The goal of the fellowship is to provide recipients the greatest possible flexibility to pursue their professional vision in the absence of specific obligations or reporting requirements.
A new, integrated system will enable ocean science, exploration, and restoration efforts from a wider range of vessels, paving the way for more successful and efficient operations
A newly published article spells out the work needed to assess the potential of ocean iron fertilization as a low cost, scalable, and rapidly deployable method of mCDR.
Designed to provide seed funding for innovative research and technology projects, this endowed fund will accelerate ocean science and engineering, spur innovation, and strengthen WHOI鈥檚 position at the forefront of ocean science and engineering for the global good.
The Department of Commerce and NOAA has announced $27 million in funding for projects to prevent and remove marine debris in coastal and Great Lakes communities as part of President Biden鈥檚 Investing in America agenda, under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
WHOI and the University of the Virgin Islands entered into a MOU extending their working partnership in the exploration and protection of the world鈥檚 oceans.
In summer of 2022, a research cruise detected a massive harmful algal bloom (HAB) in the Bering Strait region of western Alaska. This expedition provided a dramatic example of science utilizing new technology to track a neurotoxic HAB, and effectively communicate information that protects remote coastal communities in real-time.
A new study reveals that the rare Desertas Petrels, a wide-ranging seabird in the North Atlantic, exhibit unique foraging behaviors during hurricane season.
A new study investigates how the influence of low gravity, as found on ocean worlds in our solar system, impacts flows of water and heat below their seafloors.
MIT, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution researchers find wave activity on Saturn鈥檚 largest moon may be strong enough to erode the coastlines of lakes and seas.
In June 1964, the world鈥檚 first deep-diving submersible dedicated to scientific research was commissioned. What have we learned over the past 60 years?
New research shows how tiny plant-like organisms hitch a ride on ocean currents to reach darker and deeper depths, where they impact carbon cycling and microbial dynamics in the subtropical oceans.
Human activities account for a substantial amount - anywhere from 20% to more than 60% - of toxic thallium that has entered the Baltic Sea over the past 80 years, according to new research by scientists affiliated with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and other institutions.
