The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) is devoted to scientific research and science- and engineering-education leading to MS and PhD degrees in oceanography and related fields. It is located in the village of Woods Hole, Massachusetts. It grants degrees jointly with MIT. It is separate from the Marine Biological Laboratory, which is also in Woods Hole.

In the early-to-mid 1980s, WHOI's Dr. Robert Ballard, and WHOI itself, received much publicity because of his (ultimately successful) search for the remains of the Titanic on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean.

History

WHOI was founded in 1930 with a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation. Henry Bryant Bigelow was its first director.

Vessels

WHOI operates several research vessels and vehicles, owned by the United States Navy or the National Science Foundation: 1

  • R/V Knorr (AGOR-15)
  • R/V Atlantis (AGOR-25)
  • R/V Oceanus
  • R/V Tioga
  • DSV Alvin

WHOI also shares with MBL a large library of marine-related works.

The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution has a counterpart on the west coast, the Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
