Can ocean conditions support the growth and survival of marine life, both now and into the future? 

With this new NOAA Data in the Classroom module, students can dig into this question and the relationships between carbon dioxide, ocean pH and aragonite saturation state. This educational resource introduces students to ocean and coastal acidification through a series of interactive web maps, apps, and videos, allowing students to explore authentic research questions and scaled data interactions that use near real‐time data from NOAA.
