For the Instructor

These student materials complement the Coastal Processes, Hazards and Society Instructor Materials. If you would like your students to have access to the student materials, we suggest you either point them at the Student Version which omits the framing pages with information designed for faculty (and this box). Or you can download these pages in several formats that you can include in your course website or local Learning Managment System.

Accessing Tide Gauge Data Using the Permanent Service for Mean Sea Level Website

For this assignment, you will access and download three tide gauge data plots from the Permanent Service for Mean Sea Level website. Then you will paste these plots into a Powerpoint file so you can easily compare them. You will upload this PowerPoint file when you submit your lab.

The first graph you download will be for Victoria, British Columbia, on the Pacific Coast of North America. The second graph will be for Boston, MA, on the Atlantic Coast of North America. The third graph will be for the city you have selected for your Capstone Project. If you have not yet selected a city, you MUST do so now. You need to get approval from your instructor for your chosen city before you can complete this assignment. Note: if your Capstone Project city is Victoria or Boston, you may select any other city from the list to use as your third city.

Click Step 1 below to get started, then work through each step in turn. Before you turn in your final PowerPoint, make sure that you have filled in your name, inserted the 3 plots, the title of plot #3, and citation information, and saved the file using the appropriate file name.
