GSO is among the nation’s premiere oceanographic research institutions, winning more than $30 million annually in funded research for government agencies, nongovernmental organizations and the private sector. Our work brings data and knowledge to some of the most vexing, and urgent, debates of our time.

Exploring Earth’s ocean calls for collaboration among scientists from varied disciplines and backgrounds taking different approaches and offering different perspectives. Therefore, this presentation of GSO’s research is organized by broad topics that describe issues and concerns in the real world.
