Institute of Marine and Coastal Sciences

Institute of Marine and Coastal Sciences

The Institute of Marine and Coastal Sciences (IMCS) focuses on marine science-related education and research. IMCS was founded in 1993 on the Cook Campus at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey. IMCS is the home of LEO-15, more formally known as the Long-term Ecosystem Observatory. IMCS faculty Rich Lutz and Peter Rona were science director's for the imax film Volcanoes of the Deep Sea which was co-produced by Rutgers University

History

The Institute of Marine and Coastal Sciences was founded on the Cook Campus at Rutgers University in 1993 with Dr. Fred Grassle as its first director.

Education

* Undergraduate - B.A. in Marine Science
* Graduate - M.Sc. Oceanography, M.Sc. Operational Oceanography, PhD. Oceanography

Research

While oceanography is traditionally sub-categorized into "biological", "chemical", "geological", and "physical" areas of research, IMCS maintains a focus on inter-disciplinary research. While courses specific to each of these sub-specialities are offered, IMCS students and faculty work on answering complex questions that require a cooperation and sharing of information without regard for the traditional boundaries of oceanography. The Coastal Ocean Observation Lab at IMCS has worked closely to evolve an increasingly sophisticated suite of observational tools since the initial LEO15 study. In particular, the COOL group has helped to develop and test high-frequency radar and underwater glider technologies.
