Spring into science with NOAA!

Two men stand in front of a Science On a Sphere globe that displays a world map and the word ‘congratulations’. The globe hangs in an unfinished museum gallery, with parts and boxes on the floor around the site.

20 years, 200 spheres: NOAA celebrates the 200th Science On a Sphere

The image of the cover of the guide includes the title in white text “Conocimiento Oceanográfico: Principios Esenciales y Conceptos Fundamentales de Las Ciencias Oceánicas Para Estudiantes de Todas Las Edades”. The background for the text is a photographic compilation with the view below the waterline. We see blue ocean water teeming with marine life such as many different types of fishes, sea turtles, and coral reefs. A small submersible shines its lights on these marine animals.

Kate Laboda, a Hollings scholar, spent her summer internship Nancy-Drewing it at an oyster farm in Juneau, Alaska.

A digitally illustrated poster that shows a water column represented as visually noisy acoustic data. On top of the water, a NOAA vessel rests in the water. The deep scattering layer is drawn about a third of the way down the water column. Towards the bottom of the poster, the backscattering response implies sea floor bathymetry that varies in depth. An ROV located in the deep scattering layer is connected by a wire to the NOAA vessel. Gelatinous marine organisms are drawn in the ROV's line of sight.

Anika Cho, a 2022 Hollings scholar, researched life in the deep scattering layer and created a poster to show what she found.

Natalie Dornan holds up a large piece of kelp while standing on the back of a ship. She is wearing sunglasses and a shirt that reads, “Science is Cool.” Santa Barbara Island is in the background on a very flat and calm day on the water in NOAA's Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary.
