The Inter- Ocean-Climate School is an exploratorium*.  Everyone with an interest in the well-being of our ocean is invited to apply.  The School will be of interest to people who, and organisations that, have a stake in planning and acting for the future of the oceans, especially the future of the oceans as they are being shaped by accelerating global warming and climate change.  We will work at the intersection or nexus of oceans and climate.

 

*An exploratorium may be thought of as a participant-oriented forum for the hands-on, collaborative exploration of known issues through a new lens with the purpose of opening up pragmatic, action-oriented pathways to progress.  Another way to describe it is a LOLA, Live Online Learning Activity, a term coined by Sivasailam Thiagarajan, PhD, aka Thiagi.

​​

Stakeholders may include:  Researchers, decision makers, citizens, scientists, students, activists, environmental organizations, NGOs, scientific institutions, local and central government agencies and their representatives, business and industry, local politicians, health, tourism, utilities, military and transport.
