🦈CARNIVORES &🌊OUR COAST: A once in a lifetime experience, UNC IMS let me aboard their longest running shark research vessel. 🦈😱I even got to toss back a tagged shark! I was filled with gratitude as he swam away, hoping he's bringing us back some data. QCN Weather

After seeing Hurricane Ivan's effects on her childhood neighborhood, Anne Smiley's interest in how storms affect coastal ecology piqued. See how Smiley's research with UNC IMS can inform the future of water quality, coastal ecosystems and storm resilience unc.live/3RzsLkW

Get to know Janet Nye lab PhD student Sally Dowd. Can’t wait to see everything she does here at UNC’s marine lab!

We’re so lucky to have Madison here at Carolina’s marine lab for the semester!

#UNC graduate student Sally Dowd fell in love with the ocean during family trips to Wilmington as a kid. Learn about Dowd's journey to UNC IMS and how she's working to understand how ocean warming affects fish populations in coastal regions unc.live/3SVwNpc

We love being your “phone a friend” Elisa Raffa! Call us anytime you need ocean info!

Awesome time hosting undergrads from St. Augustine’s University this weekend ⁦UNC IMS⁩ ⁦UNC Dept of Earth, Marine & Environmental Sciences. First cannonball jellyfish for them AND me! Looking forward to discovering more with⁩ Saint Augustine's University⁩

Each lab group has been organizing an event each month to celebrate IMS’ 75th anniversary. We had a blast pumpkin carving and getting some fresh air at the Noble and Paerl lab’s event on Friday!
