Department of Ocean Sciences
The Ocean Sciences Center is Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador's cold ocean research facility.
Our department is dedicated to advancing groundbreaking research in key areas, including the North Atlantic fishery, sustainable aquaculture, oceanography, and the ecology, behaviour, and physiology of diverse marine organisms. With cutting-edge laboratories and a prime coastal location, we are uniquely positioned to tackle pressing global challenges such as climate change, marine conservation, and sustainable seafood production.
Whether you're a prospective student, researcher, or partner, the Department of Ocean Sciences invites you to join a vibrant community committed to pioneering ocean innovation and safeguarding marine ecosystems for future generations. We also offer summer marine public education programs for tourists, school children, and local visitors.
