主要研究 今天

联合国大学研究和探索海洋的能力即将扩大, thanks to its inclusion in a new high-profile oceanographic consortium based in New England.

“The efficiencies gained through this collaboration will have long-term impact on our ability to better understand our oceans 和ir impact on our lives.”

联合国大学参与新成立的 东海岸海洋学协会 will provide its scientists and graduate students with access to another research vessel and opportunities for further scientific collaboration. The consortium convenes three major institutions — the University of Rhode Island’s 研究生院 of Oceanography, 主要研究 和 Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution — along with 11 associate member institutions and universities with a shared goal to expand collaborative marine research and education opportunities among consortium members. The consortium members will take over operations of the R / V努力, 它是基于URI的, 在余下的岁月里. 与此同时, consortium members will submit a proposal to operate a new regional class research vessel.

“The consortium offers the opportunity for an already dynamic community of East Coast marine scientists to work more closely together,拉里·梅耶尔说, 教授和主任 海洋科学与海洋工程学院 和 海岸和海洋测绘中心 在中. “The efficiencies gained through this collaboration will have long-term impact on our ability to better understand our oceans 和ir impact on our lives.”

直接, hands-on access to the new research vessel will enable 主要研究 to contribute to a well-trained workforce of ocean-going scientists able to drive the next generation of ocean science questions and initiatives, 马克·米卢蒂诺维奇说, 主要研究大型中心发展主任.

“This high-profile consortium effort recognizes 主要研究’s world-class capabilities in ocean mapping and visualization, 海洋学, 海洋生物学和海洋工程,米卢蒂诺维奇补充道.
