Website Update
MBARI is in the process of launching a new website. If there is a specific activity you
are searching for and can’t find, please let us know and we will be happy to provide you
with a direct link.
What is EARTH?
EARTH uses near-real-time data from ocean observatories to design and test outreach
with the Internet as an interface to scientists, teachers, students, and the public. Click
here for more information on the EARTH program.
The application deadline for 2016 has passed, but the application process for 2017 will
be similar. The 2017 workshop will likely be in Monterey with a Polar research focus.
A requirement of the application process is to trial an EARTH lesson and complete
the online feedback rubric (Note: this will take you to a new page on SurveyMonkey). All
application materials and questions can be sent to EARTH. Applications should include
the completed rubric and a cover letter than includes the following information: your
school/district, grade level/s and subject/s taught, and email/phone contact (both school
and personal as the school email system sometimes rejects our group emails). Please
also address the following questions: Why do you want to be selected for this
workshop? What makes you the ideal candidate? Include any other information that you
think might be useful to us as we make our decisions.
The workshop for EARTH 2016 will be held July 24-29 at Rutgers University in NJ, and
co-hosted by a new NSF funded program (Polar Integrated Curriculum Education). To
keep up to date on all things EARTH, please join our facebook page.

July 24 – 29 • Rutgers • New Brunswick, NJ
EARTH 2016 will be held July 24-29 at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ. The
workshop will be co-hosted by MBARI and a new NSF funded program (Polar
Integrated Curriculum Education).
The purpose of the workshop is to:



Educate, excite, and engage teachers with the concept of observatory (surface,
benthic, and pelagic) data in the classroom
Develop curricula enabling teachers and students to utilize near-real-time data
Increase scientific literacy in polar marine science

Produce leaders in the next generation of polar oceanographers by providing state-ofthe art training
Citizen Science Using JellyWatch
Students will use the Jellywatch.org app to download and analyze raw data of
sightings recorded through this citizen science initiative. Students will use a modified
data set from Jellywatch.org to investigate the geographic distribution of the jellyfish
sightings recorded. Students will also use real-time data from Jellywatch.org to search
for recent sightings of jellies in their own region, where applicable. Students will
communicate their findings for a formative assessment using an Infographic platform.
Multiple extensions allow the flexibility for students to collect their own data and to
demonstrate the importance of programs that collect such data.

About MBARI
Research programs at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) encompass the entire ocean,
from the surface waters to the deep seafloor, and from the coastal zone to the open sea. The need to
understand the ocean in all its complexity and variability drives MBARI's research and development efforts.
