Ocean Studies Investigations Manual

• Investigations lead students through the analysis and interpretation of real-world ocean data
• Two investigations per textbook chapter, a total of 30 lab-related investigations
• Each investigation is self-contained in the Manual, and may be supplemented using Current Ocean Studies on the RealTime Ocean Portal

As each Investigations Manual activity is self-contained, AMS Ocean Studies course materials are available to instructors in their entirety prior to the beginning of a term.

Instructors who want their students to study ocean in real-time can supplement the investigations with Current Ocean Studies, posted weekly on the RealTime Ocean Portal. View this year's schedule for Current Weather Studies.

Edits and selected contributions provided by DataStreme Lead Instructor and Curriculum Development Coordinator, Chad Kauffman, Ph.D.

Orders for the Ocean Studies Investigations Manual and/or other course materials should be placed through your college bookstore. Go to the Order Class Materials page for details. Students can also place orders directly through the AMSEDU Bookstore.

If you are a faculty member interested in using the AMS Ocean Studies materials in a current or future course offering, you may request an examination copy of the Textbook and Investigations Manual, which includes guest access to the RealTime Ocean Portal.
