Oceanography 328:

Is a university degree really worth it? See this video by John Green, author of "The fault in our stars".

Check out this new Global ocean bathymetry web site from NOAA!

This page has specific techniques that might help to study more effectively (unfortunately, it has lots of ads)

Here's one of several good videos about how to study from Socratica

Also, you may also want to re-evaluate how you take notes.  See this study also.

More information on Fritz Haber.

This video shows a summary of NASA satellite systems that monitor ocean circulation, productivity and climate.

This is an amazing near real-time global wind map created by Cameron Beccario. You can zoom in and rotate the virtual Earth. Check it out!

This model by Fernanda Viégas and Martin Wattenberg gives a nice high-resolution view of the U.S. This near real-time map for the U.S. was the original (Cameron Beccario based his global model (above).

Here is the link to the Okeanos Explorer with live video feeds during the mission to the Gulf of Mexico.

El Niño conditions in the equatorial Pacific Ocean.

The first live translation of dolphin whistle could lead to interspecies communication in the future.

Here is a great NOAA site with example photos and videos of underwater volcanism and hydrothermal vents.

There has been concern for the last 20 years that some species of sharks might become endangered, a recent story points out that as many as 25% shark and related groups (rays and skates) could be in danger of going extinct.

Here is a great story on bacteria and the ocean crust.

Rising carbon dioxide levels are slowly lowering the ocean's pH, this may result in severe stress on some corals.

Mining of hydrothermal vents on the seafloor is set to start this year near Australia.

Here is information about James Cameron's dive to the Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench -- he made it to the bottom and back March 25, 2012. Here is a video from National Geographic that shows how the submersible is constructed (the video is preceded by an annoying commercial -- sorry).

How do we know humans are affecting global climate?

A recent report documents that about 75% of coral reefs are threatened. Check out this summary by Science Now.
