Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science

The Rosenstiel School welcomed 60 scientists, researchers, and data experts for the 2026 International Ocean Vector Winds Science Team meeting.

The gathering brought together leaders in ocean wind science to share advances in satellite observations, air-sea interaction research, and the tools used to better understand how winds shape ocean and atmospheric processes.

By looking at Gulf toadfish and their gut microbes, researchers are uncovering new clues about how biology, chemistry, and symbiosis intersect in the production of ocean carbonates.

A new Rosenstiel School-led study is revealing hidden details of ocean chemistry using data from autonomous Biogeochemical-Argo floats.

Led by Mariana Bif, lead author of the study and an assistant professor in the Department of Ocean Sciences at the Rosenstiel School, the research team developed a new way to detect subtle chemical signals in seawater from sensors originally designed to measure nitrate.

The findings show that nitrogen cycling in low-oxygen ocean regions is far more dynamic than previously thought, offering scientists a clearer view of the microbial processes that influence ocean productivity, nutrient cycling, and ocean health.
