NOAA's Undersea Research Program



As one of NOAA’s major ocean research programs, NOAA's Undersea Research Program (NURP) supports hundreds of scientists and graduate students by placing them underwater. This web site has been designed to provide you with information resources so that you can learn about our many discoveries and share in the excitement of deep sea science and exploration. We want to share this excitement with the public, educators and students. The highly visual and technically advanced nature of research undersea has proven to be an effective means to stimulate student interest in the sciences and also the marine environment. Reaching the Public We believe that a public well-educated and curious is essential to address today’s and tomorrow’s oceanic issues. The research results that we communicate should be written so that they easily understood in formats that are accessible and useful. An example of this is the Undersea Research Investment which depicts recent accomplishments of our program. The NURP Undersea Photo collection is the one of the most popular NOAA websites. NURP expeditions and projects are featured in numerous news stories and media productions. Reaching Students and Educators Students participate in NURP programs in many roles including scientists, explorers, aquanauts and technicians. Numerous graduate theses rely on our sposorship and NURP Center staff are involved in teaching courses in undersea science and technology. Our NURP Centers engage in a variety of education activities in the K-12 levels. Undersea Sites and Sights: When you click on any of the following links you will be leaving the NURP Web site.
