could be adapted to higher levels and other locations very easily.
Students should have previous knowledge of the water and carbon-oxygen
biogeochemical cycles, as well as local weather events, collecting data
on them, and basic understanding of the role of the ocean in regulating
regional climates.This webquest was put together by Jo DeVries.
