Teaching materials

An illustration showing several instruments observing the ocean: a drifting buoy, a moored platform, an autonomous glider, sensors on the back of a sea turtle, a profiling float, a research vessel with a CTD rosette. Information is sent to a satellite. On the shore, there is a sea level gauge. Two children are studying the water while an adult woman watches over them.

Warming Oceans

Why is sea level rising?

© Foras na mara Institute

Individual or group activity

Duration: 10 min video

Type of activity: documentary, experiments

Language: English

Materials required: additional materials for the modelization shown in the videos

Increasing warmth in the atmosphere leads to increasing warmth in the oceans. It is one of the causes of sea level rise with the melting of land ice, as is shown in the modelization.
