Many undergraduate students in the Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship in Oceanography (SURFO) program have the opportunity to hone in their programming skills while delving into oceanographic research.

Continue reading "The Impact of Climate Change on Our Oceans"When people are hungry they look for food, maybe a cheeseburger. But what happens to microorganisms in the ocean when they get hungry? Do they perish, live or grow? Sean Anderson, a 24-year-old student at the University of Rhode Island’s Graduate School of Oceanography, answered those questions researching the feeding habits of heterotrophic protists—microscopic ocean […]

University of Rhode Island biology and marine biology students are spending their spring break on the island for another reason—to study its subtropical habitat. URI’s Graduate School of Oceanography and College of the Environment and Life Sciences are coordinating the week-long trip, […]

The associate professor at the Graduate School of Oceanography will receive the Hutner Prize from the International Society of Protistologists during its annual meeting this summer in Moscow. The organization is the largest […]
Continue reading "Graduate School of Oceanography Scientist Receives International Award"Alison Cleary spent six months at the top of the world recently studying what tiny crustaceans eat, kayaking in the light at midnight—and carrying a rifle to protect her from polar bears. Cleary, who graduated from the University of Rhode Island’s Graduate School of Oceanography in May 2015 with a doctorate in oceanography, says the […]
Continue reading "Cleary Studies Copepods North of Arctic Circle"GSO seismologists advanced the science of detecting and analyzing pressure waves caused by earthquakes, landslides, and nuclear explosions through development of a novel modeling approach called full-wave seismic analysis. This method extracts much more information from these phenomena than captured by older, standard ray-tracing methods. GSO’s high-powered computer clusters allow detection of small seismic events […]
