A new study from the Coral Biomineralization and Physiology Lab, led by Ph.D. candidate Federica Scucchia under the supervision of Prof. Tali Mass, in collaboration with the University of Rhode Island and the Hawai‘i Institute of Marine Biology, explored how much stress young corals can withstand.
During a deep-sea survey conducted by the Morris Kahn Marine Research Station of the Charney School of Marine Sciences, researchers were greeted by a large pod of dolphins – mothers and calves – performing acrobatic leaps for over an hour. The survey, led by Dr. Aviad Scheinin and PhD candidate Yali Mebarak, is part of an ongoing study of marine mammals in Israel’s deep waters.

Our researchers have found that, rather than drifting aimlessly, jellyfish in the Mediterranean are actually trying to move in a specific direction, often away from beaches — they're just not very good at it.
In a new study conducted by researchers from our Morris Kahn Marine Research Station , in collaboration with Greenpeace scientists documented the longest distance traveled by a sperm whale in the Mediterranean Sea.
The featured research project led by Prof. Roee Diamant (Marine Technologies Dep.) and Dr. Aviad Scheinin (Marine Biology Dep.), is using AI technology to uncover the significant impact of ship noise on dolphin communication.
The Israeli Association for Automatic Control (IAAC) held its annual meeting of graduate students in Systems and Control for the first time at the University of Haifa, and it was a resounding success!
A new study by Prof. Roee Diamant and Dr. Aviad Sheinin, found for the first time evidence, using artificial intelligence technology, that ship noise affects dolphins. The researchers, who monitored dolphins in the Gulf of Eilat, found that the dolphins communicate differently and change their vocal behavior when they encounter ship noise, and therefore they are definitely affected by ship noise
New research carried out by our Morris Kahn Marine Research Station has discovered that coral species common in the warmer Indo-Pacific region and Red Sea are for the first time appearing off Israel’s northern Mediterranean coast — indicating evidence of global warming.
In a study led by Prof. Beverly Goodman-Tchernov (Department of Marine Geosciences) and MSc graduate Charles Everhardt, tsunami deposits were discovered for the first time on land associated with the destruction of Caesarea in 749 CE.
