Students will learn to think critically,  ask scientific questions, use data to answer those questions, and find creative ways to communicate what they find to the world. 

I am an Oceangrapher-Mom with a PhD from Cornell University who switched to soundscape ecology when my kids were young and we moved to Montreal.  Now we are living in France for the year, still collecting data on our soundscape.  My kids and I started recording with a hydrophone in the lake and a recorder on a floating dock at the University of Montreal's Biological research station, and kept on listening in our backyard and the roof of their school.   I have worked with marine biologists, fishermen,  fisheries managers, ship captains, environmentalists, and all sorts of oceanographers (physical, chemical, biological, geological). As a team, we have looked at how plankton dynamics are affected by ocean currents, how fisheries respond to climactic changes in circulation, and how whales and dolphins respond to our research efforts in their homes.   I am teaching these classes because the world needs citizen scientists who can think critically about how our world is changing, and find new ways to communicate, innovate, and compensate.
