Research Initiatives

Research Areas
Center for Integrated Ocean Observations (CINTOO)

CINTOO is part of an international collaboration of oceanographers and climate scientists. Their goal is to better understand the biological, chemical and physical processes that take place in the ocean, and the ocean's role in regulating the Earth's climate.

International Center for Ocean and Human Health (ICOHH)

ICOHH is an initiative designed to address both the health of the ocean and health from the ocean on an international scale. Scientists investigate such areas as ecotoxicology, coral reefs and fisheries, pollution threats, mariculture, and genomics.

Risk Prediction Initiative (RPI)

RPI is an innovative science-business partnership that helps businesses better understand, assess and manage climate-related risks. RPI's goal is to facilitate a working relationship between climate scientists and the (re)insurance industry.
