Assessment of Movement Patterns and Critical Habitat for Coastal and Continental Shelf Small Cetaceans in the Gulf of Mexico using Newly Developed Remote Satellite Tagging Techniques, PI Michael Moore, WHOI The objectives of this project are (1) to develop a new and innovative tool to remotely attach telemetry devices to monitor the movement, behavior, and…

Data Synthesis and Reporting: Improving the Understanding of Ocean Acidification in a Multi-stressor Environment, PI Saba, Rutgers The interaction of ocean acidification (OA) and warming seawater temperature may act to exacerbate organism stress responses. This highlights the need to synthesize available multi-stressor data to better understand their interactive dynamics in the NES, particularly in habitat…

Co-Development of a Profiling Dual-Parameter Carbonate Chemistry Sensor to Enhance Monitoring of Ocean Acidification, PI Zhaohui Aleck Wang, WHOI The Channelized Optical System II (CHANOS II), designed by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) is deployed on towed vehicles and CTD packages among on-going research surveys to make high-resolution in situ measurements of multiple CO2 system parameters in a…

Distributed Biological Observatory – Northern Chukchi Integrated Study, PI Robert Pickart, WHOI The Ocean Reference Station (ORS) project provides sustained observations at three stations in a key region of the ocean – the trade wind region – using surface moorings to collect accurate observations at the sea surface and in the water column. The project…
