Each fall, the Seymour Marine Discovery Center and the Institute of Marine Sciences hold an open competition for UC Santa Cruz students to encourage research and education projects in the marine sciences. Top projects receive Student Research and Education Awards, which provide funding to support the continuance of students’ work. The Seymour Center and IMS are pleased to now share these projects with the public.

Join us online on June 8 at 11 AM PDT as the 2019-20 Student Research and Education Awards recipients present their marine science projects during a live webinar, “A Special World Oceans Day Presentation: Lightning Talks with 2019-20 Student Research and Education Award Recipients.” Project topics range from elephant seals to macroalgae to global sea surface temperatures, each presenting real issues in the world of marine science and showcasing UC Santa Cruz undergraduate and graduate students’ global impact in addressing them.
