WHOI scientists document changes in the Gulf Stream using two decades of measurements from Argo floats and Spray underwater gliders
Woods Hole, MA (Oct. 9, 2023) – The Gulf Stream is intrinsic to the global climate system, bringing warm waters from […]
The Gulf Stream – which is a major ocean current off the U.S. East Coast and a part of the North Atlantic Ocean circulation – plays an important role in weather and climate, and a weakening could have significant implications.
Heather Benway, a senior research specialist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) is the recipient of the 2023 Ocean Science Award from the American Geological Union (AGU).
These new techniques, which look at microbes and dissolved metabolites of reefs, offer a new means to examine reef features and have broad conservation applications.
The OOI collects and serves measurements from more than 900 autonomous instruments on the seafloor and on moored and free-swimming platforms.
The award recognizes individuals who “materially increase the public’s knowledge of chemistry, chemical engineering, and related fields.”
WHOI researchers are among the 17 projects that have been awarded funding by NOAA’s Ocean Acidification Program on behalf of the National Oceanographic Partnership Program (NOPP).
