The Hatfield Marine Science Visitor Center (Newport, Oregon) will acquire and install a 3 ft. Magic Planet as part of a larger interactive data visualization exhibit. Pacific Northwest regional data sets will complement NOAA global data to serve as a model education program. Specific focus areas include coastal climates, hypoxia/dead zones, algal blooms, and/or aquatic invasive species. The Principle Investigator for this project have unique expertise in K-12 education, teacher professional development, curriculum development and evaluation, particularly in free-choice learning environments.","Maryland Science Center, U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System / NANOOS, Oregon Coast Aquarium, Oregon State University (OSU) / College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences"
