Welcome to OCEan News!
OCEan News is a new newsletter about science funded by NSF’s Division of Ocean Sciences (OCE).
In this first issue we feature some of the cutting-edge scientific studies that were published in Fall 2020, as well as a new major new project funded by OCE. We also feature a letter by OCE Director Dr Terry Quinn about the challenges that the COVID-19 pandemic have posed to ocean science and what the NSF is doing to help those scientists whose research has been affected.
