Just out here in the wetlands reminding mosquitoes who's boss 🦟🌾 #FieldworkFashion #EarthScienceLife" @ODUSCI

Collaboration drives discovery @ODU! This summer 4 @NorfolkStateUniv students joined @Odu_OES in Dr. Margaret Mulholland’s lab to #research new dynamic & water quality in #HamptonRoads. Read about their #internship here: odu.edu/sci/article/su… #EnvironmentalScience #OduResearch

ODU researchers have discovered that the sand dunes at First Landing State Park began forming around 5,000 years ago—predating Egypt’s Great Pyramid by centuries. 📰 Read more: whro.org/environment/20… #CapeHenry #ODUresearch #Geology #AncientEarth # #SandDunes

Great Earth Day turnout with @ODUScience on 4/12! Chilly but amazing demos: Chesapeake Bay touch tank, fossil dig, VR cruise & more! 🌎 #EarthDay #ODUScience #Science

Tej Ronur Praful, Eduardo Perez Vega & Peter Bernhardt represented OES at Blair MS's College & Career Fair! 🌊 700+ students explored harmful algal blooms, planktoscopes & what happens to Styrofoam at 5000m deep! 🧪🌀 #ODUOES #STEMoutreach #Oceanography

Three OES PhD candidates represented ODU at #ASLO2025! 🌊 🔬 Huanqing Huang: Transparent marine particles (<1mm) from Azores to Canaries 🌱 Greg Joern: Biofilms & microplastic sediment trapping 🗻 Sam Whitehead: Sediment infill models of Jackson Lake, WY #ODUOES #SciComm

🌊 Honored to sponsor #VMDS2025! PhD candidate Tejaswini Ronur Praful shared insights on microplastics in Hampton Roads—an emerging issue affecting marine life & human health. Tackling this challenge is key to a sustainable future! 🌎💙 #OESatVMDS #Microplastics #Sustainability

Celebrate #EarthDay2025 at ODU! 🌱🔬 Join us Sat, April 12 @ 9:30 AM for a FREE, hands-on science fest with ODU’s #STEM teams & local partners! 🌊💚 📍 ODU | All ages welcome! #ODUEarthDay #LoveOurPlanet #GoGreen

🌊🔬 Another incredible summer for COS Undergraduate Research Program! Our undergrads dove into South Bay, studying vital seagrass beds under the mentorship of Dr. Zimmerman & Dr. Hill. Their dedication inspires the next generation of marine scientists!🐟 #ODUScience #COSURP2024

🌊🎉 Kicking off Fall 2024 with perfect beach weather at our GSO cookout! Big welcome to our new grad students – here’s to a semester full of discoveries, friendships, and adventures! 🏖️ #ODU #GSO #WelcomeWeek #Fall2024 #OceanographyFamily

Meet Caldwell Buntin, our Graduate Summer Award recipient! Under Dr. Nora Noffke's mentorship, Caldwell loves fly fishing for Redfish and Trout. He completed his MS at the University of Kansas and finds OES at ODU more relaxed . #GraduateSummerAwards #ODUResearch #GradLife

🌍🔬 Exciting #Summer2024 research! Dr. Joseph Tamborski & Ph.D. student Moira Taylor from ODU are in Cape Cod, MA, with the US Geological Survey & Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, studying dissolved carbon in salt marshes! 🦀💧 #ODUResearch #CapeCod #EnvironmentalScience

When you think of a force of nature, think of @odu_oes Ana who not only completed @ODU in 3 years, but will go to University of Iceland for graduate school. Read about their story below. #GoMonarchs #Classof2024 odu.edu/sci/article/ma…

🌊🔬 Exciting news! Dr. Greg Cutter @ODU reveals how particulate Zn in marine phytoplankton varies with depth, location, and season, impacting the global carbon cycle. Read more: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… #MarineScience #ZincCycle #ClimateChange

🎉 Exciting news! The Elizabeth River Project's Ryan Resilience Lab opened on June 3rd! The Mulholland Lab group showcased their research on the Lafayette/Elizabeth Rivers and a Planktoscope. Huge thanks to the team! 🌊🔬 #RyanResilienceLab #ElizabethRiverProject #ScienceAction

Exciting news! OES's Pete Sedwick led a 60-day NSF-funded expedition to the Amundsen Sea aboard the icebreaker Nathaniel B. Palmer. The team, including Bettina Sohst and Tara Williams, studied melting glaciers and their impact on sea levels. #Antarctica #ClimateChange #OES

Congrats to our May 2024 graduation students! Nicole Buckley, PhD Candidate, was hooded during the graduation ceremony by her advisor Dr. Greg Cutter (Pic #1). Dr. Joe Tamborski's students Moira Taylor and Jessica Haddock received their MS In Ocean & Earth Sciences (Pic # 2).

OES Graduate Student Nicole Buckley will be defending her dissertation on Thursday, May 2nd at 1pm in the CAVE auditorium! Please come and show your support as she discusses her research on hydrogen sulfide and its importance in seawater metal cycling. #olddominionuniversity
