Rutgers University Center for Ocean Observing Leadership - RUCOOL. Researching bio-physical-Chemical processes of coastal waters off New Jersey and around the World.
Two Slocum gliders were deployed today out of Manasquan inlet. The project is funded by the NJ Research Monitoring Initiative. These gliders will be collecting loads of water data, plus giving us insight into why several whale species are and are not in sampled locations off our coast.
Congrats to Kay Bidle on receiving the Center for Advancing Research Impact in Society (ARIS) Impact Innovations Award!

MS of Operational Oceanography (MOO) students recently visited Ocean Power Technologies (OPT) in Monroe, NJ to learn about OPT’s diverse marine technologies & their applications. Our hosts detailed the capabilities of their WAM-V autonomous surface vehicles & their wave-powered PowerBuoy platforms.
Congrats to RUCOOL's Teemer Barry on receiving a 2026 Knauss Fellowship!!

RUCOOL partnered with Monmouth U., NREL & SIOW to write a report on possible "Offshore Wind Farm Contributions to a Regional Environmental & Ecological Monitoring System to Address Multi-User Needs." This report was funded by the NJDEP & NJBPU under the NJRMI. dspace.njstatelib.org/items/7db399...
Congrats to our graduate students and undergraduate interns who were awarded outstanding presentation awards at the MidAtlantic Chapter meeting of the American Fisheries Society. Sam, Danielle, Fiona and Maya... AWESOME Job!
Cargo ships need speed. Can AI reroute them to save the whales?
There are roughly 370 North Atlantic right whales left on the planet, and they are vanishing fast. Could underwater robots and AI help reroute cargo ships to prevent their extinction?

Underwater robots to predict ocean weather during hurricanes

Brian, Lori and Ashley were out yesterday deploying two gliders for the NJ Research Monitoring Initiative. The gliders will collecgt data for the next month off NJ on temp, salinity, oxygen, pH, phytoplankton, zooplankton locations, fish/mammal tag tracking, and listening for whale calls.
A close up of the anti remora mesh
RU38 has been in the Gulf of Mexico the last month to help with hurricane intensity forecasts. We covered the hull with a plastic mesh that keeps remora in the Gulf off the glider. Remora
can end the mission as it makes the glider too heavy. Just another challenge of operating AUVs in the ocean.
Captain Chip was up early this morning prepping for a oceanography class trip on the mighty Raritan. The RU Crew team was also up. Good thing we have a thermal camera on board to see them!
Last weekend, RUCOOL welcomed the NJ Governor's STEM Scholars program. These are some of the best and brightest high school student's in our state. Even asked me a couple of questions I had trouble answering! Smart kids!

John Wilkin is 2025 AGU Edward A. Flinn III Award Recipient
The award is given annually to mid-career or senior scientists, either individually or in a small group, who personifies AGU’s motto ‘unselfish cooperation in research’ through their facilitating, coordinating, & implementing activities.
The crew from RanMarine Technology was visiting RUCOOL today. They deployed a WasteShark in Passion Puddle and picked up some floating trash along with pesky algae. Thanks for helping us clean up our favorite pond!
RUCOOL's Alex Lopez Receives the John P. Craven Mentor Award from the Marine Technology Society
This award is conferred upon an MTS member who has demonstrated outstanding and sustained service to the field of marine technology through mentorship.
Congrats Alex!!
