The Marine Science Center at the Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science at the University of Miami in the United States. This is a list of oceanography institutions and programs worldwide. Oceanographic institutions and programs are broadly defined as places where scientific research is carried out relating to oceanography.
Jamieson's early scientific work focussed largely on technology-driven studies into deep-sea fish behaviour and pelagic bioluminescence.He completed two EU funded postdocs, the first a sediment dynamics project named COBO (Coastal Ocean Benthic Observatories [10]), that involved the design and construction of a deep-water Sediment Profile Imaging camera (SPI), the second was an astrophysics ...
R/V Atlantis, the first research vessel operated by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, pictured here in 1955 near the Virgin Islands [6]. In 1927, a National Academy of Sciences committee concluded that it was time to "consider the share of the United States of America in a worldwide program of oceanographic research."
Johnson received her B.S. in 1993 in marine science from Texas A&M University-Galveston, where she became the very first African American student body president. [4] She received her Ph.D. in oceanography from Texas A&M University in 1999. [5]
Munk's career in oceanography and geophysics touched on disparate and innovative topics. A pattern of Munk's work was that he would initiate a completely new topic; ask challenging, fundamental questions about the subject and its larger meaning; and then, having created an entirely new sub-field of science, move on to another new topic.
Douglas Lamar Inman (July 7, 1920 – February 11, 2016) was a professor of Oceanography at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography.. Born in Guam, the Marianas Islands, he received his B.A in physics/geology in 1942 from California State University, San Diego (now San Diego State University), his M.S. (in 1948) and Ph.D. (in 1953) in oceanography from the University of California, Los Angeles.
