Bears in the Igloo. RU39 and RU40 for the Spring RMI, and RU32 for NJDEP have been recovered by Brian, Jess, and Delphine aboard SeaTow on a nice sunny day in Atlantic City!

Congrats to our Masters of Operational Oceanography students for completing their degrees today. First up was the public poster session, followed by the tough Q/A session with their professors, led by Alex Lopez. Sophie, Charlotte, Nick, Sal, Scott, Trivik and Jesse… WELL DONE!

Congrats to Joe Gradone – Walter Munk Scholar Award and Commemorative Lecture!

It's been a busy field work week here at RUCOOL. We've been working on upgrading our MARACOOS HF-Radar systems used for US Coast Guard Search & Rescue, deploying a glider in Martinique that is looking for whales, and had multiple glider recoveries in NJ. @rutgerssebs @sebsrutgers

Nicole & Lori recovered our gliders RU39 & RU40 today, that were funded by the #NJDEP & #NJBPU Research Monitoring Initiative. The gliders recorded data on temperature, salinity, depth, oxygen, phytoplankton, pH, fish/mammal tags and recorded whale songs. LOTS of data to analyze!

Congratulations to Joe Gradone who successfully completed his PhD!!! Joe provided insights in the transport and heat budget for the Caribbean, acritical but under sampled ocean region that is the fuel engine for hurricanes in the western Atlantic. Great work Dr. Gradone.

The Oceanography Graduate Student Association was named the Graduate Student Organization of the Year for the third year in a row!

Post-Doc Wants to Help People Understand Hurricanes and Improve Prediction of Dangerous Storms rucool.marine.rutgers.edu/post-doc-wants…

Members of our RUCOOL Team were at the Mid-Atlantic Chapter of the American Fisheries Society meeting here in New Brunswick this week presenting posters & talks on their research. You are looking at the next generation of ocean scientists! @rutgerssebs #rutgersexcellence

It was a beautiful day for the glider team to recover not 1, but 4 gliders yesterday! Thx to Dave, Nicole, Jess, Brian & Chip all four were recovered. Grad students Becca & Sam joined us. RU40, RU32, RU39 and maracoos01 had a few friends hanging on when we pulled them out.

Join us for a commemorative lecture from Joe Gradone, who is the 2024 recipient of the Walter Munk Scholar Award from the Marine Technology Society (MTS) and the Walter Munk Foundation for the Oceans. register.gotowebinar.com/register/84641…

Rutgers Science Webinar Plunges Into Ocean Exploration with More Than 265 Students rutgers.edu/news/rutgers-s…

RU Marine Sciences, the Clement Price Inst at RU Newark, and the Ramapough Culture & Land Foundation will offer two 1 week long residential workshops at Liberty State Park, the weeks of June 16-20, 2025 or June 23-27, 2025. humanities.marine.rutgers.edu

Glider MARACOOS04 was recovered today by Jess and Capt. Chip off of Tuckerton, NJ. NYSERDA funded this deployment researching the physics and biology of the ocean in offshore wind lease areas, as well as listening for whales. There were PLENTY of fin and humpback whales detected!

RUCOOL's Josh Kohut has accepted the position of SEBS Dean of Research / NJAES Director of Research!. Congrats!

Ethan was up in the early hours on Monday enjoying the moon set & sun rise while deploying one of our ocean gliders to help #ørsted avoid working around active cod stacks off Martha's Vineyard. Thx to the Mister G crew out of Point Judith RI for helping us with the deployment.

Ethan was at the @maracoos_ioos funded #CODAR HF-Radar site in Cape May today. The ice on Delaware bay has melted a bit in the last few days. It's hard to measure surface currents when the water is covered with ice! @rutgersresearch @rutgerssebs

ZOOPLANKTON AND OFFSHORE WIND: DRIFTERS IN A SEA OF UNCERTAINTY doi.org/10.5670/oceano….

Masters student Matt Learn was teaching a class this morning, and on the beach with Ethan at Holgate this afternoon moving our CODAR HF-Radar antenna that's used to support US Coast Guard Search and Rescue amongst many other research efforts. Busy day! Rutgers SEBS MARACOOS

Oscar and Jess deployed Slocum Glider RU44 this morning just northeast of Cebu City, Philippines, with funding from #seaforestation.co. RU44 and its 5 diver friends are on a mission to study carbon sequestration by underwater seaweed farms. @rutgerssebs
