Overview Leading edge research on marine systems spans physical, chemical, biological and geological oceanography, and includes the investigation of coastal-zone processes and systems, as well as studies of the ocean’s role in climate variability and change. In addition to research capabilities located on the Georgia Tech campus, faculty and students can capitalize on cutting edge facilities available at the Skidaway Institute of Oceanography in Savannah, GA, a unit of the University System of Georgia. Existing projects encompass physical and biological modeling, field studies, sensor development, remote sensing and paleoceanographic reconstruction of past climates. Research is conducted in both the coastal zone and open ocean, and current regions of interest include the Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean, the Arctic, the Gulf of Alaska, the Labrador Sea, the Gulf of Mexico, the South Atlantic bight.
