NOAA AOML Hosts Take Your Child to Work Day

NOAA’s Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory hosted take your child to work day at the lab. The children were first shown two presentations by NOAA scientists on sea level rise and hurricanes. Afterwards, the children were taken to the University of Miami’s Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, where the children were shown around the new coral reef lab and had the unique opportunity to see the University’s wave tank.
