RUCOOL advances the understanding and predictability of our ocean planet, marine and coastal ecosystems, and fisheries, for a safer, more resilient, prosperous, and equitable world. Our team is leading transformative interdisciplinary research, innovating and deploying novel observing technologies, co-developing blue economy solutions, and inspiring and educating future generations.
The Sentinel Mission will try to circumnavigate the global ocean following nautical rules by an underwater robot. The goal is to demonstrate new technology developed by Teledyne Marine Inc and promote curiosity of the ocean planet. The mission will use the newly developed Teledyne Marine’s Sentinel autonomous underwater vehicle. Our our goal is to build global unity, contribute scientific discoveries, and inspire a sustainable relationship with our world’s oceans.

Over the past 2+ decades, Rutgers University’s Center for Ocean Observing Leadership has not only assisted in the development and hardening of Slocum autonomous underwater gliders, they have led the charge distributing this technology worldwide. Through collaborative expansion efforts focused on capacity building, RUCOOL has helped establish multiple “glider ports”...

Rutgers University underwater glider RU37 is making its way northward through the Caribbean Sea toward Jamaica after being deployed last week by RUCOOL researchers in partnership with the Central Caribbean Marine Institute (CCMI) on Little Cayman. The deployment is part of an NSF-funded effort (NSF OCE-2421622) to answer a surprisingly...

RUCOOL’s CODAR HF-Radar network, part of a large Mid Atlantic HF-Radar network supported by the Mid Atlantic Regional Association Coastal Ocean Observing System (MARACOOS), has been delivering surface current data to the US Coast Guard for Search and Rescue for 20 years. Recently the data quality received a significant boost. CODAR’s...
