January 14, 2021

University Relations

The Ocean Acidification Research Center in the College of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences is accepting proposals from UAF students to add ocean acidification, or OA, measurements to their research projects. OA data can be applied to interdisciplinary research areas including aquaculture, environmental change, fisheries, marine biology, natural resource management and oceanography.

Interested students should submit a one-page proposal outlining the project's main goals and fieldwork schedule to collect up to 20 discrete samples to be run at the OARC free of charge. Students new to OA and seawater sampling should contact the OARC in advance to discuss details and requirements for sample collection and analysis. Students with awarded proposals are expected to participate in lab activities if COVID protocol allows involvement at the time of analysis.

Proposals are due March 15.
