 Coastal
Ocean Institute
The Coastal Ocean Institute (COI) and Rinehart Coastal Research Center promote
scientific inquiry into phenomena that shape our coastal waters
and ecosystems, encouraging innovative, interdisciplinary
research and high-risk technology development. We also strive
to translate the results of this basic research for citizens
and policymakers, while providing a solid information base
for resource managers. |
 Deep
Ocean Exploration Institute
The Deep Ocean Exploration Institute (DOEI) supports research
in a diversity of oceanographic, geological, and technology
fields all aimed at better understanding the dynamic planetary
processes occurring in the deep ocean and within Earth’s
interior. These intertwined processes are the pulse of planet
Earth. |
 Ocean
and Climate Change Institute
Pursuing greater understanding of the ocean’s role
in climate change, the Ocean and Climate Change Institute
(OCCI) launched support for a number of new research projects,
one new OCCI fellow, and a graduate research assistant. The
Institute also provided continued support for ongoing fellows
and projects. |
 Ocean
Life Institute
During 2005, The Ocean Life Institute (OLI) continued to foster
research and hardware development under three broad themes:
Discover Life, Sustain Ecosystems, and Develop Tools. |
