As part of the EMSFORE international research initiative (Future Ocean Research in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea), researchers from the Charney School and GEOMAR Institute in Germany are collaborating to study the region as a natural laboratory for investigating the effects of global warming on the oceans.
ast week, we held the inaugural meeting of the alumni community for the Blue Economy Pre-Acceleration Program—a collaborative initiative between the Charney School and the Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship at the University of Haifa.
PhD student Xiongjie Zhou from the Marine Geosciences Department, has been awarded 1st place in the School's Cool Paper Award!
The School of Marine Sciences is delighted to congratulate our new PhD graduates on this remarkable achievement. We are incredibly proud of your dedication, perseverance, and the significant contributions you have made to marine science research during your doctoral studies. Your hard work and commitment to advancing our understanding of marine systems exemplify the excellence that defines our school. As you embark on the next chapter of your careers, we wish you continued success, fascinating discoveries, and fulfillment in your academic, professional, and personal journeys. From here to the sea and back - congratulations to all our new PhDs!
Dr. Derya Akkaynak from the Hatter Department of Marine Technologies recently participated in the 14th anniversary celebration of the mentorship program at Universität Greifswald, Germany – one of the oldest and most respected universities in Europe. Over the past two years, Dr. Akkaynak has served as a mentor to PhD students through this prestigious program, which aims to promote women in scientific careers by offering personal guidance, strengthening professional networks, and breaking down barriers in academia.
A groundbreaking study led by Prof. Roee Diamant, head of the Underwater Acoustics and Navigation Lab (ANL) in the Hatter Department of Marine Technologies, together with doctoral students Guy Gubnitsky and Yaly Mevorach, has developed the first automated system of its kind for decoding sperm whale
In July 2025, the Charney School of Marine Sciences launched one of its most ambitious and multidisciplinary research cruises to date. Over the course of three intensive days at sea, researchers, students, engineers, and professional staff worked side by side—merging diverse fields of expertise, cutting-edge technologies, and a variety of research platforms
Prof. Diamant’s innovative project focuses on the development of a polymer-based transducer designed to harvest energy from underwater acoustic noise — a cutting-edge approach that merges sustainability, advanced materials science, and marine technology.
This one-day event will bring together researchers, industry professionals, and students to explore the latest developments in marine technologies. The conference will highlight cutting-edge research, breakthrough innovations, and emerging trends shaping the future of the field.
