Bruce Corliss is a Professor and Dean of the School of Oceanography at the University of Rhode Island (URI). He holds a Ph.D. (1978), M.S. (1973), and B.A. (1971), all from URI. His research focuses on coastal environmental change, deep-sea benthic ecology, and the geochemistry of foraminifera, with applications to Cenozoic paleoceanography. His work bridges geosciences and marine conservation, emphasizing environmental proxies for coastal systems.

Research contributions include seminal studies on Mg/Ca-temperature relationships in benthic foraminifera, published in Earth and Planetary Science Letters (2008). His academic leadership includes roles in 'greening' research fleets and advancing marine science infrastructure. He is affiliated with URI's Marine Lab and interdisciplinary programs in Earth & Climate Sciences and Marine Science & Conservation.
