Start and end dates for seasonal staff vary with each position.

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.

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.
