Oceanographer Shares Her Research through Artistic Expression

Oceanographer Shares Her Research through Artistic Expression

Sujata Murty, an assistant professor in the Department of Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences, is among a group often scientists who worked with artists as part of SYNERGY II, a collaborative project between Art League RI and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, which offers a unique opportunity to share ocean science research through artistic expression. Murty, whose research examines past changes in ocean and climate systems through the collection of coral samples, was paired with NYC-based photographer Marcy Cohen. The two worked remotely on a photo series called “Oceans of Time,” which highlights different elements of Murty’s past dives in the Indonesian Seas and Pacific Ocean.
