Our New Research Reveals: Jellyfish Aren’t Drifting Aimlessly – They’re Actively Trying to Escape the Shores!
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.
New study documented the longest distance traveled by a sperm whale in the Mediterranean Sea
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 Charney School has been featured in ISRAEL21c’s most incredible Israeli scientific discoveries so far in 2024, shaping our understanding of the world and its complexities.
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.

Impact of ship noise on dolphins identified for first time with help of AI -new study
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
Discovery of soft coral species offers new evidence Mediterranean turning tropical
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.
Study finds new evidence that a tsunami destroyed medieval Caesarea
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.
Israeli jellyfish experts predict a summer jellyfish-free on Israel’s shores
Prof. Roee Diamant (Hatter Department of Marine Technologies) in partnership with the University of Zagreb and Rujer Boskevic Institute are developing a “swarm” of low-cost underwater autonomous robots that coordinate their routes to better acoustically detect and estimate fish populations. The grant from the Schmidt Family Foundation will support the development of a swarm of low-cost, underwater autonomous robots that coordinate for better acoustic detection and estimation of fish populations.

Shark research awarded National Geographic Wayfinder grant
A team of researchers led by National Geographic Explorer Dr. Aviad Scheinin (Morris Kahn Marine Research Station) has been awarded a $100,000 National Geographic Wayfinder Grant to track the migration of sharks along the eastern Mediterranean Sea and learn about their adaptation to changing climatic conditions.
