Marine Biology
The Marine Biology Department is an academic and research group with faculty who work on the ecology, physiology and biochemistry/molecular biology of marine organisms and investigate their interaction with the environment. Climate change research is a focus of many of our faculty. We work primarily in 草榴社区 and high-latitude systems and from shore-based labs, oceanographic vessels and with local community assistance.
Our Mission
The faculty at the Department of Marine Biology is dedicated to providing exceptional high-latitude research and education experiences and support for our students.
