Awarded by the American Geophysical Union (AGU), the Ewing Medal is one of the most distinguished honors in Earth and ocean sciences. It recognizes a career of transformative impact on our understanding of the ocean and its geophysical processes, placing Prof. Ben-Avraham among the most influential scientists in the field worldwide.
Our researchers recently participated in a groundbreaking Israeli-European collaboration in Port-Vendres, southern France, as part of the SHIPs (Ships Harbouring in Ports) initiative. This in
Last week, we launched the first Marine Technologies Conference (MTC), initiated and led by Prof. Itzik Klein, Head of the Hatter Department of Marine Technologies.
This week, we had the honor of celebrating the appointment of Prof. Zvi Ben-Avraham as Founding Governor of the Leon H. Charney School of Marine Sciences. Prof. Ben-Avraham – Israel Prize laureate, member of the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities, and pioneering scientist – founded the school and led it through its first decade, shaping it into a leading institution in marine science.
On July 30, 2025, the School of Marine Sciences held a moving and memorable graduation ceremony, celebrating the achievements of our master’s degree graduates.
The Charney School of Marine Sciences has achieved an outstanding ranking of 27th in the world for "Life Below Water" (SDG 14) in the 2025 Times Higher Education Impact Rankings. This year, over 2,400 universities worldwide were evaluated based on their contributions to advancing social, economic, and environmental sustainability, aligned with the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
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.
