Introduction
The Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences (BIOS), home to some of the longest-running sets of ocean observations available anywhere in the world, is now part of the most innovative institution in the U.S.––Arizona State University. Our researchers leverage a wide variety of vessels and facilities operating in its unique position at the edge of the Sargasso Sea in the North Atlantic to explore the ocean and address critical local and global environmental issues. We attract scientists seeking to collaborate at the leading edge of ocean research and education helping to ensure a thriving future for all.Since modest beginnings as a seasonal field station in 1903, the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences has grown into an internationally recognized center for oceanic science, atmospheric research and environmental monitoring and mapping. By investing in top-tier resident scientists and robust infrastructure—including R/V Atlantic Explorer, our UNOLS-compliant oceanographic research vessel—we stand as a fact-based voice in a crowded conversation around the state of our planet’s ocean and climate.
