RORE

A new Center of Excellence for Research on Offshore Renewable Energy (RORE) is now in place at URI. This Center coordinates and expands research in this area that is conducted at the Graduate School of Oceanography (GSO) and the Colleges of Environment and Life Sciences (CELS), Engineering (COE), and Arts and Sciences. (CAS). The vision of this new Center is to advance R&D in the areas of offshore wind, current, wave, and thermal energy to position the State of Rhode Island as the national leader in ocean energy. URI is ideally

Long-term Research

There are several long-term data sets collected and maintained by GSO and available online.

Research Initiatives

The scientific research carried out at GSO focuses on expanding our civilization's knowledge of interactions of the Earth's basic systems. This is being achieved through the application of faculty and marine scientists expertise to pursue cutting-edge research and technology that will make major contributions to the understanding of the Earth's geosphere, atmosphere, biosphere and hydrosphere.

Examples of major initiatives are:

Overview

The faculty, marine scientists, and technical staff of the Graduate School of Oceanography conduct research in all four of the major disciplines, geological (including archaeological oceanography), biological, physical, and chemical oceanography (including atmospheric chemistry). Many studies are multidisciplinary.
