Current Events Week #1
Becoming Ocean - When you and the world are drowning -What is happening? -How might this affect policy, culture, nature? -What is your personal connection to this? In the article, a woman shares her story living with polycystic kidney disease (pkd), a disease that has affected generations of her family. She draws parallels between her life and the ocean. She was diagnosed with pkd at 22, letting the disease control her life. Depriving herself from doing things that could make her ill. Each year, she thought the pain of pkd would come, and when it did, she found ways to cope with the pain. She lives her life to the fullest, learning about climate change, and issues within the planet. A quote that struck me was, “we have only to take the power from the water, we have only to insist on our survival, on the dignity of all the vulnerable lives depending on that decision to become ocean, not ocean as a thing of fear and annihilation, but as the giver of all life, sustainer of the planet, mother of us all, mystery at the centre of all life on earth.” More than 70 percent of our planet is ocean, yet most of it has been left undiscovered. It is our job to explore the ocean and see how we can protect it from the effects of global warming and human activities. I think that this article aims to inspire others to be activists for our planet, and to remain mindful of the affects we have on our planet.

My group was given Ocean Water Density and Thermohaline Circulation to present on. Ocean water density is determined by the differences in water temperature, salinity, and depth. Thermohaline Circulation, also known as the oceans conveyer belt, is a system that transports water around the world. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1OQEtc-mifLFHNb1343afqkgYOlUoieY2AIo79k7IlFI/edit#slide=id.p Ocean Based Problem Set 1
