Ocean Chemistry Division
The Ocean Chemistry Division (OCD) is one of the three scientific research divisions within the Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML). The diverse Ocean Chemistry Division scientific staff is comprised not only of chemical oceanographers and atmospheric chemists but also biological and physical oceanographers. OCD typically employs multi-disciplinary approaches to solve scientific research questions central to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) mission requirements. The division's research includes projects that are important both in enhancing our basic understanding of the coupled atmospheric/ocean system but also in assessing the current and future effects of human activities on the coastal and oceanic environments.
