- The Ocean Research Institute has six research departments that study the
physics, chemistry, earth science, and biology of the oceans. ORI scientists
conduct research primarily during expeditions of the research vessels
Tansei-maru and Hakuho-maru.
As an educational institution of the graduate school of the University of
Tokyo, the Ocean Research Institute focuses on nurturing young scientists. Each
of the three graduate schools offers Master's and Ph.D. programs, which include
a curriculum of lectures and seminars, as well as hands-on training. We also
nurture students through supervision of research leading to theses and
dissertations, commonly involving participation in seagoing expeditions.
