In March 2026, during the IPSL Polar Thematic School (16–18 March 2026), Dr Mahdi Mansour of the Office for Climate Education (OCE), Sorbonne University led a session with polar-science doctoral students to test «Reading the Ocean from Space», a new inquiry-based lesson built on real data and images from the SWOT satellite mission (NASA–CNES).
Working in groups with worksheets, maps and structured activities, the participants tested the lesson's activities and gave feedback; the lesson was then reviewed by experts and included in the second edition of the OCE handbook «The Climate in Our Hands — Ocean and Cryosphere» (2026), published as a standalone activity on the OCE website.
