Podcast Description
Ever gaze out onto the ocean and wonder what was beneath the surface? Or what mysteries lurk below? In this podcast, we will look at, listen to and touch the ocean to unpack some of its secrets. Find out how to detect underwater earthquakes, take photos of some of the smallest ocean creatures, measure ocean temperature, and much more. We use your comments and answers to our puzzles in the podcast, so have a listen and be in touch! Brought to you by the Centers for Ocean Sciences Education Excellence Networked Ocean World (COSEE NOW) with support from the National Science Foundation.

Something to look forward to every 2 weeks
Ocean Gazing is a wonderfully orchestrated podcast that experts and novices alike can enjoy! It flows well (no pun intended) within each piece and from one to the next. I appreciate the opportunity this podcast affords me to learn about specific discoveries and technologies without being bashed over the head with too many esoteric facts. Well done!
