What discoveries are GSO researchers making?
Whether it’s charting unexplored historic shipwrecks or tracing the movement of persistent organic pollutants through inland waterways and into Arctic food webs, GSO is uncovering critical knowledge about our ocean planet. Combining innovative technologies, cross-disciplinary expertise, and world-class partnerships, our researchers reveal processes and impacts that shape life on Earth—deepening our understanding and strengthening our ability to care for it.
