Develop expertise in evaluating environmental issues through interdisciplinary natural and social science lenses. This PhD program focuses on biological oceanography, marine ecosystems, how climate change affects oceans, and marine policy/management.
Oceans form Earth's thin outer layer, and marine science explores this realm from deep seas to coastal waters. These vast, ever-changing systems hold most of the planet's water, carbon, surface heat, and a significant portion of its biomass. Functioning alongside the atmosphere, landmasses, and ice, oceans power our climate system and sustain all terrestrial life.
