Research

In the Beal lab we strive to improve understanding of the ocean’s role in climate and climate change by measuring ocean currents and their properties, and by analyzing observations and models.

Diversity and Outreach

A diverse community of oceanographers benefits science and society by enabling all talented persons to excel and contribute. 

Global Ocean Observing

Establishing an ocean observing system that serves societal needs for forecasting and prediction of climate change and its impacts is a global challenge that requires all nations working together.
