MPOWIR is a community-based program that provides mentoring to early-career physical oceanographers. The overall goal of MPOWIR is to reduce the barriers to career development for all junior scientists in the field, with a particular focus on improving the retention of junior women.

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 analysing observations and models.

Diversity

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.
