H20: An Ocean of Science

Designed to celebrate the UNB Art Centre’s 10th year of participation in World Water Day events, the app is part of an international project to bring awareness to the importance of water resources and their sustainable management.

The app allows users to select a Standard 3D or Augmented Reality version of a globe to discover the ocean biosphere and experience how interconnected our planet is-- from the smallest bacteria to the largest blue whale. H2O: An Ocean of Science brings together research, data, and analysis from scientists, oceanographers, zoologists, climatologists, geologists, and others to understand the challenges facing various marine environments. For each entry, references are provided to encourage further exploration. As well, the app allows users to submit their own observations and data as part of the conversation about climate change.
