GRADUATE SCHOOL OF OCEANOGRAPHY 
The Graduate School of Oceanography, in addition to the usual classroom 
facilities, has a modern, fully-equipped oceanographic laboratory which 
was completed in 1960. The School also has the use of the TRIDENT, a 
180 foot research vessel owned by the University. 
Research programs in progress involve a wide range of topics in physi- 
cal, chemical, geological and biological oceanography, including ocean 
currents, sea water radioactivity as related to circulation studies, 
dynamics of sedimentation, origin of the sea floor, plankton production 
and distribution, underwater sound of biological origin, productivity 
of estuaries and coastal ponds, fishery biology and information retrieval,
