Oceans at MIT

We are a group of researchers dedicated to understanding, protecting, and harnessing the world’s least explored and most vital frontier—the ocean. We represent diverse fields, departments, and perspectives, but through interdisciplinary research and education programs, we are making important progress in understanding the roles that the oceans play in supporting life on Earth. Oceans at MIT is part of the MIT Global Environmental Initiative, which is developing sustainable solutions for the planet’s growing population.
