attention, where they decide on what they might take in high school and where their interests may lie for the future,” said Brice, who says she works to employ the STEAM — science, technology, engineering, arts, and math — system into her curriculum. Brice had already planned
a day of science activities for the girls — a visit to Scripps Marine Facility at Point Loma and a stop at Birch to see the exhibits and meet with Scripps research- ers — when the aquarium contacted her to ask if she would be willing to try out the ship-to-shore call live in the aquarium gal- leria. Brice — who has been a teacher-at-sea on six Scripps cruises and has arranged for live broad- casts into her classroom from Antarctica, along the Equator, and the coast of Hawaii — said yes. A Skype call sounds sim-
more with younger stu- dents. I was glad to see how eager the students were to learn more about what we do,” said Angel Ruacho, a graduate student on the cruise. Ruacho went along to take measurements of iron dissolved in seawater (just like humans, aquatic animals need iron to stay healthy). “I think the ses- sion went pretty well and the students asked good questions pertaining to the kind of work we were doing at sea.”
The RYGH ROV dives to 1000 feet and sends color images back to the surface
ple enough, but since cell towers are not available in the ocean and satellite con- nections are expensive, the plentiful bandwidth we’re accustomed to on land is not available aboard ships. Satellite position, weather, and wave swell also influ-
ence communication. Mark Ohman, professor
of biological oceanography and lead Scripps researcher on the cruise, said “we had to allocate all our shipboard internet bandwidth to this call, placing all other...data links temporarily on hold.”
“We could see the researchers, but they couldn’t see us,” said Birch Aquarium post-doctoral fellow Darcy Taniguchi, who set up the call. “The ship-to-shore com- munication has made me want to share our research

Ohman and the crew aboard Sikuliaq took to sea at relatively short notice to study the effects of the 2015–’16 El Niño on the California Cur- rent Ecosystem, named for the cold current that flows down the west coast of North America. Scripps scientists were, Ohman said, “anxious to learn just how the ocean food web and biogeochemical cycles
were affected,” by the warm water of El Niño. To do so, they had to borrow a ship from University of Alaska Fairbanks, because a Scripps ship was not avail- able. “It’s too soon to report definitively our results,” Ohman told the kids at the Institure, “but a few things are clear. Not only was the ocean anomalously warm, but phytoplankton [single- celled algae] were anoma- lously sparse.” Phytoplankton are the
base of the ocean food chain. The smallest organ- isms in the ocean affect the largest: minuscule krill eat phytoplankton, and baleen whales (among many other animals) eat krill. Existence in the ocean depends on phytoplankton to convert light into energy to make the building blocks of life. A display describing the
study of the California Cur- rent Ecosystem was the first installation in The Expe-
