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 PublicWe 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 EducatorsStudents 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.
