    systems and are subject to long- and short-term variations. Key concepts include
    a) physical and chemical changes (tides, waves, currents, sea level and ice cap variations, upwelling, and salinity
    variations).

    Local oceanography info --
    Standard ES.11 b, e
    The student will investigate and understand that oceans are complex, interactive physical, chemical, and biological
    systems and are subject to long- and short-term variations. Key concepts include
