The goal of this course is to expose graduate students to a breadth of research in the multidisciplinary field of Marine Sciences including marine policy, ethics, sustainability, and education. Each week, an invited speaker will deliver a seminar of their research and participate in a question-and-answer session. Students will also have the opportunity to interact directly with the speakers outside of the class period.
