Dr. John K. Horne is the current director.
It is one of 16 NOAA Cooperative Institutes (CIs).[1]
The JISAO research themes are:
- Climate research and impacts
- Marine ecosystems
- Environmental chemistry
- Ocean and coastal observations
- Seafloor processes
- Protection and restoration of marine resources
