Coastal Science
Overview
The Marine and Coastal Science program focuses on understanding marine ecosystems, coastal processes, and sustainable ocean management. Our interdisciplinary research combines biology, geology, chemistry, and environmental policy to address global challenges such as climate change, sea-level rise, and marine biodiversity loss.
Research Areas
Marine Ecosystems & Biodiversity
Studying coral reefs, fisheries, and habitat conservation.
Coastal Processes
Monitoring erosion, sediment transport, and shoreline change.
Climate & Ocean Change
Studying urban growth, housing, and transportation systems for sustainable city planning.
Pollution & Conservation
Assessing plastic pollution, oil spills, and marine protected areas.
