Overview
“Coral Reefs: Moorea, French Polynesia"
Follow an undergraduate class from UCLA as they conduct research at the Richard B. Gump South Pacific Research Station on Moorea, French Polynesia. In addition to three course lectures (to be available from April 12 - April 30, 2010), online workshop participants may follow student blogs (to be available from May 3 - May 21, 2010) as they discuss their research, what it’s like to live and work on a tropical island, and what they do for fun.
We will also be web-casting their finishing symposium, where the students will present their projects and their results (to be held on June 11, 2010).

Five Years of Lectures Online
During the first five years of our COSEE WEST project from 2002-2007 the College of Exploration recorded lectures given by scientists in the Los Angeles region and put them online. You can view them now by signing in on this page.
Some of these lectures and other additional material formed the basis for online teacher workshops that were offered. These workshops are now read only but all lectures and resources are available (see right).

About COSEE-West
We are a community-based ocean science education network of oceanographic researchers, K-12 educators, informal education centers and the general public.
COSEE-West is the west coast hub for the National Science Foundation supported COSEE (Centers for Ocean Sciences Education Excellence) effort. The primary role of the COSEE network is to act as a catalytic, multi-faceted collaboration that integrates ongoing research in the ocean sciences with K-12 education and outreach.
COSEE WEST is a collaboration between the College of Exploration, the University of Southern California, and the University of California, Los Angeles .
