UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

Our vision is to maintain an interdisciplinary and integrated group of researchers focused on essential elements of the ocean ecosystem, and a group that provides a strong teaching and research role in the Ocean Sciences in support of UNH graduate and undergraduate students. OPAL currently comprises seven faculty members (two tenure track), three affiliate faculty, five full-time research scientists, associated staff, and both graduate and undergraduate students. Our expertise encompasses a range of ocean research areas including ocean remote sensing, coupled physical-biochemical interactions, the ocean carbon cycle, Gulf of Maine monitoring systems, coastal physical oceanography, trace metals and contaminant release from sediments, fishery sustainability and applied fisheries research, and air-sea interaction. Three focus areas of synergy and critical mass are ocean remote sensing, coastal processes, and ocean biogeochemistry. Future growth is desired in terms of gaining several new..
