The ship typically spends 260 to 300 days a year in open water, on trips that can last up to two months

The study resolves a scientific conundrum, and an inconsistent pattern of warming often seized on by climate deniers

Research is the first to describe just how far-reaching the impact of human industrial activity can be

The National Science Foundation awarded $11.8 million to Rutgers to launch and operate the Ocean Observatories Initiative’s data system.

Deoxygenation due to climate change threatens marine life

Local authorities turned to scientists after being unable to determine the cause of a blast at Salty Brine State Beach in Narragansett

A new study, by scientists from the University of Southampton and National Oceanography Centre (NOC), implies that the global climate is on the verge of broad-scale change that could last for a number of decades.

Ocean researchers like to say we know less about the Earth’s seas than the moon. With less than 5 percent of the world’s oceans explored, big discoveries await. To find them, University of Rhode Island students are learning to build the next generation of autonomous underwater vehicles, or AUVs, used to map seafloors, study ocean movement, locate sunken objects, research sea life and more.

On their most recent trip to study seeps, Indiana State University scientists made a big discovery regarding a tiny creature that lives in both seep and non-seep habitats.

The University of Delaware’s Mark Moline knew that his grandfather, O. Karl Olander, was a Navy chaplain in the Pacific during World War II.
