This new OOI Data Lab was designed to help students apply their knowledge about the relationship between atmospheric processes (wind) and oceanic processes (currents and upwelling) to explore a real scenario where these two systems can affect benthic organisms and marine fisheries. The authors will discuss implementation in three different learning contexts, from a large lecture class to small laboratory exercises.
