Our researchers tackle complex environmental challenges by applying the latest technological advances to ocean, earth, and atmospheric research and education. Marking a new age of environmental research, we are using high-tech satellite images, surface and underwater sensors, and complex computer models to help enhance climate predictions, identify and mitigate pollution, improve resource management, and make marine transportation safer and more efficient. Our scientists and policy specialists also are using innovative tools to better understand our valuable biological resources, investigate their populations, life histories and habitats, and determine the different natural and human factors affecting their survival.
