Sailing around the world
Workshops around the world
This fall Ed will be sailing around the world aboard the MV Explorer with Semester at Sea. While at sea, Ed will teach two classes of oceanography and one on the methods of teaching science. The classes are offered through the University of Virginia.
Ashore, he will give hands-on workshops at local schools, lead student sea kayaking and snorkeling trips, and explore the ten countries on four continents.
