To celebrate the June 2011 launch of the Aquarius/SAC-D satellite, COSEE-Ocean Systems conducted a workshop for K-12 educators at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). Day 1 of the workshop featured eminent NASA scientists who worked collaboratively with educators to examine connections between the water cycle, ocean circulation, climate and sea surface salinity. On Day 2, educators toured the JPL facility, attached scientist-vetted content (e.g., animations and images, news items) to online concept maps, and conducted "hands on" activities that supported the theme of the workshop: ocean-climate connections.
