Sea & Space - A Successful Educational Project for Europe's Secondary Schools
Abstract
There are many links between the Sea and the Space surrounding us. Indeed, Space itself is often likened with a new and uncharted Ocean on which we now continue the great voyages of discovery of the past. Space-based satellites allow us to study the processes in the Earth's oceans in unprecedented detail and at the same time to verify complex principles in fundamental sciences like physics, chemistry and mathematics. Space is also our tenuous link to the distant places from where the ingredients of life first came to our planet, and the ocean is where they began the incredible evolutionary processes of which we ourselves are a product.
