Understanding the Caribbean Sea’s role in the broader oceanic circulation system

Dr. Travis Miles and Dr. Joe Gradone, along with partners at NC State and UVI, have been awarded a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF OCE-2421622) to better understand the Caribbean Sea. This project will address critical gaps in understanding the processes modifying subsurface temperature and salinity properties within the Caribbean...

RAA Event Celebrates Innovative Ocean Research

When Hurricane Beryl churned toward the Caribbean Sea last summer, Leah Hopson knew she had an exceptional opportunity. The doctoral student in oceanography at Rutgers was remotely piloting a robotic glider to measure and record data from underneath the ocean’s surface. Her glider—one of 40 yellow, torpedo-shaped battery powered unmanned...
