Situated at the National Taiwan University main campus, Institute of Oceanography was established in 1968. The Institute has endeavored to promote the interdisciplinary research and education of marine sciences in Taiwan. The faculty and staff are committed to academic excellence and social responsibility by studying and protecting the marine environment, promoting the sustainable utilization of marine resources, and conserving marine ecosystems.
The Institute offers both M.S. and Ph.D. programs, emphasizing on four different areas: physical oceanography, chemical oceanography, marine geology and geophysics, marine biology and fisheries.
The Institute maintains a research vessel, the Ocean Researcher I. The vessel is equipped with advanced navigation equipment and research instruments. The operation is coordinated by experienced administrators, and is further supported by the crew, marine technicians and the vessel’s Regional Instrument Center.
DIVISION INTRODUCTION
The Division of Marine Biology and Fisheries embraces education and research on a broad spectrum of marine biological sciences, including marine biodiversity, ecosystem functions, marine ecology, evolution of marine organisms, and fisheries science and management. Faculty expertise ranges from the bottom of marine food web (producers) to the top predatory species, and includes both theoretical and practical approaches. We also encourage inter-disciplinary approaches through discussions and research collaborations. Our goal is to provide required knowledge and rational solutions to societal challenges.
Our research areas underlie some of the cutting edge in marine sciences, such as:
The impacts of global climate change
Marine conservation biology
Sustainable fisheries management
