Rutgers Oceanographers Prepare to Take the Helm at Sea

Two early-career scientists will lead an international team on a 25-day expedition the Atlantic Ocean

Oceanographers Joe Gradone and Corday Selden are preparing to step into the most consequential assignment of their careers so far.

On Aug. 7, they will board the research vessel Falkor (too) in Bridgetown, Barbados. Two days later, the ship will leave port, carrying Gradone and Selden into the Atlantic Ocean as co-chief scientists leading an international team of 19 scientists on a 25-day research expedition.

Oceanography graduate student Nikki Nikolova is aboard the research vessel RV Solander on the Northwest Shelf of Australia as part of the U.S. NSF-funded MINTIE project (Measuring and Modeling the Indonesian Throughflow International Experiment). Nikki is pictured at left with the science party from WHOI, Scripps and CSIRO, Australia, that this week successfully deployed an array of 6 moorings to observe the impact of internal waves emanating from Lombok Strait, Indonesia, on the continental shelf. Nikki's thesis research, with MINTIE co-investigators John Wilkin and Javier Zavala-Garay, will use a high-resolution model, supported by data from the moorings that she helped deploy, to study the dynamics of flow in the Indonesian passages.

There was a Rutgers reunion in Portland last week!

Mitaali Taskar (DMCS), Dena Seidel (SEBS Science in Action Storytelling Lab), Xenia Morin (Department of Plant Biology), and Amy Plantarich (Jacques Cousteau National Estuarine Research Reserve) all attended the Association of Science Communicator’s annual conference ‘Wayfinding: Charting a Decade of Dialogue’.

The days were full of learning about the landscape and thinking about Rutgers' past, present, and future in this space!
