In this lab, we will investigate water properties including temperature, salinity, and density. We will examine temperature variations at different depths and latitudes, observe how ocean water forms distinct layers, and explore the relationship between salinity and density using measurement instruments. Additionally, we will analyze water samples from an estuary to determine salinity levels and assess potential sources of pollution. By the end of the lab, we will gain a better understanding of how seawater properties are measured and the valuable oceanographic information they provide.
After completing this lab you will be able to:

The temperature of ocean water is not uniform at all latitudes or depths. Instead, it has a layered structure. These layers can be identified by measuring the temperature at different depths, creating what is known as a temperature profile of the water column (Figure 1). These profiles vary across different regions of the globe, classified as low latitudes (near the equator), mid-latitudes, and high latitudes (polar regions). The main factor controlling temperature in these profiles is the amount of sunlight reaching the ocean surface, which varies by latitude. Low latitudes receive direct sunlight year-round, warming surface waters, while high latitudes receive less energy, resulting in cooler temperatures.
Figure 1. Idealized temperature profiles for different latitudes and seasons
Watch the following video on how temperature and salinity are measured in the ocean:
Activity 1. Interpreting Ocean Temperature Profiles
In this activity, you will examine how temperature changes with depth and varies with latitude by using the provided figures to answer the questions.
Procedure:
|
Question 1: What temperature profile has the warmest water in the ocean and why? |
|
Question 2: How does temperature change with depth in profiles A and B? |
|
Question 3: What is the name of the vertical zone where temperature changes rapidly? |
|
Question 4: How does the temperature profile B differ from profile A? |
|
Question 5: Why do you think there is seasonal variation in profile B? |
|
Question 6: How does the temperature profile C compare to A and B? |
Activity 2. Ocean Temperature Experiment
In this activity, we will simulate ocean heating by using a container of water with thermometers placed at various depths to measure temperature changes. A source of light heated the water for 60 minutes and temperature changes were continuously monitored at each depth. You may observe the experimental setup in Figure 2.
Figure 2. Water container being heated by a light source
Procedure:
|
Question 7: What was the highest and the lowest temperature measured in the ocean temperature experiment? |
|
Question 8: Briefly describe the results. Did a thermocline develop in the water tank? |
|
Question 9: Compare the lab experiment to real ocean conditions. How do they differ? |
|
Question 10: What does the lamp in our experiment symbolize in a real ocean scenario? |
Salinity refers to the concentration of dissolved salts in seawater and plays a key role in determining water density. Higher salinity increases density, while lower salinity decreases it. This relationship affects ocean circulation, stratification, and marine ecosystems. Salinity is expressed in permil () and is equivalent to parts per thousand (ppt), which represent the amount of dissolved salts in water per thousand parts. For example, a salinity of 35 means there are 35 grams of dissolved salts per 1,000 grams of seawater. Coastal environments experience changing salinity due to the mixing of freshwater and seawater. In an estuary, freshwater from a river flows into the ocean, creating a salinity gradient. Near the river mouth, salinity is low (0 to 3 ), but as water moves toward the ocean (salinity of 35-38 ), it gradually increases as freshwater and seawater mix. This gradual variation in salinity strongly influences the coastal environment.
Watch the following video on how water is sampled in estuaries:
Activity 3. Determining Salinity of Water Samples
In this activity, you will act as an oceanographer studying the Coyote Estuary. This is a fragile environment where freshwater mixes with seawater. High toxin levels have been detected, and there is strong evidence of damage to the ecosystem. Griffin Chemical Company, located upriver, denies responsibility, suggesting toxins come from the Pacific Ocean. To test this claim, seawater samples were collected from different locations (Figure 3).
Figure 3. Sampling map of the Coyote Estuary
We will use the following methods to determine salinity:
Method 1: Hydrometer
A hydrometer is used to measure the density and temperature of a sample (Figure 4). When placed in water, it sinks lower in low-salinity samples and floats higher in high-salinity samples. Using the density and temperature measurements, salinity can be estimated by finding their intersection on the graph provided in Figure 5.
Method 2: Refractometer
Salinity and temperature affect seawater density. A refractometer measures how light bends through water, allowing to determine salinity (Figure 6). A few drops of the sample are placed on the prism and the transparent cover is gently closed to spread the liquid evenly. The salinity reading is obtained by looking through the eyepiece toward a light source.
Procedure:
First, we will measure density, temperature, and salinity of the provided water samples.
|
Question 11: Could a higher salinity sample contaminate a lower salinity sample? |
|
Question 12: Could a lower salinity sample interfere with the readings of a higher one? |
Then, we will analyze our data in order to find out if the Griffin Chemical Company is the source of pollution of the estuary.
|
Question 13: After studying your data, explain why salinity vary across the estuary. |
|
Question 14: According to your results, is there enough evidence to affirm that |
|
Question 15: What further studies or analyses would you suggest conducting to fully confirm your conclusion? |

Assignment SUMMARY: This assignment asks you to use AI as a starting tool, not a shortcut, to explore leadership theories. First, you use AI to generate a short literature review connecting at least two leadership modelssuch as Transformational Leadership, Servant Leadership, Kouzes & Posners Leadership Model, or Adaptive Leadershipand relate them to your teams client, Dr. Gates, who leads the Leadership Studies Department and is exploring issues of employee and coworker burnout. Then, you fact-check everything yourselfby finding real scholarly sources, confirming they exist, and evaluating whether the AI was accurate using an audit table with quotes and page numbers. After that, you write your own independent analysis (no AI allowed) explaining how those leadership theories can help address burnout and support your teams consulting recommendations. Overall, the goal is to build research skills, critical thinking, and responsible AI use while applying leadership concepts to a real-world problem.

