Weird things happening when ice cubes melt. Remember I said that there were weird and wonderful things going on when I last ran the melting ice cubes in salt and fresh water experiment? It is really difficult to see in the picture below (sorry!) but you can probably spot the ice cube floating at the […]
Wow, I am so bad at posting wave watching pics recently… Here is everything that happened on my wave watching Instagram @fascinocean_kiel in the last 10 weeks! Enjoy!
Participation in shared production of artefacts is a great way to learn in a community, because putting things on paper (or, as we will see later, on online slides or physical whiteboards) requires a clearer articulation of the topic of discussion, and a level of commitment to a shared meaning (Wenger, 1998). We give two […]
At the end of last year, I did a poll on Twitter, asking what people would like to see more of in 2021: Kitchen oceanography, wave watching, teaching & scicomm tips, and other things. And 2/3rds of the respondents said they wanted more kitchen oceanography! So obviously my strategy was to do a photo shooting […]
Last #WaveWatchingWednesday of 2020 — this year’s final compilation of my Instagtam posts! Today with a lot of non-wave watching pics. But who doesn’t love some #KitchenOceanography?
Another episode of the Treibholz podcast (in german) with Ronja, Maxie and myself! We are doing Elin’s favourite experiment (ok, mine too), looking at ice cubes melting in fresh water and salt water. What can we learn from that about the ocean? #KitchenOceanography
My friend’s university recently decided that “excursion week” (a week in May during which there are no lectures or exercises or anything happening at university to make time for field courses during the semester) is cancelled this year. Which is, of course, not surprising given the current situation, but it isn’t cancelled as in “go […]
It’s #KitchenOceanography season! For example in Prof. Tessa M Hill‘s class at UC Davis. Last week, her student Robert Dellinger posted a video of an overturning circulation on Twitter that got me super excited (not only because as of now, April 15th, it has 70 retweets and 309 likes. That’s orders of magnitude more successful than any […]
Welcome to another #WaveWatchingWednesday post, where you get all of last week’s wave watching pics from my Instagram @fascinocean_kiel in one go! Let’s get started: Fascinating how different parts of the water look so different. Some dark because areas are more rough because there are wind-generated ripples and waves there. Other areas are brighter because […]
