Congratulations to Prof. Ilana Berman-Frank on receiving a prestigious grant for marine research centers
Congratulations to Prof. Ilana Berman-Frank on receiving a prestigious grant from the Planning and Budgeting Committee (PBC) for marine research centers.
The research team is led by Professors Berman-Frank, Yizhaq Makovsky and Barak Herut, together with Prof. Roee Diamant and Dr. Yoav Lehahn from the Charney School, as well as a large multidisciplinary team from leading research institutions in Israel.
Charney School Representatives on the Global Scientific Stage: Insights from EGU2025
Researchers and students from the Charney School recently participated in the annual European Geosciences Union (EGU) conference held in Vienna, Austria.
Initiatives from the School of Marine Sciences Selected in University of Haifa Sustainability Competition
The School of Marine Sciences is proud to be part of a double win in the University of Haifa’s “We Came to Improve” sustainability competition – a campus-wide initiative promoting environmental innovation and action.
Sailing Through Maritime History: The “Sea Voyage” Course Experience
This week, we set sail as part of the “Sea Voyage” course in our Maritime Strategy program, focusing on connecting historical heritage with contemporary maritime policy.
The course, co-led by Dr. Igal Berenshtein, PhD Berenshtein and Dr. Yoav Lehahn, is built around a brilliant concept: learning about strategic, environmental, and historical topics of the Eastern Mediterranean in situ—while sailing, observing coastal sites from short distances, and engaging in meaningful conversations in an intimate setting. Aboard the yacht, with our small group and the gentle Mediterranean breeze, we created the perfect atmosphere for exchanging knowledge and insights about the sea and its significance.
A Moving Gathering of the School of Marine Sciences Community!
This week we held a special event that brought together our entire community – researchers, students and interested visitors gathered for an experiential and connecting meeting.
It was moving to see the fruitful connections formed between all members of our school community, who share a common vision for creating change through the sea.
Dr. Oren Gal’s Lab Partners with Rafael in EU Maritime Security Project
Dr. Oren Gal’s Swarms and AI Lab (SAIL) at the Hatter Department of Marine Technology is collaborating with Rafael Advanced Defense Systems on the European Union’s #UnderSec project.
Our research team is developing advanced algorithms for underwater target detection through multi-sensor data fusion – cutting-edge technology that will enhance the security of maritime infrastructure and protect marine ecosystems.
Research Update from Our Water Chemistry Lab!
At the Water Chemistry Lab in Morris Kahn Marine Research Station, we are actively monitoring nutrient dynamics as part of our ongoing research efforts. This work is conducted within the framework of EMS FORE (Eastern Mediterranean Sea as a Model for Future Ocean Research) project , aiming to enhance our understanding of biogeochemical processes in a rapidly changing marine environment.
Congratulations to Dr. Oren Gal on Receiving a Grant from the Israel Innovation Authority for His Neuromorphic Computing Research
Warm congratulations to Dr. Oren Gal from the Hatter Department of Marine Technologies on receiving a grant from the Israel Innovation Authority for his project, “Swarm Decision-Making Using Neuromorphic Computing.”
Join us at the Tech4Bio 2025 workshop – Technology for Marine Biology
The conference will bring together experts, students, and decision-makers to showcase the impact of technology on marine biology research. Innovative tools like remote sensing and marine robotics will be presented, enabling monitoring of marine ecosystems and improving the management of marine resources for the future.
Prof. Roee Diamant Receives Prestigious NATO SPS Grant for Pioneering Marine Security Project
The grant supports the development of the innovative project “Swarm of Energy Harvesting Floaters for the Detection of Vessel Threats (SHIELD).”
