Marine Technology Society Names EOAS’ Travis Miles Recipient of the 2018 Ocean News and Technology Young Professional Award
The award reflects Miles’ work using ocean sensory technology to understand hurricane intensity and determine the ocean’s role in modulating hurricane energy. By Carol Peters The Marine Technology Society (MTS) has named Travis Miles, a faculty member in the Rutgers Institute of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences (EOAS), the recipient of the 2018 Ocean News and Technology Young Professional Award. The …
Rutgers Sandy Operation Helps Forecasters Predict Severe Storms, Saving Livelihood Worldwide
Researchers continue to advance hurricane science, leading to increased forecast accuracy and lead times. As Superstorm Sandy approached the New Jersey coastline, a single Rutgers glider deployed off Tuckerton by hurricane scientists at Rutgers University Center for Ocean Observing Leadership (RUCOOL), provided an ominous warning. The water mass known as the “Mid-Atlantic cold pool”– an area of cool water off the coast that traditionally …
Rutgers Part of New Consortium Awarded $5.4 Million to Improve Operational Forecasting in the Gulf of Mexico
Scott Glenn, Rutgers Board of Governors Professor of Marine and Coastal Sciences, is the Rutgers lead, and Travis Miles, assistant professor in the Department of Marine and Coastal Sciences, is the Rutgers co-PI, on a $5.4 million award to establish the Gulf Consortium for Offshore Risk Reduction Engaging Stakeholders (GulfCORES). GulfCORES is one of three consortia to receive a five-year, …

A New Way to Predict Sea Breezes May Benefit Offshore Wind Farms
Rutgers-led team uses new technique to make wind a more reliable energy source. By Todd Bates The proposed, multimillion-dollar offshore wind farms industry may benefit from a Rutgers-led study that used sophisticated forecasting to understand sea breezes and make them a more predictable source of energy. The behavior of offshore sea breezes, and how the ocean influences them, have largely …
Lessons from Sandy: Hurricanes Behaving Oddly
New revelations from Rutgers-New Brunswick scientists’ deployment of a submersible, data-collecting robot in advance of Superstorm Sandy Five years ago next month, four days before Superstorm Sandy made landfall in New Jersey, Rutgers University-New Brunswick marine scientists launched a data-collecting, submersible robot glider in front of the massive storm. Their paper on the data gathered by that swimming robot – published recently in the Journal …
