Overview

About the program

Oceanography program faculty and students at the University of Delaware conduct research on physical, geological, biological and chemical problems in estuarine, coastal and marine environments. Historically, the program’s focus has been estuarine, coastaland continental shelf studies in the mid-Atlantic region.

Our research studies have made the nearby Delaware, Chesapeake and Delmarva coastal bays some of the most extensively studied estuaries in the world. In addition, faculty and students have had increasing interests in issues related to global environmental change in a number of other regions of the world.
