Affiliated Faculty and Professional Interests

Faculty in related disciplines from other departments and local institutions, as well as academic research affiliates of the interdepartmental Institute of Marine Sciences may be invited to join the Marine Sciences Graduate Group. As such they may instruct some courses in the Ocean Sciences curriculum and sponsor students in the Ocean Sciences Ph.D. and Marine Sciences Masters degree programs administered by the Ocean Sciences Department.
