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.

On 19 May 2026, scientists, ocean modellers, navigators, and ocean observation experts came together to continue a unique mission: recovering an underwater robot that had sustained unexpected damage during an unprecedented global journey. The story began in October 2025, when Redwing, a new-generation autonomous ocean glider, slipped beneath the surface...
Penguins waddling across Antarctic ice might seem far removed from a classroom in New Jersey, but a new study shows that these charismatic birds can be a powerful hook for teaching young people about climate change — and inspiring them to see themselves as future scientists. The study was led...
Researchers from Rutgers University presented a suite of advances in ocean observing, telemetry integration, and coastal modeling at the 2026 Atlantic Cooperative Telemetry Network meeting on March 30–31, 2026. Among the featured presentations, graduate student Jacob A. Kuenzli delivered “Identifying the oceanographic and environmental drivers of elasmobranch presence and distribution...
