Adventures in Oceanography and Teaching

I started this blog in 2013 as postdoc in physical oceanography at the Geophysical Institute, University of Bergen, Norway, to document my #KitchenOceanography and general thoughts on teaching. I kept blogging when I went back to Germany; first to Hamburg University of Technology as educational developer, then to the Leibniz Institute for Science and Mathematics Education in Kiel for a stint in educational and science communication research, and back to Hamburg as a science communicator at GEO. Right now, I am an academic developer both at the Centre for Engineering Education, Lund University, Sweden, and at the Geophysical Institute, University of Bergen, Norway, still documenting my “Adventures in Oceanography and Teaching”, currently mostly related to the three topics below. Welcome!

Teaching for Sustainability

How can we prepare our students for the end of the world as we know it? The more I think about it, the more I come to realize that ALL teaching needs to be teaching for sustainability.

Wave Watching

Hyper-local excursions to connect disciplinary content, specifically ocean physics, to everyday life, all around us, all the time. Also more and more about connecting with the world, each other, and ourselves.

Kitchen Oceanography

Exploring physical oceanography with simple experiments using only household items. This is where it all started, and it is still so much fun!
