This popular suite of university-level summer courses, designed to immerse an international cohort of students in an intensive 3-week program of coursework and research that is unique in marine science education. Founded in 1903, BIOS is a world-class ocean science research and education facility. These courses, listed below, provide undergraduate and graduate students with the opportunity to expand their studies into subtropical environments and/or to investigate topics in ocean science, which are not offered within the curricula of their home institutions. BIOS has quick and easy access to a diverse array of subtropical marine habitats and ocean locations which, combined with lectures, discussions and integrated field work and laboratory exercises, provide an optimal environment for experiential learning.

ABOUT THE ROGER ARLINER YOUNG FELLOWSHIP

In an effort to make the conservation and clean energy fields more equitable and accessible, the Roger Arliner Young (RAY) Fellowship Program aims to increase and facilitate environmentally-related career pathways for emerging leaders of color. The RAY Fellowship Program is a paid fellowship designed to equip recent college graduates with the tools, experiences, support, and community they need to become leaders in the conservation and clean energy sectors—one that, in our visions of the future, fully represents, includes, and is led by the diverse communities, perspectives, and experiences of the United States.

Welcoming Katherine Rogers to our Instagram student takeover series, they shared their love of fish morphology and the exciting work underway at the UW Fish Collection.

My name is Katherine and today I got to take over the instagram! I’m a junior who is a marine biology and SAFS double major, and I LOVE FISH. I love love love fish morphology so that’s what I wanted to share. 

Our fellowship is designed to integrate your skills and professional development around content marketing, storytelling, social media, graphic design, video, CRM, project management, and leadership. Bring who you are and expand!

The Canadian Studies Center has a bunch of exciting Arctic-focused courses on offer for Spring 2023! Each course listed below counts towards the interdisciplinary Arctic Studies Minor.

I am very excited to offer my Climate Governance (ENVIR/SMEA201) course this spring. Solving the problems of climate change requires that individuals like you and me, communities, firms, NGOs, and governments change what we currently do. But unfortunately, most people and organizations are reluctant to change, especially when such changes impose costs. So, how can we then avert the climate crisis? And, how do we pay for climate action so that we do not harm disadvantaged and historically marginalized communities?

Four hundred and eighty kilometers from the Oregon Coast lies an active submarine volcano known as Axial Seamount, which erupted in 1998, 2011, and again in 2015. It is the most studied underwater volcano in the world, in part, thanks to the Regional Cabled Array (RCA), funded by the National Science Foundation as part of the Ocean Observatories Initiative. 

From salmon ecologists and scientific divers to conservation geneticists and marine biologists, the halls of UW’s School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences and Marine Biology are filled with women in science.
Some are just beginning their journey with undergraduate degrees while others are pursuing research as retired professors, and we’re celebrating them all and the diversity among them.
For the UN International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we share thoughts from more than 20 women, about their inspirations, the barriers they’ve overcome, and tips for being women in science. 

NOAA’s AFSC Recruitment Processes Program (RPP) of the Resource Assessment Conservation and Engineering (RACE) Division collects plankton, larval and juvenile fish samples in the Gulf of Alaska, eastern Bering Sea and the Arctic (Chukchi and Beaufort Seas) in support of ecosystem monitoring and studies to understand and predict fisheries recruitment. Research is conducted across the 1.5 million mile span of Alaskan waters, providing data on seasonal fisheries, and developing environmental and biological indices of ecosystem health annually for resource management.
