 Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Program (GFD)The GFD Program began in 1959 at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution with the aim of introducing a then relatively new topic in mathematical physics, geophysical fluid dynamics, to graduate students in physical sciences. » Visit Web site  Oceanic Flux Program (OFP)Since 1978, the Oceanic Flux Program (OFP) time-series sediment traps have continuously measured particle fluxes in the deep Sargasso Sea. The OFP program is by far the longest time-series of its kind, and has produced a unique record of temporal variability in the "biological pump". » Visit Web site  Ridge Inter Disciplinary Global Experiment (Ridge 2000)RIDGE 2000 is a community-based science initiative focused on integrated geological and biological studies of the Earth-encircling mid-ocean ridge system » Visit Web site  U.S. GLOBEC Georges Bank ProgramThe U.S. GLOBEC Georges Bank Program is a large multi- disciplinary multi-year oceanographic effort. The proximate goal is to understand the population dynamics of key species on the Bank. » Visit Web site  U.S Joint Ocean Global Flux Study (JGOFS) The U.S. launched the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS) in the late 1980s to study the ocean carbon cycle. An ambitious goal was set to understand the controls on the concentrations and fluxes of carbon and associated nutrients in the ocean. » Visit Web site  The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) Sea Grant ProgramThe Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) Sea Grant Program supports research, education, and extension projects that encourage environmental stewardship, long-term economic development, and responsible use of the nation’s coastal and ocean resources. » Visit Web site Last updated: November 9, 2009 | |||||||||||||
