Adopt-A-Float program lets grade-school students participate in a major scientific study of the vast Southern Ocean.

Pulses of sinking debris carry large amounts of carbon to the deep seafloor, but are poorly represented in global climate models.

Deep in the Gulf of California MBARI researchers watched shrimp "play dead" by hanging motionless in the water. They speculate that the shrimp do this to avoid being eaten.

Scientists know that the ocean is taking up a lot of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Marine chemist Andrea Fassbender is bringing this process into focus by studying how carbon moves between the atmosphere, upper ocean, and deep sea.

Oceangoing robots are taking on ever-more complicated tasks and ushering in a technology revolution in oceanography, transforming the everyday work of ocean researchers.

Building on their 2015 expedition, MBARI researchers will be mapping the Pescadero Basin and searching for hydrothermal vents.

MBARI engineers recently tested a new long-range autonomous underwater vehicle that is designed to detect and track oil spills.

A new paper shows that currents in submarine canyons often involve large-scale movement of the seafloor. This discovery could help ocean engineers avoid damage to pipelines, communications cables, and other seafloor structures.

MBARI and the Monterey Bay Aquarium co-host symposium that is bringing together researchers from at least 34 countries.

MBARI and Monterey Bay Aquarium leaders will be participating in the Global Climate Action Summit in San Francisco.

Researchers from MBARI and the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration are testing a new underwater robot that will swim around Lake Erie monitoring algae and toxins in the water.

Data from a network of robotic floats carrying high-tech sensors suggest the Southern Ocean may take up much less carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than expected.

Software developed by MBARI engineers guided a sea-going robot as it monitored the plume of hot seawater created by an active lava flow in Hawai`i.

The Society for Sedimentary Geology recently awarded MBARI Geologist Charles Paull the Francis P. Shepard medal for marine geology.

MBARI welcomed visitors to its annual Open House on July 21st. Visitors got the opportunity to speak to staff about their work and learn about the research and development conducted at MBARI.

A recent paper in ScienceRobotics describes a new bio-inspired sampling system that was tested using MBARI's remotely operated vehicle Ventana.

For 15 years, EARTH workshops have brought scientists and teachers together to develop lesson plans using real science data.

A team of MBARI scientists is monitoring abalones under carefully controlled environmental conditions for two months to learn more about how these animals will fare in future ocean conditions.

A new paper in Nature Microbiology describes cutting edge experiments and genomic techniques showing how microscopic marine algae acclimate to changing ocean conditions.