Write a leader guidebook of best practices for new supervisors in your current organization or an organization with which you are familiar.
This assessment provides you with the opportunity to demonstrate a solid theory of leadership in a practical application that you can use in your organization.
The resources provided in this assessment cover both change renewal and chaos. Even though we fear change and long for the comfort of equilibrium, this closed and insulated stance means choosing to wear down and decay. When allowed to grow and evolve, living systems integrate diverse information through open feedback loops. Through self-referencing of values, traditions, aspirations, competency, and culture, systems recreate themselves in similar shapes. A leader’s role is to invite disturbance, to create dangerously, because disturbance leads to disequilibrium and, therefore, growth and resilience.
By choosing to openly engage with change and remembering identity, leaders can increase speed to market and shape consumer preference. Although counterintuitive, the more freedom allowed in a self-organizing system, the more creative and adaptive it can be. Most innovation to the marketplace occurs through the adaptation to a customer’s request by one or two individuals. Information, rather than needing to be managed, needs to be shared and processed to increase awareness and consciousness of complexity and ambiguity. In the absence of information, people make it up. They will make their own meaning.
It seems the leader’s role is to openly invite new and disturbing information and to allow the organization to learn, make sense of, and respond or adapt to a changing environment, trusting self-referencing and stressing long-term identity.
The resources in this assessment also explore the paradox of order and chaoshow, over time and with a perspective toward wholeness, what might appear as chaos begins to build up a repeatable pattern of the strange attractor. In human systems, meaning, purpose, and mission are the organizing principles. Even a small change may result in a big impact on the whole system, and it is sometimes the slow but constant factor that is the unseen danger. So it is a combination of a leader holding tightly to vision and values while allowing individuals the freedom to act.
Imagine it is your job to write a leader guidebook for new supervisors in your current organization or an organization with which you are familiar, based on a leadership theory. Your guide should include the following:

Create a 79 page leadership analysis using the narrative and summary of the leadership interviews you conducted.
This assessment gives you the opportunity to synthesize and demonstrate your understanding and experience interviewing leaders and how the leadership characteristics you analyzed relate to leadership theories, the New Business Realities, and the Thinking Habits.
The resources provided in this assessment explore how theory occurs in the human systems arena through culture, values, and ethics. Imagine purpose or direction working like gravity or a magnetic field to organize messy human behavior toward a unifying direction. A leader’s role is to state, clarify, discuss, model, and embody the values and purposes as a way to subtly create order and direction.
The resources in this assessment also address the idea that what you see is what you get, meaning that we create self-fulfilling prophecies and shape reality just by deciding what to measure. It is important for leaders to understand that people support what they help create, and if the leaders want implementation, they have to promote ownership through participation. When leaders begin promoting ownership, they view job descriptions and organization charts differently. Their perspective moves toward a holistic approach to the interactions and connections between managers and employees or between departments. In the end, they serve all stakeholders better.
After you have written the interviews in narrative format and made the necessary adjustments based off of the feedback provided to you in Assessment 4, you will analyze the experience in the context of leadership theory and the common learning themes of the program: New Business Realities and The Thinking Habits of Mind, Heart, and Imagination.

Based on the interviews you completed in Assessment 2, write a report that describes your interview experiences, summarizes your findings, and analyzes your interviewees’ personal characteristics as they align with effective leadership.
The purpose of this assessment is to consolidate your experience interviewing two leaders and to incorporate what you have learned thus far about the personal characteristics of effective leaders. Your assessment will reflect your insights about integrity, purpose, change, interpersonal skills, and maintaining balance (resilience), and will embody a meaningful leadership story at different levels of an organization’s leadership.
Much of the traditional literature on organizations has been based on Newtonian images of the world as a mechanical operation where the manager’s task is to control outcomes, determine truth, and make sure things are right. New research has challenged many of these underlying assumptions, changing the thinking about organizations and the role of leaders. More emphasis is given to the importance of identity and evolving assumptions, such as the recognition of interconnectedness. The importance of relationship in providing the patterns of order and integrity is being recognized. Living systems are chaotic and constantly adapting, but out of the chaos a new order is created.
Through dialogue, deep listening, and facilitating, leaders help followers create new knowledge and understanding of system patterns that allow a value-guided organization to let go of old patterns and reemerge adapted to a new reality. There is more recognition of the “boundary-less” nature of adaptive systems to their environments. Moreover, there is also an appreciation that values, mission, purpose, relationship, and accessibility of leaders play critical roles in the survival of their systems. Living systems will naturally respond and adapt to their environments, making the leader’s job much more one of empowering, encouraging relationships, and facilitating the conversation about adaptation.
Execute your plan. Interview two leaders. Write up your notes, including examining interviewees’ personal characteristics and respond to the following:
