The Center for Coastal Physical Oceanography at Old Dominion University was established to promote research on the physical oceanography of the
coastal ocean and related oceanographic processes. The coastal ocean is the focus of increasing research for reasons relating to both short-term anthropogenic impacts and long-term global change.
Eileen Hofmann, Professor of ocean, earth and atmospheric sciences at
Old Dominion University, is part of an $11 million
grant from the Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative (GoMRI)
for environmental studies funded by the
petroleum company BP in response to the
Macondo/Deepwater Horizon oil well blowout in 2010.
