Our research and education opportunities will attract theoreticians, problem solvers, computer specialists, field enthusiasts, and those with a passion for learning. The School offers outstanding educational opportunities. Approximately 75 graduate students are in residence working within four areas of specialization (biological, chemical, physical, and marine geology and geophysics) and on a variety of interdisciplinary topics (climate change, extreme environments, and coastal systems. The many research activities of the School advance our knowledge of the oceans and contribute to the understanding of societal concerns. Sponsored research-funding averages $14 million per year.
