Unless stated otherwise, Physical Oceanography Seminars take place at 10:30am on Fridays in the Corless auditorium. Biology at Noon events will take place on Wednesdays at 12:00 p.m. in the Coastal Institute Auditorium.

Each week, before the Physical Oceanography Seminars, we display a "Technology Tentacle", a highlight of an online technology that could potentially be useful or interesting to us as scientists. You can find this week's Tentacle with an archive of previous ones here: http://www.gso.uri.edu/technology-tentacles
