After completing the Fall mission of RU23 along the Rutgers Endurance Line, the 2024-2025 MOO students have once again successfully deployed, piloted, and recovered the glider for a Spring mission. This achievement enables seasonal comparisons of New Jersey shelf waters while providing invaluable hands-on experience with operational ocean observing technologies....
This study addresses to what degree can we predict how the development of offshore wind (OSW) might alter the distribution of zooplankton, the major food source for migrating whales along the northeast coastline. The study highlights many of the difficulties and the need for localized field efforts sampling along a...
Animals often need to search for food, especially in the ocean were food can be patchy and can move based on the ocean currents. This study related the base of the food web (phytoplankton), Antarctic krill to the locations of GPS radio-tagged penguins. Using the data allowed the team document...
