The URI Graduate School of Oceanography is located on the University’s 200-acre Narragansett Bay Campus. On Narragansett Bay’s West Passage, with a deep-water pier and easy access to the open Atlantic, the campus offers an ideal location from which to explore the world ocean. Members of the GSO community meet research challenges that confront the nation and the world. GSO faculty and facilities address such issues as climate change, hurricanes, pollution, fisheries depletion, and the need for new technology for undersea research and exploration.
