Cooperative Institute for Ocean Exploration, Research, and Technology

CIOERT serves NOAA/OAR/OER priorities in four theme areas:

Development of advanced underwater technologies – expanding the scope and efficiency of exploration and research by developing, testing, and applying new technologies and innovative uses of existing technologies;

Exploration and research of frontier regions of the eastern U.S. continental shelf and beyond – exploration and research of ecosystems and habitats of economic, hazardous, scientific or cultural importance;

Improved understanding of deep and shallow coral ecosystems - using advanced underwater technologies and techniques to improve the understanding of coral and sponge ecosystems;

Outreach and education – expanding ocean literacy and building NOAA's technical and scientific workforce through hands-on, at-sea experiences.

The Office of Ocean Exploration and Research (OER) is CIOERT’s primary NOAA partner. CIOERT’s academic and research partners are Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute-Florida Atlantic University, the University of North Carolina, Wilmington, the University of Miami, and SRI International, St. Petersburg, Florida.
