Taking the Ocean's temperature: evolution in global ocean temperature measurements
Did you know that our oceans cover 70% of the planet but only 25% has been explored? Dive into the fascinating world of oceanography as we uncover how scientists measure the temperature of the ocean in our engaging activities. Just like humans can show symptoms when they are unwell, so can our oceans and it is up to oceanographers to find these signals and determine what they mean! Become an oceanographer for the day getting hands on experience with real oceanographic equipment as you learn how to measure temperature in the ocean. Come to our stand to chat to ocean scientists about the impact of changing temperatures for humans and animals.
