I'm Doug Biggs, and I'm a professor of oceanography at Texas A&M University. Recently, I and a dozen other Texas-based oceanographers and marine mammal biologists and our graduate students worked to study the distribution and abundance of sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) in the northern Gulf of Mexico.

		I'm Mary-Elena Carr and I am a biological oceanographer at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. I have been working with data from satellites to monitor the effect of El Niño and seasonal change on primary productivity and fish stocks. Find out more...
		Hello I am Frank Carsey of Caltech's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. My research specialty for the past 20 years has been ice-covered oceans in the Earth's polar regions, but now I am doing something new. I am studying planetary ice, primarily the ice on the polar caps of Mars and Europa. Find out more...
		I'm Dudley Chelton and I am a professor of oceanography at Oregon State University in Corvallis, Oregon. One of the things that I have been studying is the sudden outburst of gale-force and sometimes hurricane-force winds that occur about a dozen times a year during the fall, winter and spring at three places along the Pacific side of Central America. Find out more...
		I'm Kevin Conley and I work with a marine oceanography project called Sidney Pier Artificial Reef Science in Canada. This is a really fun project for me because I studied biology and I like working with oceans and with people; plus it’s great to be doing something for the environment. Find out more...
		I'm Annette deCharon and although I too am an oceanographer, I enjoy my role as an "interpreter", for non-oceanographers, of ocean-related scientific research. My job is made much easier by the Internet, which is revolutionizing the way we communicate and access timely information. Find out more ...
		My name is Paul DiGiacomo and I am a graduate student at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) working toward a Ph.D. in Biology. I also work at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California, where I interact with many physical, biological, and polar oceanographers. Find out more ...
		I'm Mark Drinkwater from the European Space Agency's Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC) in Noordwijk, The Netherlands. I work in the field of oceanography to understand how and why the sea-ice around Antarctica changes with seasons. Find out more ...
		I'm Phil Dustan and I’m a reef ecologist. This means that I study coral reefs and how they respond to their environment, which consists of the ocean, sunlight, nutrients and pollutants. I find this work incredibly fascinating and I feel very lucky that my life has gone in this direction. Find out more ...
		I'm Ben Holt and my research is in polar oceanography. I use satellite data to study the frozen seas in the Arctic and Antarctic. Mostly I work in my comfortable office examining satellite images of the polar regions from my computer terminal. Occasionally I have taken field trips to different locations in the Arctic to study sea ice “up close and personal”. Find out more ...
		I'm Claire Perigaud and I work with a team of oceanographers at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in California. Our goal is to understand how the oceans interact with the atmosphere to trigger events such the 1997/98 El Niño. Find out more ...
		Hi, I am Will Sager and I teach oceanography at Texas A&M University. One of the things I do is study sediments and rock on and under the ocean floor. An important way to do this is by working with the Ocean Drilling Program (ODP), a program that uses a large ship with an oil well drilling rig to bring up samples from the ocean floor. Find out more ...
		I'm Jim Swift and I work with a team of oceanographers at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in San Diego, California. I consider myself to be a classical large-scale oceanographer because I go out on research ship cruises and make measurements of large-scale ocean properties all over the world (but especially in the Arctic Ocean). Find out more ...
		I'm Jorge Vazquez-Cuervo and I am a physical oceanographer at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. I work with another oceanographer, Elisa Garcia-Gorriz [Fig. 1], to understand the circulation and seasonal fluctuations in the Mediterranean Sea and off the east coast of the United States. Find out more ...
		I'm Jeannette van den Bosch and I am a specialized type of oceanographer: an expert in sensor calibration/validation. Calibration/validation is the process of making sure that the data that is collected by an airborne or spaceborne sensor provides accurate information about the atmosphere and the earth's surface. Find out more ...
		Greetings! I'm Mark Williams from the Wallops Flight Facility located on Virginia's Eastern Shore. I work with a team of experimenters headed by Dr. Frank Hoge, who work with NASA's Airborne Oceanographic Lidar, a remote sensing instrument generally referred to as simply as the AOL. Find out more ...
		I am Victor Zlotnicki, a physical oceanographer at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. I look at how the ocean works using data from satellites. Find out more ...
