Dr. Morison's main focus centers on the study of environmental change in the Arctic. He heads the project office for the multi-government agencies' Study of Environmental Arctic Change program (SEARCH). In addition, he has spent the last three springs in the vicinity of the North Pole directing hydrographic analysis of ocean conditions for the North Pole Environmental Observatory program. Another aspect of his research has used autonomous underwater vehicles to study turbulent vertical velocity and fluxes of heat and salt in the Arctic Ocean.
