We all know that sea levels are rising and are expected to keep rising. How do variations in the sea level add to the overall rise? And do sub-hourly variations make a difference?
This resource introduces the work of Dr Jadranka Šepić, a geophysicist at the University of Split in Croatia, and her work investigating rising sea levels, in particular looking at sub-hourly sea level oscillations. It includes an interview with Dr Šepić and an insight into how to become a geophysicist. It also includes an activity sheet, which contains ‘talking points’ (based on Bloom’s Taxonomy) to prompt students to reflect on Dr Šepić’s work, and challenges them to imagine the world of the future.
