June is National Ocean Month! The ocean is the defining feature on our blue planet. All life, including our own, exists because of the ocean.
Atlantic #HurricaneSeason2021 begins today — Are you #WeatherReady? Storm surge, heavy rainfall, and strong wind are the most dangerous hurricane hazards. Learn how you can stay safe during a hurricane in our new explainer on hurricane safety!
https://www.noaa.gov/education/explainers/hurricane-safety-explained
#NOAAResourceOfTheDay
Hurricanes are powerful storms that bring life-threatening hazards to people living in both coastal and inland communities. Though you may first think of wind when envisioning a hurricane, water hazards are historically the most deadly. In this explainer, we will review the three major hazards of hu...

Effective science communication takes a lot of time and practice. Maggie Beetstra, Ph.D., our current National Sea Grant College Program #Knauss Fellow, describes how her research with Midwestern farmers improved her science communication skills and revealed how much she has to learn from them. Read more below:
Before becoming an Ohio Sea Grant Knauss Fellow, Maggie Beetstra spent hours talking with farmers about conservation.
Now, Maggie is applying the same science communication approaches to her work with NOAA Education See her lessons learned: bit.ly/beetstra-knauss-blog.

Check out the latest Watershed Chronicles from North American Association for Environmental Education - NAAEE!
“Spring is just starting to pop up in Western New York. In our streets, the flowers of red and silver maples are opening, just in time to witness 30 students and 7 educators stepping outside, noting the cloud cover, and stepping back in to report their data. We are all looking at our world with fresh eyes, but thanks to this Watershed STEM grant, we’re not all seeing the same thing.”
What are students and staff seeing at Reinstein Woods Nature Preserve? For this Watershed Wednesday, read this month’s Watershed Chronicle: bit.ly/SteppingOutside
Through eeBLUE, a partnership between the NOAA B-WET, NOAA Education, North American Association for Environmental Education - NAAEE, and supported by U.S. Department of Education, 30 environmental education organizations were awarded grants to provide watershed-related STEM projects. This blog post is the seventh monthly Watershed Chronicles post featuring the grantees and their work.

Last week, we upgraded the Science On a Sphere installation at NOAA Headquarters in Silver Spring, Maryland. The new setup includes high resolution, 4K projectors that display data even more detailed and stunning than before. Our new 4K projectors are capable of displaying data visualizations at four times the resolution of HD displays (and more than 10x better than our old projectors). NOAA Headquarters is among the first in the in this new wave of upgrades that will eventually roll out in more locations across the network of over 140 institutions that host NOAA's Science On a Sphere. This time-lapse condenses two days of work into one minute. In it, you can watch us disconnect and remove the old sphere, assemble and hang the new sphere, spackle and paint to hide the seam, and calibrate and align the projectors so the data displays seamlessly. If you're in the DC area, you can stop by NOAA's Science On a Sphere in Silver Spring on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 11:30 am - 1:30 pm. Or, check out Science On a Sphere at an institution near you - locations are listed at sos.noaa.gov. #NOAA #datavisualization #dataviz #science #noaasphere
