Ocean Research Project (ORP) has been instrumental in supporting the PASSENGERS initiative by providing critical assets and expertise. Utilizing the SRV Marie Tharp, a steel-hulled sailing research vessel, ORP facilitated the deployment and recovery of gliders, enabling efficient data collection during the 2024 field campaign. This collaboration allowed larger vessels to focus on complementary experiments, maximizing the efficiency of both human-crewed and uncrewed platforms, and contributing significantly to the success of multi-ship operations.

During our founder's, Matt Rutherford’s solo journey around the world, he discovered an alarming amount of plastic debris in the Ocean, sparking ORP's initial focus on marine debris. ORP's early expeditions laid the groundwork for understanding plastic pollution’s global distribution and ecological impacts. 

Delve into cutting-edge climate research with Ocean Melting Greenland (OMG), where we investigate the profound impacts of warming oceans on Greenland's ice sheet. Join us as we study the dynamics of ocean-terminating glaciers and their contributions to sea level rise, shaping future environmental insights.

Explore the forefront of climate science with GO-MARIE (Glacier-Oceans Mapping & Research Interdisciplinary Effort), as we uncover the mysteries of Greenland’s changing coastal landscapes. Join us in mapping uncharted fjords, studying glacier-ocean interactions, and advancing global understanding of climate change impacts.
