Oceanographer, Adventurer, Pioneer.

Karen Wishner made a career of marine science, teaching and leadership. By Ellen Liberman In 1980, Karen Wishner rode into town on her Honda 400-4 Super Sport with a bedroll and her possessions bungeed on the back, like some outlaw biker science chick. Her new colleagues at the Graduate School of Oceanography were suitably impressed. […]

Passing clouds cause some marine animals to make mini-migrations

Photo from space of clouds above the ocean.

The nightly trek of small marine animals from the ocean depths to the surface has been called the largest migration on Earth, and new research led by GSO’s Melissa Omand finds that some zooplankton swim up and down in response to shifts in light due to cloud cover as well.
