The School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences (SoMAS) at Stony Brook University is the the State University of New York's center for marine and atmospheric research, education, and public service. Research at SoMAS explores solutions to a variety of issues facing the world today ranging from local problems affecting the area around Long Island to processes that are impacting the entire globe. SoMAS became a school at Stony Brook University in 2007, but existed for more than 40 years as the Marine Sciences Research Center (MSRC) and the Institute for Terrestrial and Planetary Atmospheres (ITPA). In the mid-1970's MSRC/SoMAS began to internally publish several report series as a means of more rapidly reporting the results of its research than would typically occur in the standard refereed scientific literature. Much of the research described in these reports, however, was also eventually published in scientific journals, proceedings and books. These Working Papers range from 1981-1993.

The condition of New York's ocean shoreline, 1993
(Marine Sciences Research Center, Stony Brook University, 1995) Marine Sciences Research Center; Bokuniewicz, Henry J. (Henry Joseph); Bubolo, Nicole Justine; Chang, Sherry; Larese. Stephen; Reigert, Maria; Torre, F. Jason; Preservation Department, Stony Brook University Libraries
from the introduction, ". . .It is my intention to explore ways to classify the coast, using only aerial photographs, in a way that will facilitate comparisons of different sites along NY's ocean shoreline with regards to the degree of protection provided by the beach and dune, or to their susceptibility to overwashing. . ."
Environmental conditions along the proposed offshore path of the Transco pipeline in the Lower Bay of New York Harbor
(Marine Sciences Research Center, Stony Brook University, 1992) Marine Sciences Research Center; Bokuniewicz, Henry J. (Henry Joseph); Bubolo, Nicole Justine; Chang, Sherry; Larese. Stephen; Reigert, Maria; Torre, F. Jason; Preservation Department, Stony Brook University Libraries
from the introduction, "A buried gas pipeline is proposed to run from the southern tip of Staten island westward across Raritan Bay thence across the Ambrose Channel to Kennedy International Airport. . .The purpose of this report is t review the geological and environmental conditions along this route."
Development of a research program for the Peconic Bay Estuary responsive to management needs : phase 1 : report of a workshop, 26 November 1991
(Marine Sciences Research Center, Stony Brook University, 1991) Marine Sciences Research Center; Colvin, Gordon; McElroy, Anne; Minei, Vito; Nuzzi, Robert; Schubel, J. R.; Smith, Christopher F.; Walker, Andrew; Bubolo, Nicole Justine; Chang, Sherry; Larese. Stephen; Reigert, Maria; Torre, F. Jason; Preservation Department, Stony Brook University Libraries
from the introduction, "On 26 November 1991, a workshop was help at the Marine Sciences Research Center to begin to develop for the Peconic estuary a research program responsive to management needs. . ." This working paper is a compilation of the reports of the working groups.
Some possible futures of Long Island Sound
(Marine Sciences Research Center, Stony Brook University, 1991) Marine Sciences Research Center; Schubel, J. R.; Pritchard, Donald W.; Bubolo, Nicole Justine; Chang, Sherry; Larese. Stephen; Reigert, Maria; Torre, F. Jason; Preservation Department, Stony Brook University Libraries
from the introduction, ". . .In this paper we explore the range of those possible futures. Since the possible futures will depend primarily upon people and their activities, we first review the population and land use practices in the drainage basin -- past, present, and future populations and practices -- before turning to a discussion of scenarios of Long Island Sound's future. . ."
The urban environment and waste disposal : notes prepared for the Consiglio Nazionale Delle Richerche, New York State Conference on "Public-Private Partnership for Urban Revitalization", 6-8 November 1991
(Marine Sciences Research Center, Stony Brook University, 1991) Marine Sciences Research Center; Schubel, J. R.; Bubolo, Nicole Justine; Chang, Sherry; Larese. Stephen; Reigert, Maria; Torre, F. Jason; Preservation Department, Stony Brook University Libraries
from the closing observations, "Waste Management problems in cities are problems of long-standing. . .Many urban problems of the future can be identified now. They should be; and they should be attended to now. Preventative environmental management is far more effective and less costly than corrective environmental management."
