SWOT at COP30 in Belém
The contribution of the SWOT mission to the observation of the ocean and the cryosphere, as well as its potential support to climate education, ocean literacy, and the promotion of space science, were presented during a side-event at COP30, in Belém, Brazil.
The new wave of oceanographers: Michael Hart-Davis
Post-doctoral researcher investigating tidal dynamics across the land-ocean zone.
The new wave of oceanographers: Anastasia Volorio-Galéa
PhD student working with a new Lagrangian methodology aimed at reconstructing high resolution SST (Sea Surface Temperature) submesoscale fronts with the ultimate goal of estimating the strain field at high resolution.

Book: SWOT and the New Wave of Oceanographers
Fresh off the press! The ebook "SWOT and the New Wave of Oceanographers - Early Career Researches speak about SWOT" is an attempt to document the thoughts of the generation of researchers who will help chart the course of oceanography’s future, and provide a snapshot of their views through the lens of SWOT.
Publication: SWOT reveals the largest ocean waves
An original study reveals a new record for the highest ocean waves ever measured in the open ocean and how these giant waves are formed. The methodology applied in the study can be useful in a wide range of engineering and geophysical application, such as the design of structures and adaptation to climate change, in particular in coastal areas, the interpretation of sedimentary records and the analysis of yet unexplained seismic signals.
The BioSWOT2025 meeting at MIO: first results from a Mediterranean biophysical expedition across the ocean fine scales (1-100 km)
The BioSWOT2025 meeting was the occasion to show first confirmed results from the BioSWOT-Med cruise and discuss possible interpretations for preliminary and unexpected ones. The meeting concluded with new steps forward during the BioSWOT ANR project.
