THE NEED FOR INTEGRATED RESEARCH
The RUCOOL team performs research in every ocean on earth, from pole to pole, and studies the gamut ocean sciences including physics, biology, chemistry and geology. In order to acquire a comprehensive view of the complete ocean system, we leverage numerous technologies to acquire data to research events such as hurricanes, to long term climate change.
1+1+1=10! An example of the success of data integration is in the Mid-Atlantic Bight, where we integrate temperature and water visibility data from satellites, currents from HF-Radar, and subsurface data from ocean gliders. Putting these three technologies together gives us a 4 dimensional view of what is occurring within the ocean, and feeds ocean forecast models.
Learn by doing: Our faculty and technicians work in state-of-the-art laboratories, on vessels, and in classrooms to give undergraduate and graduate students hands-on, experiential learning opportunities.
