What is oceanographic and meteorological quantitative methods?

Oceanographic and Meteorological Quantitative Methods. A course to expose students to products and datasets that are available in oceanography and meteorology and techniques for manipulating the data to arrive at a better quantitative understanding of the oceans and atmosphere.

What is thermodynamics in science?

A study of the thermodynamic and kinematic properties of the atmosphere , including the effects of temperature, moisture and wind processes, introduces the forces responsible for atmospheric motions. This course uses thermodynamic diagrams for analyzing vertical profiles of atmospheric variables, as well as conventional and remotely-sensed data to analyze horizontal distributions of meteorological fields.

What is a laboratory?

A study of patterns and concepts of biological production in the ocean. Emphasis is on the integration of the biological and physical environment. Laboratory includes student planned studies and conceptual exercises. All aspects of the course emphasize the use of various knowledge areas to solve a problem.

Why is this Study Important?

Because of the success of the initial TIDES and the importance of these and other findings related to phthalate exposures, the National Institutes of Health has funded the continuation of TIDES, which we are calling TIDES II.

What Does Participation in TIDES II Involve?

Participation in TIDES II will consist of two clinic visits for each participating family over the course of 3 years.

Study Clinic Visits Location

All mother and child clinic visits for TIDES II will take place at the Epidemiology Clinical Research Center (ECRC). The ECRC is a short distance from campus, easy to get to, and parking is free. Directions to ECRC

April 2017 Update

We have successfully completed the age 4 visits for TIDES families! We thank you all for your continued interest in this important study, which continues to focus on the potential impact of the environment on our children. We are so happy to have had more than 85% of the original TIDES families participate in our age 4 study visit!

Summer 2018 Update

We have seen almost 1/2 of our eligible families for the 6-year old visits and it has been so exciting! (Note: If we haven’t yet seen you for your child’s visit, we look forward to being in contact soon.) We’ve heard lots of good things from moms and kids after attending their busy 6-year old visit.

Fall 2021 Update

The TIDES study continues to make important contributions to understanding the impacts of environmental exposures on children’s health. Currently, our TIDES kids are ages 9 – 10! The TIDES families continue to participate in TIDES as well as the ECHO Program, funded by the Office of the Director of NIH.
