\,” Glenn presented an overview of EPE tools to all workshop participants. Click here to download his presentation “The Ocean is Our Classroom.” \nGlenn and McDonnell were also able to engage the entire workshop in a discussion through a working group.  The 2-hour development/brainstorming session focused on how community college professors can participate in developing lessons for the LLB. \n“We learned so much from having the opportunity to work with these talented community college professors\,” says McDonnell.  “We look forward to a long and productive working relationship with the InTeGrate program”. \nThe OOI\, a project funded by the National Science Foundation\, is managed and coordinated by the OOI Program Office at the Consortium for Ocean Leadership\, in Washington\, D.C.\, and is responsible for construction and initial operations of the OOI network.  Five major Implementing Organizations are responsible for construction and development of the overall program. Of these\, Rutgers\, The State University of New Jersey\, is providing the education and public engagement software infrastructure. \nClick here for more information on the OOI Education and Public Engagement.  Please continue to visit the OOI Website for updates and other program news and events. \n(Click to enlarge) Glenn and McDonnell participate in the workshop Share Fair\, demonstrating the EPE data visualization tools.
