Geophysics: Sub-hourly sea level oscillations

Thank you for downloading this free resource. Let us know how we are doing and leave us a review.

Suitable for 14-19-year olds (secondary and high schools, and college), this article and accompanying activity sheet can be used in the classroom, STEM clubs and at home.

This resource links to KS4 and KS5 Geography and Physics.

It can also be used as a careers resource and links to Gatsby Benchmarks:
Gatsby Benchmark 2: Learning from career and labour market information
Gatsby Benchmark 4: Linking curriculum learning to careers

• This teaching resource explains the work of Dr Jadranka Šepić, a geophysicist based at the University of Split in Croatia, who is investigating sub-hourly sea level oscillations and what they might tell us about rising sea levels.
• This resource also contains an interview with Dr Šepić. If you or your students have a question for her, you can submit it online – go to the article using the Futurum link below and scroll to the bottom of the page. Dr Šepić will reply!
• The activity sheet provides ‘talking points’ (based on Bloom’s Taxonomy) to prompt students to reflect on Dr Šepić’s research and challenges them to imagine the world in 2100.

This resource was first published on Futurum Careers, a free online resource and magazine aimed at encouraging 14-19-year-olds worldwide to pursue careers in science, tech, engineering, maths, medicine (STEM) and social sciences, humanities and the arts for people and the economy (SHAPE).
