Last week, MBARI released its 2021 Annual Report. The online report provides a visually rich, multimedia view highlighting some of MBARI’s latest research and technology developments.
David Packard founded MBARI in 1987 to establish a new type of oceanographic institution—one where scientists and engineers worked side-by-side—because he believed the ocean was the most important frontier we have left. The 2021 report showcases some of last year’s unique collaborations that brought the expertise of our science, engineering, marine operations, and communications teams together to further our mission to understand a changing ocean.
Learn how the MBARI team has used innovative autonomous robots to gain important insight into the cycling of carbon—information critical to improving our understanding of the role of the ocean in climate change. Explore unique initiatives at MBARI that leverage sound and drifting bits of genetic material to build a more comprehensive picture of ocean health. Dive into MBARI’s efforts to inspire a new generation of ocean explorers and share the discoveries with audiences around the world.
MBARI’s 2021 Annual Report also looks forward, highlighting the construction of a new flagship research vessel and new additions to the MBARI team. Get a sneak peek at work that lies ahead for MBARI this year, from a new observatory on the Central Coast to an expedition returning to a remote area of the Arctic.
