“Campus renewal”—a ten-year program of laboratory and facility construction—anticipates the ways in which oceanography will evolve. It will also provide scientists and engineers with the infrastructure they need today and tomorrow to develop technologies and conduct world-class research. Campus renewal will be rolling out in two phases. Phase One projects—replacement of the pier and seawater […]

Aboard GSO, Fall 2021 As 2021 draws to a close, the school—this place and its people—is poised to enter a new era. That we are commemorating a 60th anniversary, while anticipating campus construction and the arrival of a new research vessel, makes this crystal clear. Last year, GSO formed a committee to identify names for […]

By Todd Mcleish In what some scientists call one of the largest migrations on Earth, massive numbers of small fish and zooplankton travel from the ocean depths to the surface every evening to feast on phytoplankton before returning to the depths at dawn. Based on data collected by a research team led by URI professor […]

By Todd McLeish In May of 2021, a team of five GSO scientists spent two weeks retrieving 24 sensors from the seafloor in the deepest part of the Gulf of Mexico as part of a long-term, collaborative effort to better understand the Gulf’s Loop Current system. The instruments had been collecting data every hour since […]

Funded research is the lifeblood of this school. Through it, knowledge about Earth’s ocean is expanded, scientists apply wisdom and expertise, graduate students gain experience and unlock passions, and the nation sees facts and evidence on which it can act. The quantity and quality of oceanographic research conducted at GSO is a special point of […]
