I got the idea for this site while attending the oceanography class OCEAN 102 at the University of Washington. I wanted to gain a deeper understanding of how human activity affects the earth’s climate, and, as I learned, understanding the climate starts with understanding the ocean, which plays a dominate role in our daily weather as well as earth’s long-term changing climate.

Among the key lessons I learned when studying journalism at Indiana University was to consider the source. All content published on the site will include references to legitimate source material, so it cannot be mistaken for fake news or disinformation.
